protest which the Turkish Wali of Basrah made^ through the Persian
Consul -General at that place, on the ground that some of the vessels
searched were bound for Basrah and not for aoy Persian port. The
removal to Bushehr, for trial, of an absconding cashier of the Muham-
mareh Customs house who had been extradited from British India on a
warrant issued by the Shaikh, was resented by the latter as an infringe
ment of his criminal jurisdiction ; and he successfully resisted an
attempt made in October 1904 to charge " office dues ^ at Muhammareh
on shipments of dates, which he regarded as a breach of the under
taking that exportation of fruit should be free.
It remains to notice the other valuable concessions obtained by Haji
Rais ; the Shaikh's agent, on his visit to Tehran in 1902.
The first of these was a Farman, promised in June or July 1902 but
not issued until January 1903, by which the Shah granted, "as per
petual property, to the
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.

and Karun districts on which "the Arabs and the tribes and tribesmen

conferred, moreover^ " all the lands which are barren and without date
palms and trees until now, as perpetual property, so that he may give
them to his tribe and tribesmen, who should grow date palms and trees
thereon and do what is necessary for rendering the place populous/'' It
was added that the Persian Government should have no right to resume
any of the lands conferred on the Shaikh, unless by way of expropriation
at a reasonable price, and that the Shaikh and his subjects should not be
entitled to alienate the lands granted to them, or immoveable property
situated thereon^ to subjects of foreign Powers. It was at first the
intention of the Persian Government to reserve to themselves the lands as
yet unoccupied and unreclaimed, but they ultimately consented to waive
that point.
Before the issue of this Farman the Shaikhs tenure of his ancestral
domains was, at least in theory, precarious. The Bakhtiyari Khans had
bought the Ramuz district from the Persian Government about 1896,
