Government of India that the cuetom houses of Bahrain should, in
certain circumstances, be taken charge of but the proposal had not com
mended itself to His Majesty's Government; and, such being the case
further pressure could only have been brought to bear by means
of a bombardment, which, in view of the Shaikh's partial compliance
with the ultimatum, it appeared to Major Cox would hardly be justi
fiable. Hamad was next released; and the Shaikh, in token of
renewed amity, presented the British
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
with a plot of land which
it had been intended to purchase from him. Before leaving Bahrain
which he did on the 4th of March in order to communicate the position
to Government, the Resident interviewed and sternly warned the Mullas
Jasim and Ahmad, the two chief Sunni ecclesiastics in Bahrain ; these
men, who were brothers, ha^l undoubtedly had a hand in the disturbances
and were deserving of being classed with Sharidah, the offender of 1899,
and with Muhammad-bin-'Abdul Wahhab of Darin, Turkish subject,'
as among the Shaikh's more mischievous advisers,*
The result of the proceedings was regarded by the Government of
India as on the whole satisfactory; bnt, as 'Ali remained at large,
some apprehension continued to prevail at Manamah. It ceased however^
on the 18th of July 1905, with the voluntary surrender of 'Ali, who'
accustomed to a life of ease at Bahrain, quickly tired of a wandering
existence among the Bedouins of Qatar. During his absence from
Bahrain he had more than once enquired on what terms he would he
allowed to come in, and he had been told in reply that the original
orders concerning him still held good, and that, as regarded details, he must
trust to the clemency of the British Government. 'Ali was accompanied
y out of the other men, his servants, whose surrender had been
demanded; and it was arranged that he should reside for five years as
a political delen,, at Bombay, on an allowance of Rs.600 a month, while
the rest shou'd be imprisoned for six months in the Central Jail at
aidarabad, Smd. A warning was conveyed to Hamad, the hen-apw-
rent whose attitude throughout the crisis had been as little satisfactory
is a ers, that the ultimate recognition of hie claims by the
Government of India would depend upon his future conduct.
