Enclosure nos. 2-5 to a despatch from the Secret Department, Government of Bombay, dated 3 July 1848. The enclosures are dated 31 May-14 June 1848.
The enclosures consist of copies of correspondence related to hostilities between the Imam of Senna [Imām of Sana’a] and the Sherriff [Sharīf] of Mocha, including:
- Reports that the Sherriff is at Zebied [Zabid] and is wounded and losing followers, and that the Imam is preparing to take Zebied and Hodeida [Al Hudaydah] before the Sherriff can be reinforced by a Turkish [Ottoman] force now at Judda [Jeddah]
- Conflicting reports that the Imam has been abandoned or betrayed by his followers and fled to Senna, and that the Sherriff is preparing to take Mocha
- The opinion of the Political Agent, Aden, that the former reports are more likely to be reliable.
