Nusrat and other landowners have lately been complaining re the
encroachments of Zargham-us-Saltaneh in this district, which have been going

has come to an understanding with

a
present of 1,000 Tumans was given to Zargham by His Majesty's Consul.
The Zargham is too independent a Deputy Governor to please the Governor-
General and the latter is consequently making frequent complaints against
the Zargham to His Majesty's Consul, the chief of which is inability to recover
full revenue. On this point, negotiations are still in progress and a satisfac--
tory result is hoped for.
