I r r as brought up in the house of my master

grovn up at his house -nd he ^as very courteous to me during
my childhood. Lately his financial position became very
poor and he sent me to work for others. I used to bring all
my earnings to him. Three months ago, I could not earn
anything as I had no work, but he blamed me of hiding th r
money. He wanted to beat me, but some of his friends who
T "ere sitting at his Majlis at that time, stopped him. I
escaped on foot to Dubai via Batinah. From Dubai I boarded
a launch as a member of the crew and came to Bahrain five
days ago. I request I may be favoured with a Manumission
Certificate.
