proceedings. A suggestion by Colonel Herbert that a Ghulam or
messenger of the British Legation should also be sent was not adopted
by Mr. Thomson, the Minister, who thought that the Persian Govern
ment's sense of responsibility might be weakened by his presence.
Meanwhile fresh recoveries of plunder were effected by Shaikh Jabir,
The movements of the Persian Muhassil were leisurely in the extreme;
and it seems doubtful whether he would ever, without British supervision,
hareached his destination at all. In November 1872 he was by an
accident discovered at Baghdad, where he was trifling away his time,
and was packed off to Basrah, arriving there on the 4th December. At
once on his arrival Mr. Robertson went in the " Comet " to Failiyeh
where he was joined by the Naqib and the Chalabi; and on the 16tli
the Comet" reached Umm-at-Tamair on the Karun, carrying
Mr. Robertson, the Chalabi, and the Muhassil. It was known by this
time that some of the criminals whose arrest was desired were at
Hawizeh, where the Prince Governor A Prince of the Royal line who also acted as Governor of a large Iranian province during the Qājār period (1794-1925). himself had arrived at tlie
beginning of November and had since remained ; others at Fallahiyeli;
and others at * Dar-al-Mulla, where they were protected by a certain
Mir 'Abdullah. The Muhassil and a Qawwas of Mr. Robertson then
proceeded to Hawizeh, where a list of the outlaws required was handed
by them to the Hashmat-ud-Dauleh ; and on the 24th December the
latter, with Prince Anushirvan Mirza and Shaikh Lufti, joined
Mr. Robertson on board the " Cometand were conveyed to Failiyehj
which was reached on the 26th. The next day a meeting was held at
which Mr. Robertson, Prince Anushirvan Mirza, the two Turkish
representatives, and Shaikh Jabir were present and interrogated Shaikh
Lufti, who had been ostensibly deposed from the Ka'ab Shaikhship and
placed under arrest; but the Prince Governor A Prince of the Royal line who also acted as Governor of a large Iranian province during the Qājār period (1794-1925). took no proceedings
pleading indisposition; and Mr. Robertson was constrained to report
that, though he made many fair promises, his attitude was really
obstructive.
On the 3rd January 1873 the pretence of Shaikh Lufti's deposition
was abandoned ; and arrangements were made by the Prince Governor A Prince of the Royal line who also acted as Governor of a large Iranian province during the Qājār period (1794-1925).
for arresting the offenders still at large, partly by Shaikh Lufti's instru
mentality. The Hasbmat-ud-Dauleh had now become very restless, and
he frequently begged for the loan of the Comet" to carry him to
Ahwaz ; Mr. Robertson, however, would not accede to his request, but
