A single note in the file (f 25) makes reference to a decision by Shaikh Isa [‘Īsá bin ‘Alī Āl Khalīfah] (r.1869-1932) to dismiss a cargo agent at Bahrain. The note is undated and not related to the rest of file’s contents. The note is likely of an earlier date than that indicated in the file’s date range, and has presumably been included in the file in error.
