Imamzadeh and Ispahan. It would appear that on December 30th
a certain Riza Khan with some 40 to 70 sowars had fired into a
diligence and wounded a woman and a girl midway between Tarq
and Nizamabad and had robbed the other occupants of the diligence.
These men had also been holding up caravans and carrying off animals.
295. We arrived at Murchikhurt at 10 p.m. and the driver refused to go farther.
The post from Ispahan also spent the night there. One of the sowars of Naib Hus
sain came with us from Imamzadeh to Tarq and the Sartip of Murchikhurt supplied
us with guards from his village to near Gaz.”
296. The Tehran post of December 25th arrived 31st reported that they met
six Saiyids going to Tehran in a diligence: they had been robbed of all they possessed
by 6 sowars. The same sowars also enquired of the post if they had any money
and hearing they had not, the post was allowed to proceed. His Majesty’s Consul-
General understands that these robbers must have been the followers of Riza Khan
Jouzani. On the 2nd January Muxtaza Kuli Khan sent out some 12 sowars and on
the 3rd 10 more in pursuit of these robbers.
297. Twenty camels with loads are reported to have been carried off by Riza
Khan near Murchikhurt on 3rd January.
