Statement of llahicoom bin Baroot.
' U ^
In lv.43 Hejxra I and xn^f twenty four followers were
hired by Sham Sultan bin Sa.r of Sharjah to aid him
in enciUng Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmad from the town of
Sharjaiu The operation was successful, but I have
never had a settlement of my just dues. I appealed
Isa bin Abdul Latif the late Residency Agent, Sharjah
without success. I appealed to Seyed Abdur Razzak the
present Residency Agent without success as he told me
he could not take any action without my bringing a
letter from the Consul* I am by birth an Omani being
a free servant of the Bani Kharoos* I have been
resident in Dubai since 1342 of Hejira. In 1354 I
brought letters from the Imam of Oman to Shailch Sultan
bin Saqr but he tore them up and I received no redress*
In tfuharram this year I brought letters from the Imam
of Oman to the Wali of Musam^ah who sent me to his
master the Sultan* The Sultan gave me a letter to
Shaikh Sultan bin Saqr and I returned to Dubai and got
Shaikh Said bin Maktoom send the letter to Sharjah for
me* No reply was received from the Shaikh of Sharjah
to the Sultans letter and I returned here and he sent
me to you.
