or hide the fact that Saleh bin Mana drank at his house.
The man was useful to his Company and not wishing to offend
him he had always let him have what he wanted, I explained
that permits were strictly confined to non-Muslims and that
I was responsible for those to whom I issued them and that
it was wrong to provide Muslims with liquor even when
guests in a house. I told him that I had received a re-

port that Saleh bin Mana was the worse for drink when he
called on His Highness on Monday the 10th May and that it
was suggested that he had obtained it from his (Mr.Packer's)
house. Mr. Packer assured me that from henceforth he would
not allow Saleh bin Mana to have beer, etc., when he called.
Regarding the second point Mr. Packer admitted that
Saleh bin Mana had raised the question on several occasions
but beyond informing him that Petroleum Concessions Limited
were not interested in
Zubarah
18th-century town located 105 km from Doha.
he had given no opinion, I
asked him in future to refrain from giting any advice or
opinion on the subject and he said that he would.
NOTE ;
Saleh bin Mana has left the house |fla.ced at
his disposal by His Highness and has moved into the town.
Nasir bin Atieh is still residing in the house.

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence related to tensions between Bahrain (and the Al Naim tribe) and Qatar concerning the ownership of Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. on the Qatar peninsula that took place between March and June 1937.
At this time, the Al Naim tribe were allied to the Al Khalifa ruling family of Bahrain who claimed Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as a part of their own territory (the family had been based there before their conquest of Bahrain in 1783). The British authorities did not recognise the Al Khalifa's claim to Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. and mediated between the two sides. The file contains extensive details of this mediation process.
