A copy of this Political Letter can be found at IOR/F/4/2238/112322, alongside details of further enclosures. The item is the fifty-eighth in a series of fifty-nine items on events in the Persian Gulf.The item relates to the new rule that all vessels belonging to ports under the ‘political control’ of Major Samuel Hennell, Resident in the Persian Gulf, who wish to trade in India must now carry a pass or register that has been signed by him. A list of the relevant shaikhs impacted by this is present at folio 618. The item also relates to a similar requirement that all vessels sailing under the flag of the Imaum [Imam] of Muscat must have a pass or register countersigned by Captain Atkins Hamerton, Her Majesty’s Consul and Company’s Agent in the Dominions of the Imam of Muscat.The issue is raised that affected vessels may have already departed for the season without the necessary paperwork. Solutions to this problem are discussed by the following: Hennell; Henry Young, Collector of Customs at Bombay [Mumbai]; and the Government of Bombay.The title page of the item contains the following references: ‘Bombay Political Department’, ‘Draft No. 345/48, Coll: 2, Vol: 58’, ‘Collection No. 14 of No. 21’ and ‘Examiner’s Office’.
