- Abstract: The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence and minutes cited in, or enclosed with, a Political Letter from the Government of Bombay to the East India Company Court of Directors, 31 March 1852, and found at IOR/F/4/2475/138723. It is the third in a series of eight items about the Persian Gulf.The item relates to reports from Hajee Jassem [Ḥājjī Jāsim], Agent at Bahrein [Bahrain], to Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Hennell, Resident in the Persian Gulf, regarding a recent act of 'piracy' on the Guttur [Qatar] coast committed by Abdool Raheem ben Sabir [‘Abd al-Raḥīm bin Ṣābir] on a boat belonging to Mahomed ben Sanee [Muḥammad bin Thāni]. Members of the Soodan [Sudan] tribe intervened and took the property they were able to recover to Bidda [Al Bid‘] but are keeping it for themselves, which has now led to a dispute. Hennell forwards the reports to the Government of Bombay, along with his comments.The title page of the item contains the following references: 'Bombay Political Department', 'Draft No. 733 of 1852', 'Collection No. 7', 'Vol: 3', and 'Examiner's Office'. Originally, the Collection number was given as '3 of No. 35' but this has been crossed out.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description (used for referencing) commences at f 944, and terminates at f 949, as it is part of a larger physical volume; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the bottom right corner of the recto side of each folio.Pagination: the item also contains an original pagination sequence.
