With reference to your letter-Mo. 10,753, of the 12th March last,
1 am directed by the Secretary of State for India lo forward, for the

Teleerram from ditto, dated oUtn July j. x t i* j • 4.
h ment of India desire that provision
should be made for the deportation
and registration of foreigners.
As regards the former, it seems clear that it cannot be effected by
executive order; and while it is no doubt desirable on general grounds
to provide for it in the Order in Council, the Marquess of Crewe is
inclined to agree with Sir P. Cox that it is inexpedient to ask the Sheikh
for a specilic delegation of powers for that purpose.
His Lordship is not aware of the reasons for which your department
pieferred to limit the registration of non-Bahreinese to British subjects,
and, unless there is strong objection on international grounds, he would
suggest that it should be compulsory on all persons to whom the Order
will apply.
I am, &c..

No. 35,018. Foreign Office,

I am directed by Secretary Sir Edward Grey to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 16th instant relative to the proposed Order
in Council for Bahrein.
Sir E. Grey notes that the Marquess of Crewe does not support the
recommendation of the Government of India that provision should be
made in the Order for the deportation o f foreigners , and this point will
accordingly not be deafiTwitTi in THe'present letter!
As regards the extension to foreigners of the registration provisions
of the Order, which is also desired by the Government of India and
advocated by Lord Crewe, I am to state that the reasons which led Sir
E. Grey to suggest the limitation of these provuaQns in the case of non-
Bahreineae to British subjects wereTfirst/fhat registration is irksome,
and it seemed better not to subject foreigners who are not British to an
unnecessarily vexatious regime until British jurisdiction had become
firmly established ; and, second, that it is desirable that Foreign
Jurisdiction Orders in Council should be kept uniform as far as is
reasonably possible, and that the registration provisions of the usual
