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, 13 January 1853, and found at IOR/F/4/2504/142185. Further enclosures to the letter can be found at: IOR/F/4/2504/142194; IOR/F/4/2504/142196; IOR/F/4/2504/142197; IOR/F/4/2504/142198; IOR/F/4/2504/142199; and IOR/F/4/2504/142200. The item is the eleventh in a series of sixteen items about the Persian Gulf.
The item relates to instructions sent by Captain Arnold Burrowes Kemball, Resident in the Persian Gulf, to Lieutenant Tronson, Commanding the Company brig Tigris. Tronson is to deliver Kemball's requisitions to Sheikh Saeed ben Butye, 'Chief' of Debaie [Shaikh Sa‘īd bin Buṭṭī, Shaikh of Dubai], and Sheikh Saeed ben Tahnoon, 'Chief' of Aboothabee [Shaikh Sa‘īd bin Ṭaḥnūn Āl Nahyān, Shaikh of Abu Dhabi]. The requisitions demand that these rulers take responsibility for acts of aggression recently committed by their subjects against the subjects of Sheikh Sultan ben Suggur [Shaikh Sulṭān I bin Ṣaqr al-Qāsimī, Shaikh of Ra’s al-Khaymah and Sharjah]. Kemball's instructions include letters to him from Hajee Yacoob [Ḥājjī Ya‘qūb], Agent at Shargah [Sharjah], which contain details of the attacks.
Kemball forwards copies of the above to the Government of Bombay, which forwards everything on to the Government of India and responds to Kemball with its opinions regarding his instructions.
The title page of the item contains the following references: 'Bombay Political Department', 'Draft No. 350 of 1853', 'Collection No. 1 of No. 8 of 1853', 'Vol: 11', and 'Examiner's Office'. Originally, the Collection number was given as '2' but this has been crossed out.
