I 3rwve the honour to invite a reference to
Mr Dodd’e despatch No 20b of the 12th ctooer 1931» re
garding tne claim of MX lOionj i against Shaikh Hamad of
Bahrain. 1 regret the delay in replying, out it has been
necessary to make detailed enquiries from the political
Agent. I now forward ,herewith,for your information cppies
of two letters received from the
political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.

show how the matter/stands.
2 . as Captain Prior points out there are only two
matters now outstanding {!) the division of the builaing
and ^2) a claim for a sum of 2,000 odd Kupeea. iue Otate
admit a liability for Us 1,880 but are unwilling to pay
until such time as Mr iusuf Khonji produces his ac ounts.
This in all the circumstances is natural. Firstly, it ic
eanential to prove whether the building was built with
joint unds, or merely out of Mr Klmnji's funds, and se
condly there are very str ng grounds for suspecting that
the accounts were not kept in due order, and oeiore tne
State definitely settles the claim they would naturaly
desire to be reassured on this point.
i do not think a settlement is ever likely to be
effected by correspondence through the many channels that
Mr Khonji tas adopted. It seem* to me obviou. that you

About this item
- Content
This file contains papers relating to a legal dispute between Yusuf Lutfally Khunji and Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the ruler of Bahrain. The case concerns a joint venture between the aforementioned parties to set up and operate an ice-making plant in Bahrain at a spring owned by Mr. Khunji in 1922. Following the expiration of a five year monopoly on the manufacture and sale of ice in Bahrain, the two parties fell into a dispute on the plant.
The majority of the papers consist of legal correspondence between Mr Khunji's lawyers in Manchester and either the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. in Bahrain or the Financial Advisor to the Ruler of Bahrain, Charles Dalrymple Belgrave. Of note, however, are letters of intervention by the Foreign Minister of Iran through the Persian Legation in London, protesting the treatment of a Persian subject in British protected territory.
