Claar the Line
At a private conference recently held at
Da"bai hy Majlis consisting of merchants and cousins
of Shaikh a cousin of Shaikh Saied was proclaimed
as Shaikh. This man wrote to the

Agenc^ -
that as Shaikh Saied had resigned he was now Shaikh.
It has "been ascertained that Shaikh Saied is still
at (Dahai ?) and that in order to avoid trouble fee
he XMgkt is desirous of support from British
Government. It is believed that reasons for attempt
to eject him are his general submission to the wishes
of uhe British Government and his enforcement of pay
ment of dehts. It is also understood that Shaikh
Saied has the support of the majority of the popula
tion, and of the Bedouins. Considering the num"b«r
of persons and properties entitled to British pro
tection in Dahai I submit that strongest support
consistent with policy "be afforded Shaikh Saied and
that Commanding Officer should he authorised to in
form Majlis through
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
Agent that ejection
of the Ruling Shaikh would incur His Majesty f s Govt's
strong disapproval with consequent serious effect on
the trade of Dahai #
