- Scope & Content:
-
The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence and minutes cited in, or enclosed with, a Political Letter from the Government of Bombay to the East India Company Court of Directors, 31 March 1852, and found at IOR/F/4/2475/138723. It is the second in a series of eight items about the Persian Gulf.
The item relates to actions taken by Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Hennell, Resident in the Persian Gulf, following reports from Hajee Jassem [Ḥājjī Jāsim], Agent at Bahrein [Bahrain], of the plunder of boats from Bahrein and Kateef [Qatif] by Sheik Humud ben Mujuddil ul Amaeeree, Amaeer 'Chief ' [Shaikh Ḥamad bin Majdal al-‘Umayrī, Leader of al-‘Amāyir tribe]. As well as plunder, Sheik Humud has taken pilgrim passengers as captives to his stronghold on the island of Junnah [Jana]. Hajee Jassem links the incidents to recent disputes between Ameer Fysul [Amīr Fayṣal bin Turkī bin ‘Abdullāh Āl Sa‘ūd] and Sheik Mahomed ben Khuleefa [Shaikh Muḥammad bin Khalīfah Āl Khalīfah], Sheik of Bahrein. Hennell writes letters to Sheik Humud instructing him to release the captives he took from the boats.
The item also contains Sheik Humud's response, as well as Hajee Jassem's further report that Sheik Humud released a number of the captives back to Bahrein where they were sold. Hajee Jassem also comments on Sheik Mahomed's attitude to the affair and the displeasure of the Bahrein citizens towards their Sheik.
Hennell passes on copies of the above correspondence to the Government of Bombay.
Humud ben Mujuddil is also rendered in text as Humud ben Mujiddil and Humud ben Mujuddel.
The title page of the item contains the following references: 'Bombay Political Department', 'Draft No. 733 of 1852', 'Collection No 7', 'Vol: 2', and 'Examiner's Office'. Originally, the Collection number was given as '2 of No. 35' but this has been crossed out.
