TRANSLATED from the Arabic
(know) that when the Chief OF Police to me last

was IL Ahuy and informed me OF what hadhappened in the
Police Court, IN the beating Of Fais sur, tho Syrian
and Of your having wished 10 inprison him. in which
the Chief OF Police would not consent but said that
yon should get him at liberty and allow him to 60 to his
house, aud when afterwards there came letter 10 mo
from the Europeans OF Dsiat informing OF the ama
and panic created by the ansolcnce nf the Mslims to
wards the Christians account Of their religion, and
stating TINT all this had resulted from your treatment OF
Farri IL the court adding that he haa since been
into prison; and, having received letter from you stat
ing wha. Faris lad DONE and how he had reved the
Hgoh ct ISLAM and that lac had been beaten IN the court
On reading the aforementioned letters and having
heard the verbal report Of tho chief Of Police ordered
my agent % u the prison by night and release the said
Fairs then came and demanded an audience with yon
and these concerned in the AFFAIR On your arrival and
when statement OF the demanded Of you, the
tad replied ard what hc said confirmed the report of the
European gentleman to the tumult and panic the
town for he tha Cadi stated that that was about to

Now It was wrong and improper To do what you did
without judgment bavpg been ercn} For the origin Of

and as she has been married to suslim and had by
him daughter the was referred The law in your
quarter that You might attend TO it, give your decision
theretpon and forward II to The your govern
ment
Therefore what was done by tho advice Of those who
were in tho court wrong. For though ii ad-
mted at said Faris said what improper against r.
lgion IL was not lawful for you permit him be beat
en- or imprisoned by force but yonr duty TO write
Inc Of what he had done and then, with the cognzncs
of the government, that would have been done 18th him
which The law and rules demand. You should not have
beaten him, nor permitted any to harm him, it is
evident 10 all both learned and common people that such
outrage cpon any one is unlawful and improper.
You, however, took him with mob OF common people
TO the Chief Of Police that he might be imprsoned and
when he would not consent to imprson HIM, but request
cd yon to set him at liberty and let him 10 his house,
and Then left presence, you did do So but took
him second time "a the court beating and nsuitdg him
all the way and then put him in prison in this state
he Farsi testfcs in his paper (where he also states
that al that was done TO him originated with Ayyonb
Kash, yourselves, and others who present the
court.
Now, cannot understand why these assem-
bed in the court seeing that tey had ot6ng 10 do in
the affairs Of the court why you followed their

exciting Of the subjects OF the government against each
other. 1t was specially improper in men like Ayyoub Ka.

such nm ala look worry suspicious as Is also said in the
letter OF Faris. is my duty to ask you the Of
this, that you may clearly explain to me. that may
understand for the future what may be necessary.
