‘Reception afforded by the Sheikh of Keweit to the Ex-chief of Bahrein.’
- Scope & Content:
-
This item consists of copies of correspondence, minutes, and consultations cited in, or enclosed with, political letters from the Government of Bombay. These political letters appear in IOR/F/4/2174/105546. It is the second in a series of forty-five items on the Persian Gulf. The main correspondents are the Government of Bombay and Major Samuel Hennell, Resident in the Persian Gulf.
The item concerns the capture by Shaik Abdoolah bin Ahmed [Shaikh ‘Abdullāh bin Aḥmad Āl Khalīfah], the former Ruler of Bahrein [Bahrain], of a ship belonging to a merchant from Bahrein, and his subsequent arrival in Koweit [Kuwait], where he has been given asylum by the Ruler, Shaik Jabir ul Subah [Shaikh Jābir I bin ‘Abdullāh Āl Ṣabāḥ]. Hennell is concerned about the implications of this for Shaik Abdoolah’s dispute with Shaik Mahomed bin Khaleefa [Shaikh Muḥammad bin Khalīfah Āl Khalīfah], the current ruler of Bahrein, and seeks to intervene to manage the situation. The item includes translations of letters from Hennell to Shaik Jabir, Shaik Abdoolah, and Shaik Mahomed, as well as translations of replies from Shaik Jabir and Shaik Abdoolah.
The item contains a table of contents (f 277), and the title page (f 276) contains the following references: ‘P C [Previous Communication] 5507, Coll. 7, Vol. 2’, ‘D/t 197/47’, ‘Collection No. 1 of No. 20’ and ‘Examiner’s Office’.
