1907, to Sheikh Sagar (Appendix 27), which also
proves that he did not consider Hassan as having
authority to conclude the contract without con
sulting his partners.
His Majesty's Government are therefore of
opinion :—
1. That Hassan had no authority to conclude
the contract in question without the consent of
his partners.
2. That Nejef was a partner on the same terms
as the others.
3. That neither NejefJ Malcolm, nor Esa ever
approved the agreement, but, on the contrary, at
least two of them, when they heard of the terms,
formally expressed their disapproval.
4. That even if any expression of approval can
be deduced from the terras of Abdul Latif's letter
dated the 14th June, 1906;, it was given in ignor
ance of the most important terms of the contract,
which had been wrongfully concealed by Hassan
from his partners, and that on hearing of those
terms Abdul Latif emphatically repudiated the
transaction.

It is not considered necessary to consider again
the question whether the agreement was finan
cially for the benefit of the company, especially
as, no accounts ever having been rendered by
Hassan to his partners, it is impossible to test the
accuracy of the books as now quoted. It is only
necessary to remark that at least two of the
partners considered that the arrangement was
not advantageous to the company, and formally
protested against it. It may also be added that,
if it really was to the benefit of the company to
enter into the contract, it becomes more difficult
than ever to account for Hassan's anxiety to
conceal its terms from his associates. It is possible,
however, that this desire for concealment was due-
to a feeling that the contract might impair the
relations between the company and the sheikh, in
which case it would not be to the advantage of
the company, even though financially it might
have led to an increased revenue.
