- Title:
- ‘Persian Gulf Relative to the complaint of the seizure and detention at Kishm of merchandize [etc] belonging to Hindoo British subjects.-’
- Scope & Content:
-
The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence, minutes and resolutions, cited in, or enclosed with, a Political Letter from the Government of Bombay to the East India Company Court of Directors, 29 August 1854. A copy of this letter can be found at IOR/F/4/2586/154786, alongside details of further enclosures. The item is the seventh in a series of nine items on events in the Persian Gulf 1853-54.
The item relates to a complaint by certain Hindoo [Hindu] British subjects residing in Kerman and Yezd [Yazd, also rendered in text as Zezd and Zeyd]. They complain that their merchandise has been seized on the island of Kishm [Qeshm] by the Sheikh Abdul Rahman ben Suggur [Shaikh ‘Abd al-Raḥmān bin Ṣaqr, also rendered in text as Abd Urrhaman], in retaliation to the Persian [Iranian] authorities seizing control of Bunder Abbas [Bandar-e ʻAbbas]. Their complaint is made to William Taylor Thomson, HM Minister at Tehran, who forwards it to Arnold Burrowes Kemball, Resident in the Persian Gulf. Kemball in turn forwards it to the Government of Bombay, alongside a copy of his subsequent instructions to Commodore Robinson, Commanding the Indian Naval Squadron in the Persian Gulf, to investigate the issue at Kishm.
Taylor Thomson is also referred to as HM Chargé d'Affaires at Tehran.
The title page of the item contains the following references: 'Bombay Political Department', Draft Number '20 1855', 'Collection No. 5 of No. 58 of 1854', 'Vol: 6' and 'Examiner's Office'. Originally, the Collection number was given as '6' but this has been crossed out and replaced with '5'.
