< oue^ Iweedie was asked to report whether it had been instituted
under the direct.on of the Mnjtahid-Distributors or otherwise: in the
former case there were no grounds, the Government of India remarked'
for then- mtervent.on; in the latter there must have been some depar-
re fiom the orders of 1867, authority for which should be shown.
Colonel Tweedie in reply explained that, in raising the matter, he
had been actuated by a doubt whether the Mujtahid-Distributors
as arhala and ISajaf could be considered the proper recipients under
the Agreement of 1825; and he described how the separate Indian Fund
come mto exlste,lc e with the concurrence of the Mujtahid-Distribu
tors.
No further orders were passed on the case by the Government of
India.
Early in 1891 Colonel Tweedie, in view of the disinclination of the
Government of India to a change of system, made a fresh effort to
improve the working of the actual arrangements. At the time when he
took action the Karbala allotment under the Bequest had been paid to
the end of September, and the Najaf allotment to the end of October
1890. A good basis of distribution existed at Karbala in the shape of
the list of payees drawn up in September 1889; but the nominal roll at
Najaf had not been scrutinised or verified for some years. It was
known that at Najaf the Mujtahid-Distributor had been borrowing
funds on the strength of his connection with the Bequest; and, both there
and at Karbala, persons accustomed to benefit by the distributions had
begun to raise money on the security of the future payments which
they expected to receive.
