to, or ever wrote a syllable to, Mr, Price on the subject, as the merchants allege that
gentleman informed their constituentg; and in regard to what they allepe against
Mr. Price, he must be called upon to reply to it; when proper measures will be taken
to prevent all complaints of this kind in future by making sonae necessary regulations
in respect to freight ships in general. We cannot, however, close this subject without
remarking our surprize at the Agent and Council having referred the above petition
immediately to our Honourable Masters, as translations of this nature ought to be
submitted to us as their immediate superiors and through us to the Honourable
Company. Acting otherwise is directly contrary to their and our orders and the
general rules prescribed for advices to Europe.

became the principal British station in the Gulf, and it remained there
until after the close of the period. In 1 760, before this change occurred,

removed, and the sole

and received an allowance of Rs. 20 per month
for taking* charge of the accounts. In 1764 the entertaining of a
Latty Master, apparently a private customs officer, with a staff of
assistants, was sanctioned for the prevention of frauds ; but the Bombay
Government did not approve of a suggestion by Mr. Price, that a " latty

use it, as they feared that the building itself would be expensive to
construct and that future Mutasallims of Basrah might raise objections
to the system. In the following year the Agent and Council asked for
another Assistant to enable them to cope with the ordinary work. In
