had already undergone while under trial. It had previously been ordered
the Government of India, perhaps on account of a doubt whether
a ^warrant signed by the Resident could be legally recognised by the
prison authorities in India, that any sentence passed should be carried
out at Bushehr under arrangements made by the Resident.

ber of boats from Qishm to the scene of the accident, confined himself to
causing the vessel to be towed to his port, in hopes of benefiting by her
eventually. Afterwards he sent a deputation to Bushehr to explain that

entered into an agreement, which was duly carried out, for the restora

The request was repeated, apparently in a more extensive form,
in the following year, when it was again refused by the Resident^
Colonel Ross. In justification of his attitude the Resident explained
that to frame a list correct even for the moment was impossible, owing
to the multitude and diversity of the British clients who were continually
passing through the ports of the Persian Coast, while persons employed
by the British Government or by private British subjects were daily
being discharged and replaced by others j that any attempt to keep
the Persian authorities continuously informed on the subject would not

frequent; the Persian authorities could always ascertain instantly and
without difficulty, by referring to the
