for twenty years or more; his removal, as will be seen hereafter, was not
unconnected with representations made by the British Legation at Tehran^
His immediate successor was one Wali Khan, but in the spring of 1883
Sartip Sulaiman Khao, a Persian, was in power at Bampur. Later in
1883 or possibly in 1884, Sartip Ibrahim Khan was reinstated in the
Governorship ; and immediately, from all the districts under his charge,
reports began to be received of distress and of emigration on a large
scale to Masqat, India, and elsewhere. He died, however, in May 1884,
and his death was quickly followed by a general return of the emigrants
to their homes.
In 1887 a certain ^Abdul Fat-h Khan was appointed Governor of 1887-89,
Bampur. His rule was distinguished by unparalleled atrocities, of many
of which his brother Mohsin Khan was the instrument. In 1889^ the
Shah being then absent in Europe, the exasperation of the Baluch tribes
had been raised to such a pitch by his conduct, that most of the chiefs
rebelled and besieged him in a fort near Bampur. Having been cap
tured by them he was deposed by order of the Regent, the Amin-ul-
Mulk, on information supplied by the British Legation, and was tem
porarily a prisoner at Kirman. The insurgent chiefs, whom the local
British authorities had done their best to restrain by friendly advice,
remained for a time in possession of Bampur.
The next Governor of Bampur was a certain Zain-ul-^Abidin Khan, 1890 -97
who seems to have had a hand in the fall of Abdul Fat-h Khan, and who
retained his position until 1897.

the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of Kirman to that of the
Governor of the Gulf Ports; but the exact time of the transfer is un
certain. Previously to this, in 1884, Biyaban seems to have been
detached temporarily from the Jashk chiefdom, in which perhaps it was
usually included, and conferred on one Saiyid Nasim.
