family of Bushehr and by dissensions among the members of that
family, were exerting themselves, not entirely without success, to
obtain direct administrative control of the town of Bushehr and its
dependencies.
In September 1826 the Shaikh of Bushehr was captured at sea by the
Sultan of/Oman, who kept him a prisoner at Masqat until May 1827 ; and
during the Shaikh's detention a conflict took place among the members of
his family for the Governorship of Bushehr. An accidental consequence
of this broil was an insult to the British Resident, who had attempted to
mediate among the Shaikh's relations. The

was withdrawn for
a short time from the town of Bushehrlto a'place in the neighbourhood ;
but, on reparation being promised by the Persian Governor of Fars, it was
immediately re-established; and in 1827 a Persian official was deputed by
the Shah from Tehran to inquire into and redress the grievances of the
British political representative.

of
Fars, was appointed Governor of Bushehr in supersession of the hereditary
Shaikh and called upon the Sultan of 'Oman, who had recently married his
sister, to help him in establishing his authority. In 1830 the Shaikh was
restored to his former position by the Persian Government, and Saijid
Sa'id had then to be restrained by the British authorities from affording
active assistance to Timur Mirza, who was apparently disposed to resist the
orders displacing him. In 1832, however, Kiza Quli Mirza, a brother
of Timur Mirza, was sent by his father to assume direct control of iBushehr;
and a naval demonstration subsequently made against the town by the
Qasimi Shaikh in the interests of the Shaikh of Bushehr was stultified by
the action of the British Resident, who compelled the

, by threats
of force, to withdraw. Early in 1833 the Persian princeling was obliged
to quit Bushehr by a rising against him, headed by one Jamal Khan of
Bushehr and the hereditary chiefs of Tangistan and Dashtistan ; but later
in the year, the insurrectionary combination having broken up, the royalists
repossessed themselves of the town without serious difficulty. The influence
of the British Resident was exerted, throughout this.contest, to prevent the
commission of excesses; and a practical appreciation of the value of British
support was shown by both sides,—by the Shaikh of Bushehr, who in 1828
made overtures for British protection, and by the Persian Governor of Fars,
who in 1832 advanced an absurd argument, with reference to the Qasimi
demonstration against Bushehr, that it was the duty of the British Govern
ment "under treaty with Persia" to protect the Persian Coast against
maritime attacks by whomsoever made.
