services with 30 or 40 of his sowars were secured by the Shaikh or Muhammerah

of the other provinces dealt with in this report) in the Majlis i Shura i Milli.
The only place where the matter has come up for debate, as far as reports go,

a predominant position in the regulation of Municipal affairs.
The chief leader Shaikh Muhammad Hussain, Hujjat ul Islam, Mujtahid, and
his son Shaikh Muhammad Baqir, have maintained unbroken cordial relations,

Shaikh Murtaza called on the Vice-Consul at Nasiri and expressed gratitude
