that could be assigned for the deed was that he feared the consequences
of disclosures which he had made to the Resident concerning some of the
men in the detachment, and thought to anticipate revenge. From the

The guaid as a \Ahole appearing untrustworthy on account of these
occurrences, and the death of the Qawwases having caused am on ^ the
Afghans of Baghdad a ferment that greatly alarmed the Turkish autho
rities and was only allayed by the influence of the Naqib, Major New-
march handed over 1-2 men of the guard suspected of complicity in the
murder of the Jamadar, as also Lance-Naik 'Abdul Karim, to the Turkish
authories for temporary custody j the remainder he confined to their own

arrived from India under the command of Captain Fisher.
In the case of the Jamadar^s murder no evidence could be obtained
warranting the commitment of any person for trial. The most plausible
theory, on the few facts ascertained, was that the victim had been

'Abdullah and another Afghan named Akram, possibly with the assist
ance of a boatman named 'Abbas who was a Turkish subject.
The circumstances of the murders committed by Lance-Naik 'Abdur
Karim were investigated by Major Newmarch;and the accused was
tried at Baghdad on the 19th April by Mr. G. B. Piggott, the Judge of
His Britannic Majesty's Supreme Consular Court in the Ottoman Domi
nions, who travelled from Constantinople for the purpose. This was the
procedure approved by the Government of India, to whom His Britannic
Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople had recommended that the case
should be disposed of either by the Supreme Consular Court, or by the
High Court of Bombay, or by an Indian Court-Martial. The result of
