with another letter from him. The Oman people are in the
habit of claiming their rights but not paying what they owe
to others. On the 24th, a suit filed by Oman people against
a lloobi diver was submitted before the Majlis-et-Tijarah.
A sum of Rs.1000/- was proved against the diver who is
working in the Oil Fields payable at Rs.6/- p.m. As these
people come to Bahrain and recover their rights, so 1 request
that my rights may be recovered from them for which I shall
