This document, of which a certified copy is trinsmitted
herewith, does not mention lieuben laiez r hut shows the
reasons which led to the Imposition of the fine. The
file also contains a carbon eo^y of the telegram, without
the minutes, in ti*i handwTiting of ?ajor Weir and
signed toy him as the sender. This is eviaentiy the copy

5) * The failure to tr .ee ally record of this case
in the archives i& perhaps explained uy the words rt No
papers here'* in the minute to the A. 1. 0. The telegram
was repeated to Subi^erstrans or Sub-Controller of Persian
Transport and it is possible that as this iliit ayr depart
ment collected the first part of the fine, the record,
if any, existed there. Jy the same line of conjecture
it my be assumed that the fine collected at the Consulate
was paid over to the Transport Department* This would
account for the fine not bein& shown in H. !• Consul*s
accounts.
