place during these few days in connection
witn tne question of demand for reform in

Bahrain Courts of Law.
The people do not want that there
should be two Courts, senior and junior;
they want one Court only with five Judges
and one President. They also ask for the
dismissal of the Senior and Junior Court
clerks.

following words were found written with

Amongst their demand is an
increaee of the pay of the Policemen to
