Sir,
I am directed by Secretary Sir John Simon to transmit
to you, to be laid before the Lords Commissioners of His
Majesty’s Treasury, the accompanying correspondence regarding
the claim of a Persian subject named i euben Lalszar against
His Majesty’s Consul at Xermanchah in respect of fines levied
by the British military authorities in 1919, at a time when
British troops were in occupation of the district*
2* Their Lordships will observe that the claimant la
now endeavouring to sue Mr. Consul Hoyland, the present
incumbent of the post, in the local Persian courts. The
claim is one which had previously been raised by the Persian
Government through the diplomatic channel, and every endeavour
will accordingly be made by the British authorities concerned
to keep the matter in the inter-governmental sphere. At the
same time, it is impos/ible to ensure that the proceedings
shall not be continued in the Persian court j, and it is
therefore necessary to take into account the possibility that
judgment may be given against His Majesty's Consul, a possibility
which may be the more likely if His Majesty's Consul merely
ignores the proceedings.
3. As regards the merits of the claim, the Secretary of
State was definitely advised in 1925 that, if the ca
come before a claims coramis;ion, it appeared probabl
information available, that judgment would be given 1
His
The Secretary
to the Treasury
