Court has to do in case the two assessors do not agree is to
appoint a third assessor. The odium, if any, for fixing the
price of the property, which is the important point, will be
on the assessors. If nobody buys at the assessed rate, the
owner will remain in possession but liable at any time to be
forced to sell at the price assessed, see Clause 3 of draft
law.
4. X propose therefore informing His Majesty's Government
that their draft Nationality and Property Laws are suitable
and will do this when I receive from you drafts of the letters
referred to in paragraph 5 of India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. letter under
reference. These letters I will forward to the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors.
with my commenls, if any.
5. When His Majesty's Government have approved of these
letters the Nationality and Property Laws will be ready for
issue by the Bahrain Government, but before the latter
actually do this they must decide to what foreign nationals
in Bahrain they intend applying the Property Law (see Clause
2 thereof), since I think it would be undesirable for there
to be any delay between the publication of the Law and of the
Notification applying it. Will you please therefore consult
Mr. Belgrave personally and confidentially on this point
and submit a draft Notification which I will send to His
Majesty f s Government for their approval. The main point
to decide is, of course, whether any other country besides
Iran should be notified. Prima faci e I snould think, in the
first instance at any rate, it had better apply to Iran only
for the reasons given in the last lines of paragraph 3 of
your Express letter. ^nce the law is made applicable to
Iran and has been working for some time it will be easier
later /
