Sir,
With reference to your telegram No. 80 of August 5th,
approving the retention of a Tehran lawyer of good standing
to appear on behalf of His Majesty’s Consul at Kermanshah
at the hearing in the Court of Appeal at Ramadan of the
suit brought against him by Reuben Lalezar, I have the
honour to report that Dr. Naficy proceeded to Hamadan on
September 22nd, the appointed date, only to find the Court
in the process of moving to Kermanshah. The circumstances
are set forth in the note to the Acting Minister for Foreign
Affairs of which I enclose a copy.
2. The expenses incurred by Dr. Naficy on this
abortive journey amounted to Rials seven hundred and eighty,
which I have naturally refunded to him. I should be glad
to learn whether you would approve of my suggesting to the
Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs that they in their turn
should refund this sum to the Legation. I do not suppose
that they would ever pay, but the demand might encourage
them to be more careful another time.
3. The transfer of the Court of Appeal from Hamadan
to Kermanshah was ordered by the Minister of Justice in the
course of a recent tour of inspection. He apparently
indicated that it should take place at once, but I do not
suppose he intended it to be taken so literally that current
work
The Right Honourable
Sir John Simon, Q.C.S.I.,
