- 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, 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/4/2504/142195; 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 twelfth in a series of sixteen items about the Persian Gulf.
The item relates to complaints from Sheikh Sultan ben Suggur, 'Chief' of Rasel Khymah [Shaikh Sulṭān I bin Ṣaqr al-Qāsimī, Shaikh of Ra’s al-Khaymah and Sharjah], to Captain Arnold Burrowes Kemball, Resident in the Persian Gulf, regarding the Company policy of paying compensation, from incidents of 'piracy' and homicide, directly to the affected individuals rather than through their respective leaders. Sheikh Sultan's complaints also touch on wider issues relating to his right to administer the affairs of his people and his dissatisfaction with the amount of compensation offered in a recent case involving subjects of the Beniyas 'Chief' [Ruler of the Banī Yās tribe].
Kemball forwards these complaints on to the Government of Bombay, along with his extensive comments on Sheikh Sultan’s complaints. He includes a memorandum of references of amounts previously paid to shaikhs between 1841 and 1851 to support his comments.
The item also contains two extracts of letters from the Resident in the Persian Gulf to the Government of Bombay, dated 25 October 1850 and 30 January 1851, which contain details relevant to Sheikh Sultan's complaints.
The Government of Bombay forward copies of the above to the Court of Directors.
Whilst the item contains extracts of material dating from 1841, the bulk of the item's contents are dated 1850-52.
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: 12', and 'Examiner's Office'. Originally, the Collection number was given as '3' but this has been crossed out.
