Monday 2nd July

Fort, very few men. Spent almost the whole day in the Agency court listening to the tyre case. The two
accused showed no intelligence, the Canadian never opened his mouth, Mennick, the principal in the case
asked a few questions but not much to the point. Khalifah did nothing except nearly go to sleep. There were
a lot of people in court. It adjourned at about 2 & reopened after lunch. Later I went up to the Fort & looked
over the furniture for the British Police who are to be quartered there. Hot evening & had no time to bathe.
Wilby went to hospital in the afternoon & will be in there about 10 days for an op. He seemed fairly bright
but does not look well. Didnt go to the Bn court. Saw Wafir in the morning.
