Your telegram No. S.—243. I strongly advise equipment of Political
Agent at Bahrain with powers of Notary Public either by the terms of tho
Ordor in Council itself or by separato notification pursuant to it. British
8ulijcdts~ahd Eurdpcair foraignors' aro si’eadilylncrcasing in numbers, and it
(both) has proved in tho past, and continues to he a great iuconvcuicnco to
them that, whereas they cannot havo Consular officers of their own to perform
notarial functions for them either final or provisional, yet tho British Gov­
ernment provides none. Such common requirements as the attestation of
signatures to certificates of fact, &o., aro constantly required.
