Bunder Mushir-ul-Ulum has held office throughout the year. He
is a very quiet individual, but reputed to be anti-British. At the end of the
year he posted a notice in town, which he had received from Bushire, to the
effect that all cases between Persian and Foreign subjects should be 'referred
to the Karguzar and not as formerly, to the Deputy Governor. He did not
inform the latter or His Majesty's representative before puttino- un this
notice and no attention has been paid to it.
Sayed Hussain, Hisam-us-Sadat, arrived to open the nost of
Karguzar on the 27th July, the duties of Karguzar having been discharged bv
the Deputy Governor since 1914. ^

it has received the same degree of attention. He is one of the most active
enemies ot the peputy Governor, his previous record is "democratic" and
anti-British, and his attitude since his arrival in Lingah bears this out.

year, but took bast in the Consulate on 24th February on account of his
alleged persecution by the Finance Agent at Bushire. At the beginning of

to be up for auction and fell to Mirza Ghulam Hussain Khan, an emplovee of
me Customs, who assumed charge on the 1st March.

former to the latter and the former was called to Bushire, being relieved bv

Abbas Khan has been on bad terms with the Deputy Governor since his
arnva!, one of the main points of difference being the queslion of the nay-
ment of the Governor's staff. Mirza Abbas Khan is a very plausible individual
but strongly democratic and anti-British. a '
