Persians through the British Political A gent; that a special guard of the
Shaikh^ own men should be stationed for the protection of the Manamah
bazaar ; that ' Ali should leave Bahrain and not be permitted to return
for five years; and, finally, that the system of Sukhrah or forced labour,
in so far as the employes of foreigners were concerned, should be prohibited
by public notification. The Shaikh was warned, in the memorandum
delivered to him, that further rejection of advice in important matters
would not be tolerated by the British Government, and that their sup
port might be withdrawn, and might even take another direction, if
his attitude continued unfriendly. Lastly it was explained to him in the

announced that the bazaar guard were ready for inspection ; but 'Ali and
the ten men whose surrender was required were not produced, and it was
stated that they could not be found. The Shaikh, however, who still
continued to assert his own good faith, assisted in the attachment of his
nephew's house and moveable property, including two boats which
were burnt; and on the 28th of February, when Shaikh 'Isa finally
intimated that 'Ali and the others whose surrender was required had
absconded to the main land and were beyond his reach, Major Cox decided,
on the Shaikh undertaking to offer large rewards for their arrest, that
further proceedings were unnecessary. It had been suggested by the
