that he should ultimately retain charge of it, if he pleased ; but during
Mr. Price's visit his powers as Agent were to be in abeyance, an
opportunity, however, being afforded him at Basrah of disproving the
charges brought against him by Mr. Shaw. Mr. Douglas, who was
senior in standing to Mr. Price, preferred not to go to Basrah on these
terms; and, after withdrawing the Bandar 'Abbas establishment ind
sending most of the stock to Basrah, he returned to India without
meeting his successor. The result of Mr. Price's inquiry was to show
that Messrs. Shaw and Garden, though they had disobeyed orders, had
not been guilty of any dishonesty, and that Haji Yusuf was really
indebted to Mr. Shaw to the extent of 11,674 Tumans; and for this
amount Mr. Price succeeded in obtaining an a obligation " from the
Haji.
Hereupon the Bombay Government, in January 1764, held that
Messrs. Shaw and Garden were still answerable to the Company for a
balance of 11,807 Tumans, which had been struck on the 24th of March
1702; ordered Mr. Shaw to Bombay, where, with a seat in Council
•" conformable to his standing " he was to await the decision of the Court
of Directors; and cancelled the suspension of Mr. Garden, but refused to
appoint him to the post of Second at Basrah, for which he had apparently
been recommended by Mr. Price. Mr. Shaw, however, did not see
fit to comply with these lenient orders, and instead betook himself to
Aleppo, w hcio he remained for some time without even informing the
Directors in London of his presence there; and the Court, in November
1764, on becoming aware of this further circumstance, ordered him to be
dismissed from the Company's service, while at the same time they insisted
on Mr. Garden's being immediately recalled from Basrah to India.
