of KallDa regarding the murder hy the Sharqiyin of
Ahdullah hin Khamis Naq.'bij Amir of Daqta. I wrote to
Shaikh Hamad hin Ahdullah about this irregular action
committed by his men towards Shaikh Said’s man. A reply
has been received from Shaikh Hamad to the effect that
Abdullah bin Khamis the murdered man was your friend,
that you have communicated to him on the subject and that
it was arranged to meet at the village Khat for the
settlement of this case. Will you therefore explain
as to whether the murdered man, Abdullah, was your friend
or was he Shaikh Said bin Hamad's subject. I request
you to intimate to me the fact.

Letter dated 2nd Safar 1347 (20-7-28) from Shaikh
Sultan bin Salim, Chief of Has ul Khaimah, to the
Residency Agent, Shargah.
A.C.
I received your letter and noted contents. You
mentioned that a letter was received from Shaikh Said bin
Hamad regarding the murder of Abdullah bin Khamis, Amir of
Daq.ta, by the Sharqiiyin, the followers of Hamad bin
Abdullah Alsharqi. Yes, the said man had been a Naqbi,
a tribesman of Shaikh Said bin Hamad, but I had appointed
him as Amir of Laqta on my behalf because Daqta is my
dependency and not that of Shaikh Said. When this
incident occurred I wrote to Hamad bin Abdullah about
what necessary for him to be cleared of the guijt in
the usual manner and he replied ”what is necessary for
him to be cleared of the guilt" hence the case was kept
pending. But the murder and transgression concern the
Naqbiyin and Shaikh Said also is under your own and that
of Government.
