ihe elections for the new majlis which began at the
end of 1350 were completed early in 1351 and the new
Majlis held its first meeting after Muharam. As usual
the department was embarassed by the incessant quarrels
among the various antagonistic factions of the Shias.
Towards the end of the year a Katifi mullah of Bahrani
origin organised a public attack on the Tir skf department and
produced a number of public petitions, of doubtful authen
ticity, asking that the majlis should be dismissed and
that the government itself should deal m th all Shia wakfs.
The agitation was undoubtedly encouraged by one of the Shia
Kadis, Shaikh Ali bin Hasson, partly under the misguided
impression that such a request would be pleasing to the
government. Many of the genuine signatories to the peti
tions were persons who were in debt to the department and
who probably believed that by upsetting the majlis they
would escape their liabilities. A proclamation was
issued by the government stating that no change in the
administration would be considered until all the outstanding
rents had been recovered. It was hoped that as all the
members were elected by the public themaelves such inci

against a majlis which consists entirely of their own people.
