1945

Sunday 24th March

After dinner went to a boxing show at the RAF, ten fights, several local men boxing & altogether a very good
show which I much enjoyed. Bradley of the Police boxed with a tough Canadian, the latter was disqualified
for two fouls which caused an unseemly commotion from Bapco audience.

Monday 25th March

Court all the morning not very interesting cases, several boys who we beat & dismissed.

Tuesday 26th March

Fort. Shaikhs as usual, undiluted Zubara as a result of a reply to a letter to Packer which HH unwisely made
me write, HH very sour. Sh Mohd arrived from Egypt - timing his return with the oil payment though he has
already drawn his share. HH left rather early saying he had been up & about so early meeting Sh M &
therefore attended to none of the things on his agenda.
