are not now being molested^ The new Rais Sejil Ihwal (chief
registration officer) is advising them not to state that they
were force J. to register but the Bahreinis so advised do not
appear to be paying much attention to him.
k list of the Bahreinis who were forcibly registered is
attached#

A copy of a petition from Haji Hamid is attached.
I am personally quite satisfied that the only reason for
his expulsion was that by his action he prevented the 3ah-
rsinis from becoming Persian^ subjects, and I do not for one
moment believe that he was engaged in any political intrigue.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obe ient servant.
