Copy of a latter No,327 dated.2^nd July f929 from the
British A-;ent, rj-adur, to the Director, Persian ftulf Tele, raph
in Political charge, } r ekran CoaVt, Karachi.
I have the honour to refer to my D*T. of ^ords 96, dated
the 10th April 19. r 9 and to the Political Agent and H.B.F's
Consul, Huscat'p B.T. of ^ords 52, dated the 11th'April 1929,
addressed to you and repeated to me.- and to report that the
Muscat igency Suh Ass-is tant Surgeon, examined the rounds of the
t w o Baloochi -omen namely Shadriah the "'ife of the accused
i ^ \ * ■ : SffJ m-
Isa and "^atima, as -"ell as the finger " r ound of the so far
alleged murderer of Khoja* Kemji viz. Isa, in my presence, but I

above named three '**ounded persons to Muscat '"here he "'ould

Agency Surgeon and then report his medical opinion to the
Political Afent and H.B.M'f- Consul, Muscat. Accordingly he

murderer lea is still in the fort custody at Muscat.
The Chief C^adhi of Muscat vho '"as deputed by the Muscat
Government to enquire into the B-^adur riots said, on his

State for examining the various —ounds, reporting as to the
nature of wounds and then fixing the.suitable SHAHI fines on
the man "'ho caused the '-rounds on the "-ounded, according to
the prevalent custom of the Arabs in the Muscat State. It is
true that the native '"ay of settling .the w o.und disputes
amongst Bedouins of Arabia and the'Baloochis of Hekran is,
even in these days, to refer such '"ounds to the local ^adhi
"'ho after judging the nature of the "'ound fix some suitable
