Ports issued a notification to the effect that persons engaging in the
slave traffic would be punished, and the customs farmer was enjoined
to bring all cases of importation to the notice of the authorities.
In 1890 two slaves swam off to the British steamer a Calder at ^0-91,
Lingeh and claimed protection as British subjects from Aden. The
trade in slaves was now brisk at Charak and on Qais Island, at neither
of which places would the inhabitants suffer the Persian Deputy-
Governor of Lingeh to hold any investigation ; but an order prohibiting
the traffic was published by the Governor of the Gulf Ports at the request
of the British
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
. In 1891 there were reports of impor
tation of fresh slaves as Qishm, and an enquiry was held by the
Governor of the Gulf Ports, who eventually declared the statements to
be without foundation.
In 1896 an attempt made on the Persian coast to re-enslave a free- 1896.

belonging to the village of Suzeh on Qishm Island and
took refuge in the telegraph station, complaining that he had been sub
jected to ill-usage, and that attempts had been made to sell him at
Lingeh and on the coast of Trucial ^Oman. This slave was liberated ;
but no steps were taken, on account of technical difficulties, for adjudica
tion of the vessel from which he had escaped. One consequence of the
case was the extension to Hanjam of certain instructions, to be noticed
further on, which had been issued by the Government of India in 1885
regarding the treatment of fugitive slaves seeking refuge at British
telegraph stations on the Persian mainland; and notice was also drawn
to the fact that the registration, naming, and numbering of native vessels
were not qarried out at Persian ports in accordance with the terms of the
General Act of the Brussels Conference, and that crew and passenger
lists were not maintained on Persian vessels as required by the Act.
The attention of the Persian Government was directed by His Majesty^s
Legation to their neglect of these important provisions; and instructions
were issued from Tehran, but without any visible result, to the local
Persian officials in the Gulf. It was further suggested by Sir A.
Hardinge, the British Minister at Tehran, that steps might be taken to
obtain a transfer of the responsibility for enforcing the provisions in
question from the local governors to the Imperial Persian Customs ; and
M. Naus, the Persian Minister of Customs, privately signified his readi
ness to agree to such an arrangement; but the Government of India
deprecated the proposal on the ground that it would lead to indiscriminate
detention and search of all native vessels by the Customs, and it was not
proceeded with. It should be observed that the Persian Governor of the
Gulf Ports at this time raised a contention that the Brussels Act was
only applicable to African slaves.
In 1907 it was reported by the British Resident at Bushehr that 1907.
there were certainly in Shiraz, and probably throughout lars, large
numbers of slaves who must have been imported into Persia by sea since
