persian gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. political kesidency, 1922
tliis attitude he was probably counting on tbe support of Mir Barkat, and there
is little doubt that he was encouraged if not instigated, to do so, by Yamin-ul
Mamalik, the Karguzar of Bushire. Yamin-ul Mamalik took Mirza Ahmad
to Minab in the Persian Sloop <e Persepolis " and after some delay Zair
Abdullah Khan left for Biyaban and Mirza Ahmad Khan Was installed. It
is said that Zair Abdullah Khan received the sum for which he had stipulated.
Mirza Ahmad Khan was young and inexperienced, and appears to be well
meaning, and not unfriendly, but weak.
During the later part of the year Qaid Muhammad Ali was busy trying
to secure permanent appointment and did not show the pro^British partisan
ship which had characterized his Governorship in 1920.
Karguzarate.
Bunder Abbas. —Hisam-ul-Vazareh held office until visit of Yamin ul
Mamalik, Karguzar of Bushire to Bunder Abbas, early in May when he was
superseded by 8adid-ul-Saltanah and transferred to Lingah.
Hisam-ul-Vazareh was always outwardly friendly and his dealings with
the Consulate were few.
Sadid-ul-Saltanah has not b6en a success as Karguzar. His handling of
British cases has left much to be desired and he gives passports to all who
pay enough for them, without any regard to the requests of the Consulate. He
drinks very heavily and is often not in a condition to attend to his work.
Ling ah. —Mirza Khalil, the Finance Agent acted as Karguzar in addition
to his other duties until he was relieved % Hisam ul Vazareh.
Both have given the utmost trouble to the Consular Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. in the matter
of Passports, refusing to allow subjects of Bahrein, Oman and Muscat to travel
with Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. Passes on the ground that Bahrein is Persian territory and that
travellers claiming to be Oman and Muscat subjects are really Persian
subjects.
Einakce Department.
Bunder Abbas. —Mirza Abbas Khan continued to hold office throughout
the year, but was seriously ill on two occasions—on the second of which he
nearly died of Enteric fever.
Lingah. —Mirza Khalil remained in office throughout the year. Com
plaints of his extortions have been frequent, and he has taken less trouble to
conceal his anti-British propensities than formerly, levying irregular taxes
from British subjects and disregarding all protests. His private life i&
dissolute in the extreme.
Mimb. —Mirza Sadiq Khan remained in office throughout the year. He
is openly anti-British and did not call on His Majesty's Consul when he visited
Minab in March.
He has allied himself with Mir Barkat for the sake of combined plunder
and mutual profits. He has given the collection of various taxes into the
hands of Mir Barkat's nominees.
Customs.
Bunder Abbas. —M. Graux, the Director of Customs, proceeded on leave to
Belgium on 16th April and returned on 4th November 1922, During his
absence M. Ibrahim Eaffo officiated as Director of Customs.
M. Graux has always been extremely friendly and most helpful, and M.
Haffo maintained the same attitude. The latter incurred the enmity of the
Deputy Governor at the time of Muharram and largely as a result of this was
transferred on the return of M. Graux.
Lingah. —Mirza Muhammad Ali was relieved by Mr. M. J. Perro on the
7th March, but again officiated from 30th April to 28th May while Mr. Eerro
proceeded on leave to India.
The relations between this Department and the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. continue to be
excellent.
