(Paragraph 112)
Letter dated April 16, 1934, from the Ruler of Bahrain to the Political Agent,
Bahrain
With reference to our conversations with you and the Honourable the Political
Resident regarding the purchase of certain lands in Muharraq, Jufair and
Qudhaibiyah (i.e., Manamah area) of the Bahrain Islands for the use of the British
Government.
I inform you that whole matter is now completed and send to you herewith
four title deeds of the ownership of the said lands, which have been duly registered
in the Bahrain Government Land Department, and they bear my seal which shows
that I have approved of the purchase of aforesaid lands by the British Government.
Those persons who owned property within the areas have been compensated by
us by money and land.
2. Further, I agree that the British Government may have the use of the
foreshore adjacent to the aforesaid lands and may construct a pier and any other
work, provided that if any of the fish traps which are owned by our subjects are
affected the British Government will pay compensation to the owners. Also I
give my assurance that no permission will be given to any one to construct any
building on the shore or the land adjacent to the aforesaid land which might spoil
the land belonging to the British Government without previous agreement between
us and the British Government.
3. I am glad to be of assistance to the British Government, and I welcome
this opportunity of being of help to His Majesty King George of England who is
our friend and whose ancestors have been the friends of my ancestors since the
Khalifah have ruled over Bahrain Islands. I always pray for his long life and
prosperity and I hope that in the future I may have the opportunity of again
presenting myself before His Majesty in England.
