A ttitude.—The attitude of the local officials has on the whole been
better towards this Consulate, with the notable exception of Sheikh Hassan
Amm-i-Diwan, and at Mmab the prompt and conciliatory manner in which
Kerbelai Mahomed Hassan used to settle cases is much missed. Moreover
the authority of Sheikh Hassan in Minab appears to be of the slenderest
description. Petty cases of thefts, debts and settlements of accounts, in
the town when the debtors have not considered the sum sufficiently W to
warrant their absconding, have, as a rule, been promptly settled The older
and larger claims however continue to be evaded in the time-honoured way

In outlying villages small raids were not unfrequent, and the bolder
and more impecunious spirits in the neighbourhood found that the absence

latter s inability to exact retribution gave them as many opportunities for
en.jcmng themselves at the expense of their neighbours as they desired.
