General Remarks.~{1) It is daily becoming more difficult for the Resi-
dency Agent, Shargah, to control efficiently the affairs of his very extensive
charge. The remedy would appear to lie in the appointment of a Politi-
:Agent gent f ° T ^ TrUCial C ° aSfc 0r at lea!St an Assistant to the 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.
( 2 ). Persian Government and Trucial Several cases came to
the notice of the Political Resident A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency. , where the Persian authorities charged
inhabitants of Dibai, the fee of “Persian Tazkerah” on their landing at
Persian Ports. The same applied also to subjects of Kuwait and Muscat.
Persian Officials have from time to time attempted to visit Dibai. For
-Instance in November, the Persian Inspector of Customs Bandar Abbas
en route to Bushire went across to Dibai, and tried into’ the port on the
plea that his launch required repairs. The Shaikh of Dibai however
understanding the real object, ordered him to leave at once and he com
plied.
The Henjam incident and the subsequent flight of .the Ruler of Heniam
to Khassab on the Arab mainland, caused the greatest excitement along
the Trucial Coast A name used by Britain from the nineteenth century to 1971 to refer to the present-day United Arab Emirates. , more especially among the Bani Yas elements who stretch
from Dibai to Qatar.
The Shaikh of Henjam’s sister is own mother to the Ruler of Dibai and
yery great efforts were made to get the whole Bani Yas confederation to
assist actively and forcibly recover Henjam for the exiled Sheikh.
The Shaikh of Dibai kept his head, however, and the situation was
ably controlled by the 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. Agent, Shargah, assisted by the shins of
the Royal Navy. ^ r

Ruler of Bahrein and Al-Khalifa Family. —The attitude of Shaikh
Isa towards 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. has been friendly. He was particularly
gratified by the assistance given in procuring the cancellation of the orders
which prohibited the return to Bahrein of his nephews Ibrahim and Sulai-
man the sons of the late Shaikh Khalid. The relations between the Ruler
,and the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. may now be considered as satisfactory as the old Shaikh
has tacitly accepted his position. The usual official calls between the Ruler
and the Officers of the Indian Government were exchanged.
