1412. There have been repeated rumours of robberies on the Bandar Abbas
road, but they have not as yet been authenticated. That there have been robber
bands in the offing is tolerably certain.
1413. With reference to paragraph 1231. The case of the Eastern Bug and
Trading Company versus Agha Muhammad Designer was eventually settled
to the satisfaction of both parties and the terms of the settlement were duly attest
ed by the Karguzar. J
1414. Ou'ithe recommendation of His Majesty's Consul, His Majesty’s Minister
has withdrawn British protection from the branch of the American firm
and Company, in Kerman.
This step has been taken on account of the knavery and misconduct of the
Company s Kerman Agent—a Greco-Turk, Pandelie Josephides. Repeated com
plaints against this man had failed to evoke any action from the Company.
1415. Mr. Bruggmann made a tour of inspection to Rawar and other villages
He returned on October 12th.
1 t 16 ‘-n TIireecliargesofviolence ’ or assault > were brought against Mr Brugg-
mann by Persian subjects and referred to His Majesty’s Consul by the Karguzar
the ca,rpet designers, who considered their community specially insulted, went on
strike in a body, which brought the other carpet firms into the field. His Majesty’s
Consul investigated the cases and induced the designers of the other firms to return
to work.
No settlement could, however, be arrived at/thcugh Mr. Bruggmann admitted
one charge, and m part another. His Majesty’s Consul referred the cases back to
the Karguzan, where a meeting was held on the 24th instant. As the Amir had
resigned ’ and declined to send a representative, the Karguzar argued that a
competent court could not be convened. The evidence was again gone through
however, and further efforts made to obtain a settlement by mutual consent’
It is believed that some progress has been made towards this desirable end and for
the meantime the parties have ceased from besetting the Consulate.
1417. Meanwhile a new charge has been brought against Mr. Bruggmann bv
the agent of the Eastern Bug and Trading Company, who has produced native
evidence that Mr. Bruggmann while on tour forcibly insisted on inspecting carpets
which were being woven for the Eastern Bug and Trading Company. This is a
very senous breach of local custom. Mr. Bruggmann has repudiated the charge
and there the matter at present rests. As no reliable evidence will be obtainable’
it will probably be necessary to advise the parties to refer to their principles who
may be able to come to some understanding among themselves. ^
In view of his general behaviour there is every probability that the Eastern
Bug and Trading Company s charges are well founded.
