Dispute between Bibi's inheritors and Mirza Abu al-Qasim, 1873

On May 16, 1870, Bibi [?] Khanum, the daughter of Muhammad Isma‘il from Shiraz and the wife of Sayyid Husayn the merchant from Shiraz, sold the houses located in the Sar-i Bagh neighborhood for three hundred and sixteen tumans to Mirza Abu al-Qasim, the son of Mirza Nur al-Din the merchant known as Hindi [from India]. After Bibi [?] Khanum’s death, there was a dispute between her children – Mah Baygum, [illegible], Gawhar Shad Baygum, Sayyid Mirza, Sayyid ‘Ali, and Mirza Aqa Dawlah [?] – and Mirza Abu al-Qasim regarding the conditions of the mentioned sale document. According to the writer, since Mirza Abu al-Qasim from India was a British national, he was supported by them, thus Bibi [?] Khanum’s inheritors took their appeal to Haji Muhammad Muhsin the merchant.
