Slr:-
With reference to my Despatch No.126 of Way

21st I have the honour to transmit copy of a Despatch

from His Majesty's consul General at Buehlre report­

ing the arrest, confiscation and sale by the Persian

! Customs authorities of a dhow owned and commanded by
!
! subjects of the Sheikh of Bahrein.

This case adds another to the ll6t I have had

the honour to report In the last few months where

Bahrelnese have received Improper or harsh treatment

at the hands of the Persian authorities, and In which

no satisfaction has been obtainable from those auth­
orities.

I have not yet received the amended note prom­
ised to me by Mushlr-ed-Dowleh In place of that ad­

dressed to me by Hlo Excellency on April 9th last.
In view of the recent internal crisis it has been

impossible
