materialise, and Sirjan still continues to be in the Kerman Adlieh jurisdic
tion.
In view of the accumulation of work in the Bedayat (first instance) Court
in Kerman, orders were received from J_ eh ran eailj m the jeai to establish m
additional court, under one ot the reserve judges ot the Appeal Court, to (k-d
with criminal cases exclusively.
As the result of investigations made by Shahshahani, an Inspector from
the Ministry of Justice, into charges of corruption brought against certain
officials of the Adlieh Department in Kerman. Sayyed Ali Khan Kabir, Public
Prosecutor of the Bedayat Court, and Sayyed Muhammad Ali Jandaqi, one of
the leading pleaders, were put under arrest in the month of June. They were
eventually released on bail and proceeded to Tehran for trial.
Mirza Sayyed Muhsin Khan Tmad, the Investigating Judge, was placed ou
the waiting list in the same connection.
In suite of all this, there has been no noticed improvement in the administra
tion of Justice in the province, and the dilatory methods ruling in the local
courts have gone from bad to worse since the transfer of Dawar to the Finance
Office.
Benistralion of property .—Mohamad Hassan Khan Shahpuri (Iqtidar-us-
Sultanj, formerly a Judge in the Appeal Court, Kerman, was appointed Chief
of the Registration Office, Kerman in the month of August, but the Registration
Office did not start functioning until the latter part of November.
The Kerman town and environs have been divided into different _ sections,
the time allowed for the registration of property in respect of each section being
two months, which can be extended to three months, if necessary.
The regsitration fees amount to 1.25 per cent, of the ^ value, excluding the
‘ preliminary expenses ’, which vary from Rials. 6 to Rials. 500 for property
valued up to Tomans 10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value. 50 and over Tomans 10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value. 50,000, respectively.
A peculiar problem has cropped up in connection with the registration of
property by the fact that a large number of shops in this province hold what is
locally called the right of ‘ Sarqufli ’, originating in the privilege enjoyed by
the first occupant to transfer his ‘ right of priority ’ to other parties.
The money which has in this way changed hands, from time to time, amounts
in many cases to three or four times the actual value of the property concerned,
and such shops are, therefore, left with two owners, each of whom draws a
separate rent.
As there appears to be no provision in the laws of the country to deal with
this extra ownership, the Registration authorities refuse to recognize the right
of the ‘ Sar-qufli ’ owners and the latter have therefore made representations
to Tehran on the subject.
Prince Afsar remained in charge of the Post and Telegraph Department
Posts smd Teleeraohs throughout the year. The delivery arrange-
tP ' ments so far as maiis are concerned are still
not as satisfactory as could be desired.
Mirza Sayyed Ja’far Khan Nabavi, who took over the offices and lines from
the Indo-European Telegraph Department in Kerman in 1931, arrived from
Tehran at the end of June, to supervise the disposal of the remaining property
left by the Indo-European Telegraph Department of which several lorry loads
were despatched to Tehran in the month of September.
Mirza Hassan Khan Jaudat, who held the post of Director of Education in
Ednratinn Kerman since December 1927, was recalled in
. ' . _ the month of August, and Mirza Abdul
Karim Khan Ibrahimi, the Assistant Director, remained in charge for the rest
of the year.
^ A sixth class was Ridded to the Shahpur School, one of the three Government
Primary Schools in Kerman, in the month of December, and arrangements sire
being made to open a new girls’ school, with four primary classes, in one of the
suburbs of the town.
At the present moment the budget of the Education Department in this
province amounts to Rials 574,050 in the year.

funds (Hiring- 1932, managed to start a seventh and an eighth class, chiefly with
