Went over to Muharraq to see the site of the roundabout for traffic on the Muharraq causeway. Took
Mohd Saleh & met the Mhq Secretary, a very slow stupid fellow.
Monday 8th December
Fort.
Court. Lipp came down to see me so I left court early but he didnt seem to have much to say.
Dull cases, one liquor & one would-be defamation of character but we didnt accept it as it seemed covered
by one of the exceptions.
Library after tea.
Dinner at Snows, quite a party, Thomas & Lipp & the Agars and Jackson. Bridge. Icy cold night , violent
shamaal.
Wednesday 10th December
Fort.
Very cold weather, strong shamaal, temperature unusually low for the season.
Sh Abdel Latif came to call, complaining about not being able to build on a piece of land under electric line.
Steele re bridge, we seem to need a large staff to control it, too many in my opinion.
