In July 1903 Major Xewmareli's proposals, already i„ a ,

ig, that the income of the Bequest should be distributed under the sunerv' ' ^ (T
PolUical Resident to a oerl^in number of Mujtahids residing permanently at thX«
of Karbala and iVajaf, and that it is not a mere charitable grant for the ben .fit
the poor of those places. It is noticed with satisfaction that the distrib ^
Kadhimair has entirely ceased, as this diversion of a portion of the fids Tlf
Ecquest was i„co„ 8 i 8 t«,t with the declared policy of the 0„vcr„„ ie „t rf'mdi. „a
unjustifiable under the terms of the Bequest. The funds avail ihlo B ),.u r ,
Ke toibu.ed in equal »hare,, ,o far a 8 thi, can be effected without u",due hlrfHp

It was farther intimated to Major Newmarch "that the Government
■■of India appreciate the industry and thoroughness with which in
" face of considerable difficulties, you have treated this troublesome 'and
"complicated piece of work, and I am to oongratnlate you on the
" satisfactory results of your efforts/'
The basis of Major New march's scheme, and of the orders passed
thereon by the Government of India, was the corrupt bilingual text of
the Agreement of j 825, in which there was no indication of the purpose
Major Newmarch had modified his original views on this point.
