(2) lo attribute the whole of the Bequest among the Mujtahids on this list,
either m equal shares or in such proportion as may hereafter be
determined,
(3) To stop the distribution at Kadhimain,
(4) To take no official cognisance of any distribution other than that (already in
dicated) among the Mujtahids.
While admitting the great difficulty of determining who was a
JVfujtahid and who was not, Major Newmarch recommended that
Mujtahids for the purposes of the Bequest should be chosen by^the
Resident, whose selection should be final. Another possible course was
to leave the nomination of Mujtahids to vacant allowances under the
Bequest to the Mujtahids themselves; but this, he apprehended, would
result in the formation of a Persian clique and the total exclusion of
Indian and Arab Mujtahids. At a later time he suggested that nomina
tions to vacant allowances should be made by the actual holders of
allowances, but should be subject to the approval of the Resident.
Colonel Newmarch thought that ultimately all Mujtahid beneficiaries
under the Bequest should receive allowances of equal amount, and that
the number of Mujtahid recipients at Karbala should be not less than
ten, and the same at Najaf, to prevent the concentration of excessively
large amounts in the hands of individuals.
Meanwhile, in anticipation of the sanction of the Government of Further
India, Major Newmarch proceeded to carry out the policy which he Majo? 8 ^
recommei ded in regard to Mujtahids. After collecting information with Newmarch,
reference to the theological and other qualifications of all who pretended to 1902 03 *
Ijtihad at the Holy Cities, he offered shares under the Bequest to those
of the best repute; and these were accepted by a number of very
respectable Mujtahids, though not by any of the highest standing.
By May 1903 the separate distribution to Indians had been abolished,
even at Kadhimain, and the Mujtahids shown below were regularly
receiving the monthly Bequest allowances shown opposite their names :
