ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PERSIAN GULP POLITICAL
RESIDENCY
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
" Government affairs, preservation of order and peace, are entrusted to
my son Nusrat-ul-Mulk.
<£ Should any of the Government officials, citizens, and tribesmen act
against this notice he will render himself liable to severe punish
ment. "
Soon after the publication of the notice an " Adliyeh " (Court of Justice),
was formed in the town and the following persons were appointed mem'
bers ;—
(1) Saiyid Hassan—a Shushtari trader representing the Persian mer
chants,
(2) Haji Ob aid Darwish—a Bahrani trader representing the Arab
merchants.
(3) Heskil Dawood Habboob—a Jew representing the Jewish mer-
chants.
These three delegates worked under Shaikh Chasib until the end of
June when they submitted their resignations to the Shaikh, through Haji
Eais. The reasons for this, they explained, was that their presence in the
Adliyeh was anomalous as Shaikh Chasib decided all cases without any
reference to them. This matter was settled by Haji Eai^ who undertook
to make better arrangements, and the members withdrew their resignations.
About the beginning of February His Excellency the Shaikh appointed
his second son, Abdul Hamid Khan, Deputy Governor of Ahwaz, mce Shaikh
Sultan, son of the late Shaikh Hanzal. Shaikh Abdul Hamid Khan and his
staff left for Ahwaz to assume charge on the 12th February. Shaikh Sultan
on handing over the Deputy Governorship to Shaikh Abdul Oamid Khan
returned to Mohammerah. Shaikh Sultan is living in Mohammerah with his
mother and family, and His Excellency the Shaikh pays him a subsistence
allowance of tomai.s 200 a month.
In June, Shaikh Chasib appointed Shaikh Mehdi, son of the late Shaikh
Salim (Shaikh Chasib's cousin), " Mir Bahr " (Port Officer), of Mohammerah,
and advised the Consulate of the appointment by letter which stated that
" Shaikh Mehdi would be responsible if any pilferages took place in lighters
engaged through him." Shaikh Mehdi acted as Port Officer until the end of
the year, and performed his duties satisfactorily. The three hostages, Najaf
Quli Khan, son of Sartip Khan, Ghazban, son of Kazem Khan, and Gulam
Eeza Khan, son of Darab Khan, who were sent to Mohammerah in 1916,
were allowed to return to their respective homes. Imad Daftar, Dizfuli, who
was sent to Mohammerah in 1916 for his objectionable conduct, was allowed
to return to Dizful in May.
Muhnmmad Zaman of Shush tar and Quli Khan Shushtari were sent down
from Shushtar during the year to be kept under surveillance. Both are living
in the Shaikh's Palace.
Baqer Khan of Shushtar, who was sent down from Shushtar to Moham
merah, was sent to Basrah and thence to India.
News of the fall of Baghdad was received here on the 12th March. The
town was decorated by day and illuminated by night by order of His Excellency
tlie Shaikh. His Excellency the Shaikh celebrated the occasion by giving
two dinners; one to the officers of the British and Indian Convalescent Depots,
and the other to the European civil residents.

Eminent Order of the Indian Empire were delivered to His Excellency Shaikh
