The figures (I), (II) and (III) opposite some of the names indicate
that the individuals so marked bad been classed by Majoi Newmarch as
Mujtahids of the first^ second, and third rank respectively. The appear
ance of other names in the list is due to the fact that many of the
persons regarded by Major Newmarch as the only genuine Mujtahids
decline! to accept allowances from the Bequest, some from religious
scruples, some on account of the annoyance from beggars to which they
would become exposed; and some because they had already all the money
that they required; partly, also, it may be due to the appearance of new
Mujtahids between 190^ and 1906. The most prominent of all the
Mujtahids, before bis death in 1904, was Mubammad-al-Garawi-asb-
Sharbiyani of Najaf, who politely declined to receive an allowance from
the Bequest on the ground that be bad no need of one.
The town of Shusbtar in Northern 'Arabistan is the seat .of two The Mujta-
Mujtahid families of great local importance. The chief Mujtabid of
Shushtar in 1905 was Haji Saiyid 'Abdus Samad, a large landowner^
whose attitude towards the British Government was then friendly ; he
had two sons, Haji Agha Mubammad Ja'far and Haji Ahmad. The
former of these was a middle-aged man, who bad a considerable part in
the management of his father's affairs, and who, though be did not
seek intercourse wiib Europeans, was civil to those whom he met. The
second family was that of Shaikh Mubammad 'Ali, who died in 1904/
leaving three sons, Muhammad Jawad, Muhammad Karim and Murtaza,
and a sister's son named Saiyid ■'Abdullah. These all enjoyed the title
of Agha Shaikh ; and of the three Muhammad Jawad was the most
influential, while the youngest, Murtaza, aged 21 in 1905, was open-
minded and interested in foreigners, knew some English, had visited
Bombay and Moulmein—at both of which places the^ family owned
property—and was popular in the town. The internal affaiis of Shushtai,
