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, 26 April 1856.

The eighth item in the sequence is not present.
The item relates to the plunder of a vessel, the Cullian Pursad [Kalyān Parsād, also rendered in text as Culian Persad and Cullian Pursand], by Wahabee [Wahhābī] Arabs based at Sharja [Sharjah, also rended in text as Sharga and Shargah] after it became stuck in the mud near that place. The item contains:
- Petitions by Khimjee Gopalldass [Khemjī Gopāldās], owner of the vessel, requesting assistance from the Governor of Bombay

- Deposition of Oosman Moossa [ʻUthmān Mūsá], the nakoda [nakhuda] of the vessel, given to William Crawford, Senior Magistrate of Police, Bombay [Mumbai].
