Sir,
In amplification of my talerram HQ. 7^5 dated 12th
May lv21, I have tha honour to subrait t] 3 following report
about my proceedings at Ajraan. * Jt^-r

8, After the conclusion of / business at Sharn;ah,
described in my letter No, dated ISth May, I proceeded
in H.M.S. f, Oycla^len ,, accompanied by l, Orocus ,, to
Ajman arriving there about noon on tha 9th Hay, with the
object of remonstrating with or possibly punishing the
Shaikh of that place. Shaikh Humaid bin Abdul Aziz, for
hie misconduct.
In 1911 and 1913 this Shaikh was very troublesome
and obstinate and had to ba fined by Sir P, Cox, Again
in 1918 !!r. Bill was obliged to fine him^ and recently
he has been most obstinate and unreasonable.
When I was on the Trucial uoast last December my
t
attef£lon was drawn to the fact that Shaikh Humaid had recen
£
ly torn up a manumission certificate granted by tha
Kesidency in 1917, and had tried to ra-enslave the holder.
This of course is a grave offence, as if once our manu
mission certificates are disregarded and destroyed no slave
freed
