1883. As an instance of the working of the subsidy system^ it may be
mentioned that the allowance of Mir Hoti^ chief of Gaih, for the first
half-year of 1883 was placed in deposit instead of being paid to him,
because he had taken no steps to punish Musa, a telegraph line guard
and subject of his who had absconded with Rs. 636 belonging to the
Government of India^ most of which remained unrecovered ; and
because he had failed to pay up Rs. 144 due on account of camels, etc.,
stolen from line guards in his district. The chief was at first told that
he must punish Musa and recover the balance of the missing property
before any of the subsidy in deposit was paid him ; but subsequently
as he represented that the Persian authorities were pressing him for
money, the Resident agreed that he might be given Rs. 1,000 out of
the instalment due, the remainder (Rs. 500) only being withheld until
he had procured or given satisfaction.
1888. An attempt was made in 1888 by the Persian Governor of Bampurto
divert one of the local telegraph subsidies to his own coffers. Having
dismissed

Husain Khan from the chief ship of Gaih, he in May
informed the British authorities of the fact and of the appointment,
instead of Husain Khan, of Saiyid Muhammad, heir to the chief ship of
Gaih, and of Mir Mauladad, chief of Qasrkand, as revenue collectors. A
request was added that the balance of the Gaih subsidy due might be sent
him through Saiyid Muhammad. This claim was the more unsustainable
that the Persian Government already received, under the Convention
of 1868, a payment of 3,000 Tumans a year on account of the Makran
telegraph; and Colonel Ross, the Resident in the Persian Government,
held strongly that the subsidy must be paid to the local chief direct, not
to the Persian Governor, the only question being who should be consider
ed the local chief. The Resident, after ascertaining that Saiyi
Muhammad had in fact been recognised as chief of Gaih by the Persian
authorities, directed that the Gaih subsidy should be paid to him.
1894. In tlie same manner, in 1894, on an intimation that Mir Hoti had
been appointed chief of Jashk in place of Mir ^Abdun Nabi, the subsi y
which had been held by the latter was transferred to his successor.
