‘Muscat. Ill-treatment received by the Native Agent at – in consequence of his having interfered on behalf of a Banian named Heerjee Kessowjee.’
- Scope & Content:
-
This item consists of copies of correspondence, minutes, and consultations cited in, or enclosed with, political letters from the Government of Bombay. These political letters appear in IOR/F/4/2174/105546. It is the twenty-second in a series of forty-five items on the Persian Gulf.
The correspondents are: the Government of Bombay; Major Samuel Hennell, Resident in the Persian Gulf; Khojah Heskeil [Khawājah Ḥizqīl bin Yūsuf], Native Agent at Muscat; and Syed Soweynee [Sayyid Thuwaynī bin Sa‘īd Āl Bū Sa‘īd], Governor of Muscat.
The item concerns the protection offered by Khojah Heskeil to Seyt Hirjee bin Kishmjee bin Kushra bin Purdan [Sīth Hīrjī ibn Kishnjī ibn Kusar ibn Pardhān] (referred to throughout the item as Hirjee or Hirjee Banyan, and occasionally as Heerjee Kessewjee [Hīrjī Kīsūjī]), and the subsequent ill treatment of Khojah Heskeil by Salmin bin Towfeak [Sālmīn bin Tawfīq], who is described as one of Syed Soweynee’s servants. Hirjee was granted protection as a British subject, but was recently discharged by Syed Soweynee from his position as farmer of customs and was facing claims from various creditors, and so Syed Soweynee considers Khojah Heskeil’s interference to be unwarranted. Hennell agrees, but nevertheless considers that Salmin bin Towfeak ought to be punished.
The item contains a table of contents (f 465), and the title page (f 464) contains the following references: ‘P C [Previous Communication] 5507, Coll. 7, Vol. 22’, ‘D/t 197/47’, ‘Collection No. 10 of No. 53’ and ‘Examiner’s Office’.
Multiple spellings for various personal names are present in the volume.
