A retaliatory fine has been allotted over each district equivalent to the losses caused by

I made enquiries of Sartip Zain-ul-Abedeen Khan, as to tho affairs of Baluch Khan
Naush.Twani. The Sartip said that Mir Haluch Khan had asked the Prince to let him have
a place to reside in, in Persia, and that the Prince had replied that it was all one whether he
resided in Persian or British territory, as long as he behaved himself. He could not be
permitted to live in Persia if he wished to create distrubances ; and another condition for his
residence in Persian territory would be that he had committed no offence against tho British
Government. Mir Beluch Khan in reply asked the Prince to give him a letter of recommenda­
tion to the British Government. To this request the Prince acceded, though tho contents of
tho lei ter of recommendation are not known.
