opposed by the plaintiffs in the suit at Calcutta. Eventually, in 1891,
a compromise was arranged between the parties, under which two-thirds
of the whole estate was assigned to the next-of-kin and one-third to the
native trustees under the will. There was breach of faith, and
consequent delay, in carrying out the agreement ; but at length, by the
end of May, 189G, all claims had been adjusted. Some, if not all, of
the shares of the next-of-kin were* purchased from them by Agha
Muhammad, the British Agent at Kadhimain, in his own name, but,
as it became known at his death in 1903, out of trust funds. Among
the items which he thus acquired was the British (Old)

The judgment of the court of first instance in India, passed on the
26th October 1876 in favour of Kulsum Nisa Begam, was affirmed on
appeal ; and by April 1878 her original adversary, Ramzan J Ali Khan,
was dead ; but, as Ramzan ^Ali Khan left a son named Saiyid Ahmad
Husain, and the possibility of an appeal to the Privy Council still
remained, neither the pension of

lasted nntil 1879.
Meanwhile Kulsum Nisa Begam proceeded to raise loans at Baghdad

to advise Kulsum Nisa Begam to proceed to India, and to do what he
could to prevent her incurring debts or contracting an imprudent
marriage. In May 1879 Kulsum Nisa Begam announced her intention
of marrying her first cousin, Saiyid 'Askar Hussain, to whom she had
long been betrothed, and of remaining permanently in Turkish ^Iraq.
The Government of India, who seem to have regarded her in the light
of a ward, consented ; and the marriage took place on the 5th June
1879.
