Title
Letter No. 405: Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Hennell, Resident in the Persian Gulf, Bushire, to Arthur Malet, Chief Secretary to the Government, Bombay
Date
30 Oct 1850
Description

This letter concerns the Agent at Shiraz, Mirza Mahmood. Samuel Hennell reports that, after a long and patient investigation, no doubt remains of the Agent's criminality in having taken and sold for his own benefit a gold watch belonging to the late Mr Tasker. Hennell states that, following instructions from Her Majesty's Minister at the Court of Persia, Lieutenant-Colonel Justin Sheil, he has removed Mirza Mahmood from his position as Government Agent at Shiraz and has nominated Mirza Fusl Ollah as his replacement. Hennell encloses a copy of Sheil's letter of instructions, dated 8 October 1850. The enclosure is not included, but Sheil's letter does appear earlier in the file (see ff.181-185).
