present case; that if the Ministry did not agree to take
the course I suggested, I should immediately send in a
disagreeable note, but I felt convinced tnat when the
facts had been reported to you, I should be instructed to
make a decidedly more disagreeable representation than the
one I proposed to make on my own initiative*
6# Mr* Trott has reported to me that though Jelal
naturally tried to evade the issue by talking about
British encroachments in Persian Baluchistan during the
war# the indeterminate nature of the frontier and tne
necessity of a proper demarcation, he eventually admitted
that tne Reis-i-Amnieh was in fault* he then produced
from his table a letter which he said he had just
received from the Ministry of V ar to inform him that
instructions had been given for ah investigation and for
the punishment of the Reis-i-Amiieh if he had crossed
the frontier*
7* In these circumstances I propose to await further
developments out have thought it well to inform you of
the action 1 have taken in view of the fact that a report
of the incident has already been furnished fcy His Majesty^
Consul to the Government of India*
8* If morals can safely be drawn before incidents are
definitely settled, the one that I am tempted to draw is
that our troubles with the Persians are as much due to
honest failure ox* their par w to grasp the flagrantly
obvious as to deliberate ill ■‘will*
I have tne honour to be with the highest respect#
Sir#
Your most obedient, humble Servant#
(for His Majesty's Minister)
(Signed) Charles Dodd*

About this item
- Content
Correspondence and other papers relating to controls on cross-border movements and extradition measures on the frontier between Persia [Iran] and India (specifically British Baluchistan, part of present-day Pakistan), discussed between the British Government, Government of India, and Persian Government. The papers refer to a number of cross-border incidents, including murders and robbery committed in Persian territory, in which the perpetrators subsequently absconded into British Baluchistan. The papers include British protests to the Persian Government, in response to incursions by Persian levies into British territories, and correspondence exchanged between British officials, indicating a reluctance to sign an extradition treaty with Persia.
The file’s principal correspondents include: the British Legation at Tehran (Robert Henry Clive; Reginald Hervey Hoare; Charles Dodd); representatives of the Persian Government, including the Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mirza Mohamed Ali Khan Feroughi); the British Consul at Sistan and Kain [Ka’īn] (Major Clive Kirkpatrick Daly); the Governor General and Chief Commissioner in Baluchistan (Alexander Norman Ley Cater); the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India (Evelyn Berkeley Howell).
