- ‘Persian Gulf. Relative to the recovery of the Amount for which the Chief of Bahrein became Security on behalf of the Chiefs of the Guttur Coast.-’
- 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 fourth in a series of eight items about the Persian Gulf.
The item relates to a report from Lieutenant James Tronson, Commanding Officer of the Company brigantine, Tigris, regarding his recent trip to collect money owed by Sheik Mahomed ben Khuleefa, Sheik of Bahrein [Shaikh Muḥammad bin Khalīfah Āl Khalīfah, Shaikh of Bahrain]. Sheik Mohamed owed the money as he was acting as security on behalf of the rulers of the Guttur [Qatar] coast. Tronson's report includes Sheik Mahomed's excuse for not paying the full amount, which relates to a loss of subjects as the inhabitants of Wookrah [Al Wakrah, also rendered in text as Wukrah] recently moved to Katiff [Al-Qatif], at the invitation of Ameer Fuzel ben Turkey [Amīr Fayṣal bin Turkī bin ‘Abdullāh Āl Sa‘ūd].
Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Hennell, Resident in the Persian Gulf, sends a copy of the report to the Government of Bombay, along with his comments. The item also includes a minute by the Governor of Bombay.
The title page of the item contains the following references: 'Bombay Political Department', 'Draft No. 733 of 1852', 'Collection No 7', 'Vol: 4', and 'Examiner's Office'. Originally, the Collection number was given as '4 of No. 35' but this has been crossed out.
