- Scope & Content:
-
The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence 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 ninth in a series of nine items on events in the Persian Gulf 1853-54.
The item contains a letter from Cursondas Neney [Karsandās Nīnsī, also rendered in text as Cursondass Nency], a British subject and owner of the vessel Sullamuttee [Salāmatī], to the Government of Bombay, dated 1 August 1854. He complains that cargo on board belonging to Persian [Iranian] merchants was seized at Kissum [Qeshm, also rendered in text as Kishm and Kissim] by Shaik Abd Rahimon [Shaikh ‘Abd al-Raḥmān bin Ṣaqr], an Agent of the Imam [Imām] of Muscat. Further, he states that the Persian merchants are now demanding he pay the cost of the cargo as he was prevented from delivering it to their agents in Lingah [Bandar-e Lengeh, also rendered in text as Linga]. He requests assistance from the Governor of Bombay to retrieve the cargo.
The Government of Bombay refers the matter to Captain Arnold Burrowes Kemball, Resident in the Persian Gulf.
