have gradually come to regard the possoBsion of a
"paper from the government" as an inviolable proof of
ownership although actually in the case of fish traps
the annual registration, without registration of title,
is not a definite proof of ownership*
Government forms * During the year, 13,284 govern
ment forms, which are sold for 2 annas each, were
issued. No sanads or wakalas etc. are accepted by
the courts unless written on government forms. These
forms correspond somewhat to stamp duties but until
now the amount on the receipt or the sanad does not
affect the price of the form. It has been suggested
that, as in Muscat, the forms should bear revenue
stamps corresponding to the amount of money which
is involved.

- Extent and format
- 1 volume (344 folios)
- Arrangement
File is arranged in chronological order, from earliest at beginning of the file to most recent at end.
An index of the topics contained in the file is contained on folio 1B. The index uses page numbers that relate to the complete foliation sequence that is written in pencil, in the top right corner of each folio.
- Physical characteristics
Formerly a bound correspondence volume, the file's sheets have been unbound and are now loose.
There appear to be three incomplete foliation sequences and one complete foliation sequence. The first three sequences appear to reflect sequences assigned to files within the volume. The complete foliation sequence begins on the first folio with the number 1A. This is followed by 1B and then by two blank folios, which do not have numbers. The sequence resumes on 1C and continues through to 205, after which number the sequence jumps to number 214. This may be a foliating error, although another possibility is that folios with confidential information have been removed. The sequence continues from 214 through to 341 - the number given to the spine, which has been removed and placed in melinex. Letters are used elsewhere in the sequence: 3A and 3B; 141A and 141B; and 166A, 166B, 166C, which are housed in an envelope (166D) that is attached to folio 166D.
The complete foliation sequence is written in pencil, in the top right corner of each folio.
