There was therefore no reason for a complaint
of the company against Hassan Samaih on
the (jround of action contrary to agreement
or duty.
This point has been discussed under the two
preceding heads.
VI.
There was accordingly no ground for action on
the part of Sheikh Sagar against Hassan
Samaih for the protection of the other
partners. Moreover, the seat of the company
is at Ling ah, and the partners of the com
pany are not subjects of the Sheikh of
Shargeh, so that he has no jurisdiction in
matters concerning the relations of the
partners with each other. In any case, he
coidd not exercise such jurisdiction himself,
hut should have had the dispute settled hy the
judge.
Although it is hardly accurate to say that
Sheikh Sagar took action against Hassan, it has
been shown that there was abundant ground for
his action when appealed to on behalf of the
partners whose wishes and instructions had been
disregarded, and who had been deceived, by their
associate Hassan.
It has been already pointed out that it has
never been contended by His Majesty s Govern
ment (or, as is admitted on p. 15 of the Second
German Memorandum, by Sheikh Sagar) that the
sheikh's action in cancelling the concession was
intended to be that of a judge deciding the
rights of the partners as between themselves; it
was an act which in his sovereign capacity he was
entitled to do, and no doubt one of his objects
was to release the complaining partners from the
position in which they found themselves owing to
the "unauthorised action of Hassan. This being
so, the arguments adduced in the Second German
Memorandum to show that the sheikh was not
the proper tribunal to adjust the rights of the
partners are beside the mark. It is only neces
sary to remark that, as far as the cancellation
of the concession was concerned, the sheikh was
the only person who could act.
