At the present date (December 1831) His Highness is collecting a

this accommodation, Syud Hillal, desiring to visit the district of:
Eastag and its dependencies, conferred upon him by His Highness' 1
mother, proceeded, with Mahomed bin Salim, to Burka, with the inten-.
tion of requesting Syud Saood bin Ali to accompany them. They were
