tlnse simple codes ,the o jint court can apply the more -fetailed Indian

The ofe ilcs'^overnm^t would have such books printed in ^rabic a

of Justic«-th«y will doubtless neSd aplification later on whan
^ the Governmnet & inhabitants have progressed.but the main thing to ^im

codes as simply as possible 4 with a view to their covering all the
types of suits as cases which normally occur in Bahrain. After ore paring
t-em in English for approval ( giving rafarencas to show rrom wnenca
