Sir,
With reference to your despatch No. 99 of the 10th
February last (K 14721/33^/^50), I have the honour’ to report
that I duly transmitted to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs
the King’s Commission appointing Mr. .. Hou&h to be His
Majesty’s Consul-General at Constantinople, together with a
request for the grant of an exequatur to enable him to act in
his official caoacity.
2. I have now received frora the Ministry for Foreign
Affairs a note, of which a copy is enclosed herein, returning
the commission and pointing out that among the vilayets
mentioned as being within r. Hough’s consular jurisdiction
there occur the military zones of Qatalca and Izrnit. The
Ministry draws attention to the fact that such jurisdiction
cannot apply to military zones, and requests that a new
commission be submitted mentioning only the actual seat of
the Consulate-General, the consular district being described
in the covering note requesting the issue of an exequatur.
3. This is not the first time that the Ministry have
made reserves in respect of military zones mentioned in the
King’s Commissions appointing consular officers to posts in
Turkey, but since the issue of an exequatur took the place
of the visa formerly endorsed on the commission itself the
Turkish practice has been merely to omit from the exequatur
the mention of those vilayets which were included in
forbidden/
