according to his instructions, the Turkish Government does not recognise
the claim of British Consular authorities to intervene on behalf of
Baliremese.
Her Majesty’s Embassy have the honour to refer to their Note Yerbale
No 84, of 12th August 1895, and to numerous other written and verbal
communications made on this matter, and they would remind the Sublime
Porte that, as the Chief of Bahrein is under the protection of the Queen
of England, it is quite inadmissible that the natives of Bahrein should,
when on Ottoman territory, be treated as Turkish subjects. They have
accordingly to request that immediate instructions be sent to the Vali of
Bussorah to recognise the right of Her Majesty’s Consul to intervene
in cases in which natives of Bahrein are concerned.
