Deputy -Governorship of Biyaban was disputed between Mir Haji-bin-
Husain aad Mir Barkat-bin-^Abdun Nabi, the former of whom was at
tirst in possession. In October 1905 Mir Barkat, having visited the
Governor of the Gulf Ports at Bushehr^ procured the dismissal of Mir
Haji, whom he had temporarily ousted, in his own favour; but Mir Haji
at once appealed to the Persian Deputy-Governor of Bandar ^Abbas, who
was the Darya Baigi^s brother, and obtained his countenance. The two
kinsmen were then left to fight the matter out between themselves. Mir
Hajij when in charge of the district, had his seat at Sirik, Mir Barkat at
Namurdi. The family to which both Mirs belonged was that which
governed the adjoining district of Jashk in Persian Makran.

some date gardens which she left were kept as joint property by her
husband and by Salim, Ahmad, and Nasir, sons of Sultan, who were also
among her heirs and who were subjects of the Shaikh of Sharjah. The
date gardens continued in the possession of ^Abdul Qadir until the
recapture of Lingeh by the Persians in 1899, when he was put to death
the Darya Baigi on the charge of having been a confederate of
Shaikh Muhammadrbin-Khalifah. The date gardens, apparently on the
assumption that they belonged exclusively to ^Abdul Qadir, were at
the same time confiscated by the Governor of the Gulf Ports; and subse^
quently they were sold to the Mu^in-ut-Tujjar of Bushehr, whose influ
ence was then second to none in Southern Persia. A claim for the shares
to which they were entitled was lodged by the Sharjah heirs, and was
supported by the British Political authorities as representing, in his
foreign relations, the Shaikh of Sharjah; but up to the end of 1905 it
had not been admitted or satisfied.
