   .
                       oi the Bahrain Court a number of eases have arisen in which it was
                       found that Shaik E^sa had,in late years,sold plots of land twice over,
                       or 3old land belonging to others without their knowledge ,T1ig only fair
                       settlement in a number of casco has been for the State to compensate

                       one of the parties. The Deputy Ruler has settled a number of such
                        casco during the last year.It is considered probable tliath in connect-

                        cases  may come to light & it has be*, n thought prudent to allow a sum
                        for such purposes. The gaxKx property involved io generally not of
