On the 15th Jemadee-ool-Awul the Prince Zill-oos-Sultan was summoned
to Teheran by orders of the Shah.
The Zil-oos-Sultan returned to Shiraz from Kadyou.
On the day of arrival the servants of the Zil-oos-Sultan, under instructions
from His Royal Highness, were uncourteous to the persons who went to his
Istikhan, viz., the son of the Wullee, Mahomed Khan, the Chief Artillery Officer,
Musheer-ool-Moolk and Nusser Khan, especially towards Mahomed Khan and
the Artillery Officer, whom they insulted, and maltreated their servants.
After arrival in the city the attendants of the Zill-oos-Sultan were very
unruly in the streets and bazars, and insulted the inhabitants and workmen
and beat the servants and the officers in the service of the Wullee, and it was
feared there would he an uproar in the city.
The Wullee telegraphed these proceedings to Teheran, and the Zill-oos-Sultan
was summoned to the Telegraph office. After some telegraphic messages, Ali
Abhass Beg, the Perash Kelwat of the Shah, who is Mohnssil for receiving the
instalment of revenue, was ordered to send this Prince to Teheran and prevent
his servants from misbehaving. This order was carried out. The Zill-oos-Sultan
was paid his salary in full by the Wullee and His Royal Highness left for
Teheran with 50 or 60 persons.
The "Wullee has executed sundry thieves; two of these were those who
robbed General Goldsmid at Kooshkizar and were made to return the property
they had stolen.
Hajee Ahmed Khan, Governor of Bunder Abbass, arrived at Shiraz; some
days after his arrival he was again nominated Governor of Bunder Abbass and
received his khillut as such.

son of the Wullee, has been sent as Deputy Governor of Koh-Gelooyee. The
