that, in tho absence of funds to meet the coot of legal ex
propriation, the procedure complained of had been adopted.
Notwithstanding that lour Excellency had in the meantime
made urgent representations through the i inistar of the In
terior, an extensive demolition of ^ossro Lynch's property,
including their Chief office, was begun on the 7th /Uigust,
and more recently Lis Majesty's Consul-General has reported
that the property of liritiah subjects already demolished and
threatened means a loss of some £ 5000; while he learns that it
is proposed to enforce further expropriations, at groat loss to
many jritish subjects resident in Baghdad.
on the B9th oeptember lour Excellency reported that British-
Inuian property at i.azimia and herbela had likewise been demolish
ed, and that the Wall had declined any indemnification on grounds
which are wholly unconvincing.
i*is majesty's Government must emphatically protest against
this procedure; they must further, in view of the fact that it
has originated with the i/ali, hold the Ottoman Govemmant them
selves responsible for the damage already inflicted, and, after
receiving a kx report as to its precise extent from his Majesty's
Consul-General, your Excellency should present a detailed claim
to the Ottoman Minister for Foreign affairs.
Before leaving the question of these expropriations, I think
it necessary to advert to tho rumoured intention of the ^fali
of Baghdad to cause a new road to be constructed through the
middle of the grounds of Lis majesty's Conaulate-aeneral, where
as by maxing a slight deviation it might be made to follow an
existing road; it is true tliat after lour excellency had made
representations to the -ublime rorte, the v/ali asserted to His
Majesty's Consul-General that no interference with the Consulate
buildings had been in contemplation: I feel constrained to ob
serve that the local evidence to fcga the contrary effect is of
a conclusive character.
Two further cases of unwarrantable interference with British
interests
