men there opened the question of the gardens • The Imam

A letter has been received by me from Sheikh Isa
bin Salih askins whether the proclamation regarding the penal
zakat is from the British Government. A suitable reply stating
clearly the position of Government on the question has been
sent.
Sheikh Muhammed bin Abdullah al Khalili has
advised the Omanis to purchase the gardens of Sheikh Rashid
and the Wall of Muttrah from the Imam and to return them to
their owners, on the grounds that the penal zakat will take
from them more tnan three
lakhs
One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees
of dollars which is a great
deal more than the gardens are worth. The Semail and Sharklyah
people are to subscribe for the Semail gardens, and those of
