2. The recent meeting at Dhuid between ohaikh Khalid bin
Ahmad, Regent of Kalba and Shaikh Muhammad bin ’Ali of the Bani
Qitab tribe brought pressure to bear upon Shaikh Sultan bin Saqr
about the allowance due to the first. On 20th Shaikh Sultan bin
Saqr sent his brother to request the Shaikh of Ajman and uhe
She ikh of Um al Qf iwain to mediate. The above t*o Shaiichs agreed
to mediate provided Shaikh Sultan abided by their decision. They
were then joined by Shaikh sultan bin Salim and arranged a meeting
between Shaikhs Khalid c>nd Sultan bin Saqr in Ajman. On 24th
the Shaikhs of Urn al !^aiwain,Ajman and Has al Khaimah sent for
Shaikh Sultan bin Seqr and Shaikh Khalid and heard their case in
the Shaikh of Ajr.ian’s Fort. They found Shaikh Sultan bin Saqr to
be in fault but requested shaikh Khalid to forego part of the
amount due to him on account of arears. The case was decided as
follows and the parties agreed to abide by it:-
(a) Shaikh Sultan bin Saqr to pay Rs.1000/- in
settlement of Rs.1650/- due to Shaikh Khalid and
his brother ’Abdullah, and to rn^ke regular payments
in accordance with terms of the agreement*
