- Scope & Content:

The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence and resolutions, cited in, or enclosed with, a Political Letter from the Government of Bombay to the East India Company Court of Directors, 29 August 1854. A copy of this letter can be found at IOR/F/4/2586/154786, alongside details of further enclosures. The item is the fifth in a series of nine items on events in the Persian Gulf 1853-54.
The item relates to reports from Khojeh Hiskale [Khawājah Ḥizqīl bin Yūsuf], British Agent at Muscat, to Captain Arnold Burrowes Kemball, Resident in the Persian Gulf, regarding the plunder of a vessel, the Futh-el Khyer [Fatḥ al-Khayr], belonging to Ahmed bin Mahomed Ali el Bundeyree [Aḥmad bin Muḥammad ‘Alī al-Bundayrī]. The vessel was carrying cargo belonging to the British, ran aground off Soweih Beni boo Ali [As Siwayh, in Banī Bū ‘Alī territory] on the Jaalan [Ja‘alan, also rendered in text as Jaalun] coast, and was plundered by local inhabitants. Khojeh Hiskale's reports provide details of the incident and subsequent events.
Kemball forwards the reports to the Government of Bombay, alongside a copy of his letter to Syed Soweynee [Sayyid Thuwaynī bin Sa‘īd Āl Bū Sa‘īd], Governor of Muscat. He comments on:
- A similar occurrence involving the Centaur in 1852 and his concern that, left unchecked, these kinds of occurrences will keep happening
- Whether the Imaum [Imām] of Muscat has control or influence over the inhabitants of the Jaalan coast
- Measures the Government of Bombay should take, including the despatch of Indian Navy vessels to the region.
A resolution of the Government of Bombay is included in the item, alongside their subsequent letters to: Kemball; Major Atkins Hamerton, HM Consul and Company Agent in the Dominions of His Highness the Imaum of Muscat; Rear-Admiral Sir Henry John Leeke, Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Navy; and the Military Board, Bombay.
The title page of the item contains the following references: 'Bombay Political Department', Draft Number '20 1855', 'Collection No. 5 of No. 58 of 1854', 'Vol: 4' and 'Examiner's Office'. Originally, the Collection number was given as '4' but this has been crossed out and replaced with '5'.
