(Major Arthur Trevor). These include: the institution of a joint court and native court, the persecution of Shia citizens by the Sunni-dominated judicial system, and a system of British protection that could be extended to Bahrainis facing persecution. Pearl diving reforms are also touched upon, with a description of how pearl divers are paid in the industry in Ceylon [Sri Lanka]. Later correspondence (1924) between Daly and the new Political Resident A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency. (Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Prideaux) relates to the drawing up of judicial codes for Bahrain, with the help of existing codes from Sudan and Iraq, which already exist in English and Arabic.

A request from Shaikh Ḥamad bin ‘Īsá Āl Khalīfah for the institution of a subsidiary court to hear cases involving financial claims of less than fifty rupees Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf. , is approved by the Political Resident A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency. (folios 14-17, 22). A letter from the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. (Major Cyril Barrett) to the Advisor to the Government of Bahrain (Charles Belgrave), dated 14 May 1927, raises concerns over Sheikh Hamad's intention to appoint three Sunni Qazis [Qadis] to sit at the court at Muharraq, citing the extra time and costs involved (folio 20). A Bahrain State letter, from Shaikh Ḥamad to the Deputy Governor of Bahrain, dated 21 Dhul-Qadah 1345 [23 May 1927] confirms the Deputy Governor's appointment to the Sharah court, for a monthly wage of one-hundred rupees Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
