- Title:
- The Case of the Dhow Belonging to Ras-el Khyma which was Captured by HMS Dryad in May 1871
- Scope & Content:
- Despatch from the Government of Bombay, Political Department, to the Secretary of State for India, No. 19 of 1872, dated 6 May 1872, comprising an enclosure dated 20 November 1871.
The enclosure consists of a letter from John Kirk, Acting Political Agent and HM Consul, Zanzibar, to the Government of Bombay. Kirk forwards a copy of his letter to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs with regard to his condemnation of a dhow belonging to persons claiming to be subjects of Ras El Khyma [Ra’s al-Khaymah]. The crew and the enslaved people on board had been brought to Zanzibar where Kirk gave a decree of condemnation. In his letter Kirk refers to the legal opinion of Mr Rothery [Henry Cadogan Rothery, legal adviser to HM Treasury in questions and proceedings arising out of the trade in enslaved persons] which had been transmitted to him for his information (not included in this item). The enclosure focusses on whether Kirk’s jurisdiction had extended to this case and if his decree of condemnation had been legal.
