Sir, ^ \
0 T T the loth Septemter last I received a telegram from
His iiajesty’s Consul at Bussorah stating that two tales oi
piece goods, destined for Koweit and overcarried to Bus
sorah in a British Indian steamer, had teen detained at
the custom-house on the ground that Howe it was a Tur kish
port and had no custom-house, and that, therefore, goods
must pay import duties at Bussorah. the “ irector oi Customs
at Bagdad was sa.id to te acting in this matter on the or—
ders of the Central Customs.
As it did not seem desirable to raise the question
of the status of Howe it for the sa.he of so apparently
small a matter,! instructed; Hr. Crow no endeavour to induce
the agent to obtain permission to reship the bales to
Bombay. ;(
I heard no more Of the matter and consequently as
sumed that it had been settled, but having observed from
your despatch TT o.0 of the 15th instant that the bales
of goods were destined for the Shr-i'c himself, and that he
evidently felt strongly on the subject, I telegraphed to
Ilr. Crow to inquire what had happened. Hr. Crow replied on
the 26th instant to the effect that the agent had failed
to induce the local Turkish authorities to allow the re
shipment of the goods, and that the matter had been re
ferred to the ~irector of Customs at Bagdad.
Had I known that the goods were consigned to Sheik
kubarek himself, I should have asked for your instructions
