On the day that I saw you in last August, I
called at the office of Mr. Khunji’s lawyers at
the time that had been arranged.
by a young man who informed me that he wa ®, ia ® t ™ cted
to discuss the matter of tne ice plant with me on
behalf of the firm. He appeared to know about the
case and had some letters and notes on the subject.
After some conversation, I told him that in
order to close the matter finally and to prevent
its causing further trouble to various people and
Government departments we were willing to settle
as follows.
1. H. E. Shaikn Hamad will waive his claim
for half the ground and half the building which
contained the machine.
2. The Municipality will pay to Mr. Khunji
jjo t A&n/— whi is one h.8.if of tbe profits from tne
year when both machines were used by the Mmicipality
•d We will not demand any examination of old
accounts- all this on the condition that the dispute
shall b®*considered to be finally closed, neither
party after this settlement having any claim against
bhe other party.
Mr. Khunii’s representative made a note of t ne
conversation and assured me that he would communicate
inimpdiatelv with his principal who was in Paris.
Hold him that I was leaving England m a few days

About this item
- Content
This file contains papers relating to a legal dispute between Yusuf Lutfally Khunji and Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the ruler of Bahrain. The case concerns a joint venture between the aforementioned parties to set up and operate an ice-making plant in Bahrain at a spring owned by Mr. Khunji in 1922. Following the expiration of a five year monopoly on the manufacture and sale of ice in Bahrain, the two parties fell into a dispute on the plant.
The majority of the papers consist of legal correspondence between Mr Khunji's lawyers in Manchester and either the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. in Bahrain or the Financial Advisor to the Ruler of Bahrain, Charles Dalrymple Belgrave. Of note, however, are letters of intervention by the Foreign Minister of Iran through the Persian Legation in London, protesting the treatment of a Persian subject in British protected territory.
