With reference to your despatch Ho 24rl of February
19th last concerning the claims of one Turki bin Brahimhn
Hamadil Agayli f I have the honour to inform you that re -
searches in the records of this ojfice and enquiries in
stituted amongst the Indian Community in Bangkok have been
productive of little or no enlightenment. The statement
made by the Petitioner is too meagre and lacking in detail,
to enable me to identify the actual land claimed or the
personality of Ali Bhai % T gather moreover from the petition
that Turki bin Brahim was not a person enpitled to British

protection and was not registered^during his visit to this
country, Tior does it appear that his jather was so register- ’
In view of these circumstances I am compelled to report
that I have been able to ascertain practically nothing
likely to be of service to him in recovering the alleged
estate of his deceased father % That there is some founda-
-tion in fact Jor the petitioner's statements appears to
be clear from the concluding paragraph of a report-copy
of which I have the honour to enclose- made to me by an
official attached to His Britannic Majesty's Court here.
The gist of tie paragraph in question coincides with the
concluding paragraph of Turki bin Brahim's petition but
owing to the lapse of time and lack oj detail it seems
impossible to proceed further,
The only method of pursuing this claim which would
offer the slightest prospect of success would be for the
claimant himself to come to Bangkok and here identify both
the land and the so called All Bhai and to enter an action
for recovery against the lc.tter or anyoiie in possession
of the land Such action woula have to be taken in the
Court of the nationality of the party sued, but unless the
strongest proofs were forthcoming I fear that the jallure
of the claimant to press his claims for so many years woula
seriously
