- Scope & Content:
-
This part of the volume consists of copies of enclosures to a despatch from the Government of Bombay [Mumbai] Secret Department to the Secret Committee, Number 4 of 1853, dated 13 January 1853. The enclosures are numbered 3-9. Enclosure numbers 3-6 are dated 12 December 1852 to 5 January 1853.
Enclosure numbers 3 and 5 consist of two letters from the Political Agent at Aden, Captain Stafford Bettesworth Haines, to the Chief Secretary to the Government of Bombay. The letters report:
- The state of affairs at Aden and within its vicinity, including an incident in which a 'marauding party' of forty men of the Subiee [aṣ-Ṣubayḥī] 'tribe' attacked a kafila [caravan] of camels and plundered the goods it was carrying
- Actions taken by Haines in response to complaints from merchants at Hodeida [Al Hudaydah] claiming British protection that they had been treated unjustly by the Turkish [Ottoman] government of Hodeida in relation to increased customs dues, and in being forcibly removed from their houses so that Turkish soldiers could be accommodated in them.
Enclosure number 5 includes enclosed copies of correspondence between Haines and the Senior Naval Officer at Aden, Charles William Montrion, and correspondence between other Indian Navy officers.
Enclosures 4 and 6 are minutes by the Governor of Bombay, directing that copies of Haines's letters be sent to the Government of India and the Secret Committee, and approving of Haines's reported actions.
Numbers 7-9, listed in the abstract of contents as copies of the Bombay Overland Times, the Bombay Overland Telegraph & Courier, and the Bombay Overland Gazette newspapers dated 13 January 1853, are noted as missing.
