against Brigadier-General Sir Percy Sykes, which formed the
subject of Mr.Dodd T s despatch No. 456 of August 25th, might,
for example, be pressed against His Majesty’s Consul at that
^ town, if there were reason to suppose that this course might
be remunerative. I shall be glad of your observations on this
aspect of the question, but you will appreciate that no attempt
to reach an out of court settlement, even if you consider this
desirable, should be made before Treasury authority has been
requested and obtained.
6. a further point to be considered is the possible
liability of the Government of India to bear a part of the cost
involved in connexion with this claim or with the action in the
Persian courts. The fact that Major J.L.R.Weir, who was His
Majesty’s Consul and Political Officer at Kermanshah during 1919
and who seems to have been concerned to some extent with the
imposition of the fine, is an officer of the Indian Political
Service, may h:-ive some bearing on this point. I shall, however,
in the first place be glad if you will endeavour to ascertain,
if possible, in what way His Majesty’s Consul disposed of the
Krans.
5,800. fine of five thousand, eight hundred krans received from Reuben
Lalezar in 1919, and in particular whether it can be shown that
this sum, or a part of it, was credited to Indian revenues.
7. I shall also be glad to receive a copy or translation of
the written communication made by Mr. Hoyland to the Governor-
General of Kermanshah, as reported in paragraph 4 of his
despatch No. 63 of October 6th.
I am, etc.,
(Signed) G.W.Rendel.
(For the Secretary of State)
