, where he
remained in sanctuary until arrangements had been made for his proceed
ing to Tehran for an investigation into his conduct. In the end he was
dismissed, his place being taken by Najaf Quli Khan, an individual of
little experience and less standing.
At the end of 1859 or beginning of 1860 Commander Felix Jones,
the British Kesident at Bushehr, offered H. R. H. the Hisam-ud-
Dauleh, Governor-General of Ears, the assistance of a British naval
squadron for repressing serious disorders which had broken out along the
Persian Coast and threatened to extend to the interior with evil results
to trade and the peace of the country; but in vain. The Persian
Government, to whom the offer was perhaps renewed through the
British Minister at Tehran, evinced no inclination to accept it; and
Sir H. Kawlinson thought that, as the proceedings of the Russians at
Ashurada in the Caspian had rendered them suspicious of foreign tenders
of naval aid, the proposal should not be pressed on them but might be
left to be recommended by the Hisam-ud-Danleh himself, when
experience should have convinced him of its eligibility. In this view
the
Government of Bombay
From c. 1668-1858, the East India Company’s administration in the city of Bombay [Mumbai] and western India. From 1858-1947, a subdivision of the British Raj. It was responsible for British relations with the Gulf and Red Sea regions.
concurred.
In 1862 some trouble arose through wilful acts of trespass on the British
burial ground at Bushehr, committed by Persians, who even brought a
part of it under cultivation. Some damage was done also to the
enclosure wall. After the matter had been referred to Tehran a fine
was inflicted on one of the offenders; and, a paid watchman having been
engaged, complaints ceased. It does not seem, however, that action
was taken on recommendations by Colonel Pelly, the Acting Resident,
that a grant of the land covered by the cemetery should be obtained
from the Persian Government and that compensation should be paid to
Aghai, the owner of the ground.
In 1870, a famine impending and Bushehr being at the time without
a Pernor, popular demonstrations took place there against the
exportation of grain by British subjects. The Persian Government
als o ^nested the British Minister at Tehran to use his influence to
restrain British firms from sending grain out of the country. Colonel
My, the Resident at Bushehr, was able to arrange that the grain then
ln w arehouses of British merchants, mostly wheat, should be
a nded over to the Persian local authorities; but at first there was no
Persian official on the spot who would take charge of it, and for a
^onth it was sold to the people at a low price through the British
