oiaima war* la fact falsa or aza^aratad, the defendant .
^h^vh« had only to appear and take the oath In order
to escape liability. Ihe Nejd uovemaont cannot
therefore auy^sat that It acted from the fear that tke
Tribunal alfeht be deeelred by falae evidence. At the
Ma* an Tribunal the He ja deletes attempted to adopt a
similar attitude, as appears from tele^jran No. 20lAi of
29.7.1926 froB the Hith Comiiaaionor to the British
Adsnt, Jedda, and, in isy opinion, the only conolaaion to
be dram la that the Nejd uoTemnent neror had ary
intention of allowing the claims of the Trans- Jordan
tribes to be considered, still less to be satisfied.
On the other hand the Trana-Jordan uoTernnent
ami its delefeatea appeared to be actuated by a desire to
do what was ri^ht. it waa, perhaps, technically in
error not to hare t^ven notice of its clains to the
Mejd uovemnent, but one can underetand that it may veil
hare felt that it would be useless to do so havinb
regard to the fact mentioned by the Chief British
RepreaentatiTe that the first claim made was rudely
dlHoissed as fictitious and to the result, that followed
whan toe claims were finally presented.
1 do not think that any real charge of delay
can be liaputea to the Trans-Jordan ueTernoent, at all
events so far aa the prooeedinba oi this Tribunal txa
conoemed. The minutes show that the nunerous and
lengthy adjournments were almost all at the request of
the Hejd delegates and were due to their unwillir^naaa
or inability to agree to any decision without express
authority.

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.
