pany’s privileges agreeable to our Phirmaund, however, that at his request we i
caused his ship to be towed hither, as ho had no main mast, fow people and is
now in want of all kinds of stores.
In consequence of what the Agent sometime since wroto the President, of
its being Moolah Ally Shaw, the Persian Admirals advice, to detain what
money was owing the Persians hero for goods they sold out of the two ships
that came to his Port in April 1746 wo did secure to the amount of about
twenty thousand Rupees, about half of which sum has been delivered back to
Mabomct Beg to clear him of Surat, and for the use of bis ship, nor will the
remainder be sufficient to maintain him and his followers and put the ship
in a proper posture for proceeding to Gombroon at the next fair season, as
she must be navigated by Officers and people hired here, as he has none. It
will be needless for us to repeat to the Agent and Council how unjustly and to
what great amount the Company have suffer'd, particularly from the late
Nadir Shaw’s oppressions who dispatched these Persians hither, and altho* it Gombroon Agant
would not be unjust to detain this ship in part satisfaction yet before weH(.qniini-th|t

to them on the Brake Ketch, and if the two bales of Aurora’s are sold they fc*5J&taka to hi**1
must credit this Presidency for the amount, but if they are not sold and JJJJJJJ®4 y®*1
not sell for three and three quarters Rupees per yeard it will be better to
have them returned to us on the Drake.
The Agent and Council must likewise be directed to return the Brake Gombroon Agent *
to us as soon as they can, putting on board her such Copper, eto., as they SoruTbe^hmka
may have in warehouse, and also what treasure they have, reserving sufficient
for their necessary expenses ; but in case the ballance of their cash should be Tie.surethej be™
