powers by which thej could legally dispose of the case, were Marwarid
to be brought before them. In the end it was decided by Her
Majesty's Government that the presence of Marwarid should be
required, with a view to an adjudication by the Eesident at Bushehr
in accordance with usage; and at the end of July 1876 a Ghulam
of the British Legation was despatched from Tehran to Kirman with
an order to the local authority to send Marwarid with his books and
vouchers to Bandar 'Abbas. In September Mr. Edwards, Second
Assistant Resident, arrived at Bandar 'Abbas, having been deputed by
Colonel Prideaux, the Acting Resident, to enquire into the case; but
Marwarid was not there, and Mr. Edwards learned, on proceeding to
Minab, that he was still at Kirman. It appeared that Marwarid
had taken refuge at the house of a Mujtahid named Haji Agha Alimad,
compelling the Governor to arrest him by a stratagem, whereupon
a mob of angry Muhammadans attacked the Hindu
caravanserai
A roadside inn providing accommodation for caravans (groups of travellers).
and
seized one of the inmates, whom they handled somewhat roughly and
detained until Marwarid was restored to the protection of the Mujtahid.
The Governor, whom the Hindus suspected of having been bribed, then
combined with the Mujtahid to represent the danger, in the excited state
of local Muhammadan feeling, of any attempt to send Marwarid to
Bandar Aobas, and to recommend instead a pecuniary settlement on the
spot; but the Ghulam refused to listen to these proposals as being
at variance with the orders of which he was the bearer. Energetic
representations were then made by Mr. Thomson at Tehran, iu conse
quence of which Marwarid was at last, on the 20th November 1876,
sent off to Bandar 'Abbas. It transpired that the procrastination
of the Persian Government in the matter proceeded not from any
inclination to deny the rightfulness of the British demand, in regard to
which the Persian Minister for Foreign Affairs himself wrote: " Tbe
British Legation has a distinct right to force and urge upon its subjects
to do justice/ but from a desire on the part of the Shah to favoui
Mai warid as much as possible, he being a recent convert to Islam, and to
afford time for a compromise at Kirman where the Mujtahid had started
a pfublic subscription on the man's behalf.
At the beginning of January 1877 Marwarid, with some of the
Hindu witnesses against him, arrived at Bushehr; and the facts elicited
made it necessary that he should be tried on a criminal charge- Under
orders from the Government of India Colonel Prideaux, the Resident,
conducted the trial at Bushehr; and on the 25th June he sentenced the
prisoner, who pleaded guilty to criminal breach of trust, to six months
