Shaikh Hamad's replies confirm whether he would be attending or not. Cases were postponed on some occasions if they were not urgent. There were also no court cases at Christmas or on other religious holidays. The Shaikh was informed beforehand when court meetings were postponed. The courts were usually held once or twice a week.The main correspondence is between the Political Agent, Bahrain, and Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa. Most of the file is in Arabic.The file's core correspondence covers the period December 1930 to December 1935.
