customs of Chahbar and Gwatar were, at the time of their being taken
over in January 1902, farmed for two years to British Indian contractors
under an agreement executed so lately as April of the previous year;

official by whom it was granted had acted without authority. The
farmers were accordingly advised by the British political authorities to
relinquish the farm and lodge a claim for compensation with the Persian
Government; this they did, and eventually obtained a portion of the
