Muscat*
sir.
I have the Ixonotxr to aclmotaodge receipt of your letter
no«lo61 da tod 16 th Jtmo do scribing a slave dealing case in
w ich th© Shaikh of Bareissi appears to ho inplioated»
2* I agro© with you that th© Sultan^ GOvoimmont acted with
comondabl© promptitud©, and tho fact that 3 of the slave
dealers war© caught and put in confinement will be a warning
to others #
I am afraid it is usoloas to address the Shaikh of
Bareini unless wo are in a position to do more than throat on #
I should be much obliged if you could find out any means by
which we could put the screw on this gentleman, and ^hen I
next go to the
Trucial Coast
A name used by Britain from the nineteenth century to 1971 to refer to the present-day United Arab Emirates.
I will enquire if anything can
be done from that direction. I doubt however if anything
is posedblei I fancy rico is grovm round Bareimi and 1 donH
think we could restrict his import® of anything else. Perhaps
however tho Bardisd Shai&h's people may teport something
through tho British Indian traders at ■•.bu p:).a"bi id Do'
and thoy may be able to indicate some method of malting tho
power of the British Govomment felt#
i have the honour to be,
Sir f
Your r^st obedient servant.
