Complaint against the BENI M alik tribe on the coast under the administration
of P ath A li K han, Begler Begi of Laristan.
Case of A li bin D arwish, a subject of the Chief of Bahrein.
£21• In April ^^93 Ah bin Dsrwish, a Bahrein subject, went in his ship
from Bahrein to Tibbin on the Laristan coast, and, after taking a considerable
cargo there, started to return to Bahrein in the middle of May. But he was
caught in a storm, forced to put back to shore, and eventually his vessel was
stranded off the village of Bisatin.
Here it was plundered by the Bini Malik tribe, who carried off cargo and
gear to the value of nearly 5,000 krans (=R. 2,000). Bisatin is said to be a
village of the district of Gaobandi under Shaik Hasan bin Shaikh Mazkur,
and subordinate to Path Ali Khan, Begler Begi of Laristan. The complaint of
Ali bin Darwish was forwarded to the
Residency

by the Chief of Bahrein.
521. On the 13th July 1893 the Officiating Resident (Major Sadler) repre
sented the case to the Nizam-es-Sultaneh, Governor-General of Pars, and
requested that prompt measures might be taken to punish the robbers, recover
the property plundered, and compensate the owners.
In the same letter mention was made of the earlier Tibbin case of Esa bin
Hamada against the Beni Malik. So far as correspondence between the Resi
dent and the Nizam-es-Sultaneh is concerned, the further history of this case
will be found in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the note on the Tibbin case.
522. On the 12th July 1893 the Officiating Resident also telegraphed as
follows to Her Britannic Majesty's Minister at Tehran with special reference to
the case of Ali bin Darwish :—
Another case occurred. Bahrein boat attacked after stranding in jurisdiction of
Governor of Lar by Beni Malik. Property stolen valued nearly 5,000 krans. I request
that Governor-General of Pars may be directed to take prompt measures in matter. He has
been addressed by me.
In consequence, it would seem, of this telegram, and the representations of Her
Britannic Majesty's Minister, the Sadr Azam telegraphed to the Saad-ul-Mulk, Governor
of Fars and of the ports on the coasts, directing him to act in conjunction with the
Resident for the restoration of the goods plundered by the Bani Malik from a wrecked
British India vessel."
523. On the 17th July 1892 the Saad-ul-Mulk replied to the Sadr Azam in
a telegram of which the translation is as follows:—
" I have received Your Excellency's telegram regarding the wreck of a British beat
about which a representation was made to Your Excellency. As however the particular
port where the accident took place was not mentioned, I telegraphed the original
telegram to Haji Mirza Abdulla Khan, Karguzar of Bushire, and in conformity with Your
Excellency's orders urged upon him the necessity of having the goods plundered from
the boat restored with the cognizance of the

if they belong to British subjects.
I have also asked him to report the circumstances of the case for Your Excellency's
information."

Cass of S ultan bin K asim al H owli of Bahrein.
524. Early In September last a vessel belonging to Sultan bin Kasim al
Howli went from Bahrein to the Persian coast for trading purposes. Owing to
bad weather the vessel had to put into the port of Bistano. While the vessel
was at anchor there on the 7th September 1893, it was boarded and captured
by one Khalfan bin Ahmed Khalfan, a dependent of the Chief of Asalu (near
Naband), who is a subordinate and deputy of Path Ali Khan, Begler Begi of
Laristan. The robbers carried off the boat, which is valued at 3,000 krans, to
Asalu, and also property in it valued at Rs. 850.
525. The owner of the boat at once complained to the Chief of Bahrein, who
forwarded the complaint to the Resident. On the 21st October the British
Agent at Shiraz was requested to bring the case to the notice of the Governor-
General of Pars with a view to obtaining redress; and the British Agent
