Bushehr; and m 1875 he made a tour in his districts to collect the
revenue due to Government.
On the Princess resignation Bushehr was entrusted to Sartip ^Abdul
Husam Khan; but his administration was unsuccessful and of short
duration. The Sartip's place was presently taken by one Husain Quli
Khan, who at once proceeded to collect the outstanding revenue with the
help of a force of infantry and artillery; but in the summer of 1876, he
having left for Shlraz, the Government devolved on unworthy or incom
petent substitutes; and during the months of June and July crime was
nfem the town and environs of Bushehr,—a state of matters"largely due
to the presence of a considerable body of Persian troops whose pay was
m arrears. Some of the Persian soldiers, on measures being taken
against them, sought refuge under the flag staff of the Turkish
Consulate.
On the supersession of the Mo'tamad-ul-Mulk by the Mo'tamad-ud-
Dauleh His Royal Highness ^Awais Mirza, the Ihtisham-ud-DauIeli,
was appointed Governor of Bushehr by his father.
The Piince was much oc.upied by the affairs of other tracts, includ
ing Behbehan, for which he was responsible ; and this prevented his
devoting much personal attention to Biishehf; but it was his practice,
during his father s and his own very effective administration of Ears, to
make an annual tour of inspection through the southern districts of the
province. Early in 1877^ accompanied by a formidable body of non
local troops, he spent about two months at Bushehr, which he again
visited in February 1878. He generally maintained a Deputy Governor
in the town, at first Haji Ismail Khan and afterwards igta
Muhammad Baqir Khan, the latter of whom vacated office along
with his patron on the appointment of the Zill-us-Sultan to Pars in
1881.
In 1877 there died at Bushehr Agha Muhammad ; Ali, the Malik-ut-
Tujjar or officially recognised head merchant of the place. He was
reputed the richest private individual in Persia; and his estate, as lie had
no children, passed to his elder brother, Haji Baba, a naturalised British
Indian subject residing at Bushehr.
The customs of Bushehr were not invariably leased to the Governor of
Bushehr, and in 1878-79 they had been granted to the Nasir-ul-Mulk
of Shiraz, a brother of the elder Qavvam-ul-Mulk and the Sahib Divan,
notwithstanding that a royal prince was then Governor of the town and
its districts.
