About this item
- Content
The volume consists of letters (in English and Arabic), telegrams, and memoranda relating to relations between Ibn Sa'ud, the Hejaz, and Trans-Jordan. The majority of the correspondence is between the Political Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. in Bushire, the Political Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. in Bahrain, the Political Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. in Kuwait, the High Commissioner in Baghdad, the Colonial and Foreign Offices, both in London, the High Commissioner in Jerusalem, the British Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. in Jeddah, the Chief British Representative in Amman, the Government of India, and Ibn Sa'ud.
The majority of the papers concern the definition of borders between Ibn Sa'ud's territories (the Najd and later the Hejaz) and Trans-Jordan, most specifically the status of the Jauf [al-Jawf] area and the towns of Kaf [Kāf], Akaba [Aqaba], and Maan [Ma'an], and to a lesser extent, Iraq. Reports on tribal raids and counter-raids are also included, particularly those between the Bani Sakhr and the Ikhwan. The latter's raid just south of Amman in August 1924, and the British military response, is prominent. Details of the Hadda Tribunals, which were set up to settle such disputes, are also given. The question of where ex-King Hussein should settle after his departure from the Hijaz is also discussed.
Transcripts from Parliamentary Questions on these subjects are also included (folios 178-185). At the back of the volume is a broadside announcing the Shaw Commission, following the 1929 Palestine Riots.
