Description:

Abstract: The file contains correspondence in the form of letters and memoranda regarding the Senior Joint Courts in Bahrain. Most of the letters are from the Political Agency in Bahrain to the Ruler of Bahrain, Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa informing him whether the court will be held or not. Shaikh Hamad's replies confirm whether he will be attending the court sitting or not. In cases where Shaikh Hamad was unable to attend, the Agency sent letters to both Shaikh Abdullah bin Isa Al-Khalifa and Shaikh Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa requesting them to attend the court sitting on his behalf.In general, the court was held on Wednesday of each week. However, cases were postponed on some occasions if they were not urgent and letters were sent to the Shaikh to inform him that there was no need for him to come to the court sitting.The main correspondence is between the Bahrain Political Agency, the Ruler of Bahrain (Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa and Shaikh Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa) respectively, and Charles Dalrymple Belgrave, Adviser to the Government of Bahrain. Most of the file is in Arabic.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 98; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is present in parallel between ff 3-78; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled. ff 79-97 (formerly ff 84-102) have been removed from IOR/R/15/2/1897 and re-foliated to fit this file; previous circled numbers have been crossed out.
