Will you please refer to the
papers Ko.T.6797/6797/^4 enclosed
with F.O.letter of 22nd June?
We do not at all dissent from
the Foreign Office view that there
are conclusive arguments against
pursuing the question of an
extradition treaty with Persia or
an extradition agreement in respect
of India and Persia. But 1 am
asked to draw attention informally to
a point of procedure in connexion
with the case.
Clive's despatch No.124 of
19th Liay was addressed to the
Foreign Secretary to the Government
of India, and he asked what reply they
would wish him to return to the
Persian proposal. On receiving this
enquiry, they consulted the local
authorities concerned in the circular
letter of 10 June, copy of which was
enclosed with 1.0.printed letter of
2nd July,P.Z.4122/31. In the
circumstances, we feel that the
F.O.telegram of 17th June went rather
far in instructing Clive that if
possible the proposal should be
allowed to drop, before the G.of 1's.

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).
