at Bushire outside the town
of Bushire without a guard, and that the Persian authorities were kept ignorant
of the number and men who composed his followers and attendants. As to the
second complaint Mr. Ronald Thomson informed His Highness that if it referred
to a list of British subjects and proteges, no such information had hitherto been
given to the Persian authorities and it would not be convenient to do so. [It
might be noted that this refusal was contrary to the orders of the Home Govern
ment referred to above.]
433-A. As regards the guard the Resident pointed out that Zil-es-Sultan
must have been mis-informed, as an ample guard of mounted men and native
infantry was always stationed at Sabzabad when the Resident lived there (Resi
dent's letter dated 30th ]une 1883).
(Ixx) Complaint of the Persian Government against the alleged grant by the Bombay
Government of passports to Persians from Lingah after a short residence in India,
1899.
434. In November 1899 the Persian Government complained to Sir
Mortimer Durand against grant of pass-

Persians from Lingah after a month's residence, namely—
(1) Abdulla Haji Mahammad Kasim.
(2) Mahammad Abdulla Abbas.
(3) Ibrahim Mahammad Abdulla.
434-A. The Bombay Government, who were asked to report, forwarded to
the Government of India collections of papers detailing the circumstances under
which certificates of naturalization and in two cases passports were granted to
the following residents of Lingah, whose names resembled those mentioned by
the Persian Government—
(1) Abdulla bin Mahammad Kasim.
( 2 ) Haji Mahammad Abdulla Abbas, Bastakee.
(3) Haji Ibrahim bin Haji Mahammad Abdul Vahid.
It appears from the papers that the first of these was granted a certificate
of naturalization in 1892 after it was reported that he had been residing in
Bombay on and off for a period of 24 years. He was subsequently granted a
passport in May 1894 as a naturalized British subject. The 2nd individual was
naturalized after a continuous residence of 12 years in Bombay. He was granted
a passport as a naturalized British subject in May 1899. The 3rd individual was
granted a certificate of naturalization in 1892 on a report from the Commis
sioner of Police to the effect that they had been residing in Bombay off and on
for a period of years.
