against Shaikh Thamir ; who promptly * returned and repossessed himself
of Fallahiyeh.
On the Bawiyeh soliciting his pardon, he invited their chief Shaikh to
his capital and there treacherously caused him to be shot dead, along with
another leading man ; while drinking coffee at an official reception. A new
Shaikh, ; Aqil ; was then placed by him over the Bawiyeh.
Probably not long after this, Mir Mahannar, the Shaikh of the Shari-
fat, rebelled against Shaikh Thamir; he defended himself for some months
in his fort at Deh Mulla in the Hindiyan district, but in the end had to
surrender and was deported to Fallahiyeh. A Shaikh named Mir Madh-
kur, a Saiyid, was installed in his place.
Shaikh Jabir of Muhammareh, to whom the destruction of that place
was a severer blow than it was to Shaikh Thamir, fled at first to Bushehr
and there endeavoured, but without success, to enlist the support of the
Persian Governor-General of Fars. Subsequently he returned quietly to
his ruined and dismantled town ; and not many years elapsed before
it was again in as flourishing a state as ever.
In 1839 Manuchehr Khan, better known as the Mo ; tamad-ud-Dauleh,
a Georgian of Christian parentage but reared as a Muhammadan slave,
was appointed by the Persian Government, probably under Russian influ
ence, to be Governor of Isfahan, Luristan, and ; Arabistan. This able but
tyrannical official, who, like Agha Muhammad Khan, the ferocious founder
of the Qajar dynasty, was a eunuch, soon made his authority
cruelly felt throughout the length and breadth of the provinces assigned
to him. His policy was clear and consistent; but bad faith was its
principal instrument, and he revelled in the invention and infliction of
appalling tortures. f C( He was beardless, had a smooth colourless face,
With hanging cheeks, and a weak, shrill, feminine voice. He was short,
stout and flabby, and his limbs were ungainly and slow of movement.
His features, which were of the Georgian type, had a wearied and listless
appearance, and were without expression or animation.^
