- Abstract: Translation of a Firman from the Shah of Persia [Iran], Futteh Allee Shah [Fath-‘Ali Shāh Qājār], to the Governor-General of Fars, Hussein Allee Meerza [Prince Governor of Fars, Ḥusayn ‘Alī Mirzā Farmānfarmā], dated Shaban AH 1242 [March 1827]. The Firman concerns a dispute between the Government of Fars and the British in Fars, including allegations that the British Resident in the Persian Gulf (Ephriam Gerrish Stannus) and other British officials were involved in ‘violence offered’ by the Imaum [Imam] of Muscat against Sheikh Abdul Russool [Shaikh of Bushehr, Shaikh ʿAbd al-Rasūl Khan] (see IOR/L/PS/9/70/176). The Firman directs Hussein Allee Meerza to apologise to the British Resident for the allegations made against him, and to make amends for the dispute, including by returning property plundered from British subjects, and removing customs duties from the property of ‘Ambassadors’.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 2 in No. 41, in the letter of the East India Company Envoy to Persia, Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 23 March 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/70/192).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
