- Title:
- ‘Persian Gulf. Exportation of Mules & Asses from Bushire’
- Scope & Content:
-
The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence and minutes cited in, or enclosed with, extracts from a Bombay [Mumbai] Political Consultation, 25 June 1845. The papers contained in this item are partial enclosures to a Political Letter sent from the Government of Bombay to the East India Company Court of Directors, 14 July 1845. A copy of this Political Letter can be found at IOR/F/4/2122/100076, alongside details of further enclosures.
The item relates to two policies connected to the export of animals from Bushire [Bushehr] by British subjects. Samuel Hennell, Resident in the Persian Gulf, reports his correspondence with Mahomed Houssin Khan [Muḥammad Ḥusayn Khān Muqaddam Marāgha'i, Ājudān-Bāshi], the new Governor of Fars, about the most recent policy. Hennell also voices his concerns about how the two policies interact and how they might be exploited. He makes reference to a British ship, the Actress, which belongs to Aga Mahomed Tuckee bin Hajee Ally Ukbar Shirazee [Āghā Muḥammad Taqī bin Hāji ʿAlī Akbar Shīrāzī], a Persian [Iranian] merchant who resides in Bombay. The ship is currently preparing to export mules from Bushire. Hennell reports that agents for the Actress have entered into ‘underhand negotiations’ with Persian government officials, whilst requesting help from him. He seeks advice from Lieutenant Colonel Justin Sheil, HM Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of Persia, on how to proceed.
A copy of a ruckum [raqam] from Mahomed Houssin Khan, obtained by agents of the Actress, is included at folio 526.
The correspondents are: Hennell; Sheil; Mohamed Houssin Khan; and the Government of Bombay.
