Abstract: The file is comprised of twenty-four manumission application cases numbered 58 to 80, and is a continuation of the Bahrain Agency file 'File A/11 IV Slave cases Trucial Coast' (IOR/R/15/2/1853). The file contains a total of ninety-three individual manumission applications, made to the Residency Agent at Sharjah ('Abd al-Razzaq Razuqi) and submitted to the Political Agent in Bahrain for authorisation from the Political Resident. All of the manumission statements are included in the file in both English and Arabic, along with correspondence from the Residency Agent to the Bahrain Agency, and the Bahrain Agency to the Political Residency. All of the cases were straightforward in that manumission was unconditionally granted by the Political Resident.Physical description: Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 301; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
