Main
In 1873-74 there were various occurrences on the Persian Coast Miscellaneous
which affected British subjects and necessitated official remonstrances
claims for redress. In January 1873 pilgrims created a disturbance
at Bandar 'Abbas, obliging the British Mail Agent to fly for safety,
upon which the gun boat " Hugh Rose' 1 was sent to the spot, with
satisfactory results, and orders were obtained from the Persian Govern
ment for the careful protection of British subjects by the local Persian
officials. A somewhat similar fracas took place at Lingeh; but there
the Shaikh protected the Mail Agent and repressed the unruliness of
the pilgrims. Near Bushehr a British naval officer was wounded and
robbed by a gang of brigands, but the Persian Governor, " notwith
standing many sincere efforts/', was unable to bring the offenders to
justice. In March 1874 a British barque went ashore on the island
of Shaikh Shu'aib and became a wreck. The presence on the spot of

at Lingeh soon arrived to assist the captain and to arrange terms of
salvage with the Shaikh of Kan gun.
A case of not less political than legal and commercial interest was Case of _
that of Marwarid, a Hindu trader at Kirman, who was associated in
business with Mul Chand^ a Hindu merchant at Bandar 'Abbas. At 1873-77.
the beginning of 1873 this man, after defrauding his partner and
another Hindu British subject, turned Muhammadan and assumed the
name of Mirza 'Ali Akbar, his idea being to attract Persian support and
so escape from British justice.
At the instance of the British Legation instructions on the case were
sent by the Shah's Government to the Persian Governor of Kirman;
but they resulted only in proceedings which afforded no prospect of
real redress. At length in 1875, in consequence of representations
made by one of the Hindu plaintiffs, the British Minister again
addressed the Persian Government and obtained from them an order
directed to the Governor of Kirman under which Marwarid was to be
sent to Bandar 'Abbas in order that his accounts might be examined
there^ at a meeting of Hindus and others, with the cognisance of the
Persian Karguzar, and a settlement arranged and reported to the
Persian Government. Mr. Thomson, however, perceived two serious
difficulties: in the first place the case, as it lay entirely among British
objects, was one in which the Persian authorities had no right, according
^ r eaty, to intervene; and, secondly, he understood that neither he
himself as Minister nor the Resident in the
