1843 must have been present, exerted their influence with the chief of the
insurgents so effectually that he agreed to evacuate the town and remove
to Hillah, provided that his personal safety was guaranteed and that he
and his followers were allowed to carry their arms and property with
them. This arrangement was apparently carried out, but not without an

gave the following account
to Major Rawlinsonat Baghdad : "that .... the Turkish officer who had
" conducted the previous negotiations had judged it necessary to
^arrest other parties in Nejjef who had not withdrawn; that the follow-
^ ers of these parties attempted a rescue ; that the townspeople then rose;
" that street fighting was maintained for 24 hours with considerable
-loss on either side; that there was of course a good deal of pillage and
"destruction of property; but that ultimately the Arab combatants were
" driven out of the place, and that the authorities were now employed

"which had been plundered/ 7 Major Rawlinson was disposed to think,
however, that the whole matter was pre-arranged, that the chiefs were
first enticed away, and that the townspeople, when off their guard and
relying on the capitulation, were surprised by the Turkish troops. He
believed, nevertheless, that no great damage had occurred.
