responsible for, and cannot he sued in respect of, the acts
of his predecessor. If Mr* Hoy land does not put forward
this contention before the Persian courts it might he more
difficult for His Majesty’s Government afterwards to claim
that the judgment against him was a denial of justice.
If on the other hand he succeeds in this contention and if
the action is dismissed, some pert of the cost incurred by
him would pre umably be recoverable from the plaintiff, but
he ia clearly entitled to indemnification fro® public funds
to the extent that he may be out of pocket as a result of
the proceedings. I am therefore to enquire whether Their
Lordships agree that His Majesty’s Representative at :ehran
may be Informed that his assumption, as stated at the
beginning of this paragraph, is correct, and I am to request
Their authority to incur such reasonable expenditure as may
be necessary in connexion with any le ;al proceedings which
may take place in the local courts.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
