Sir,
With reference to your despatches Bo. 1B1 (J 2363/681/1)
of|80th Aupmst, 1925 and No. 108 (J 686/2/1} of 25th March, 1926,
i have the honour to report that I have received a request from
the Government of India for reimhiu-semant of 588/15/5 being
expenses incurred in respect of detention of four Somali prisoners
at Aden. I am sending a draft for this amount, but there are
#
certain points in connection with detention at Aden of prisoners
rro?n Abyssinia which do not app-ar to m to be free from doubt* ^
2. The bee catches tmc^r reference, and ail relevant ^
correspondence diiring 1925 and 1926 which I have been able to trace
deals with the detention at Aden of prisoners convicted by the
Abyssinian Mixed Court , and it was specifically in connection with
such convicts that the Government of India limited their liability,
'for maintenance to convicts of British Indian nationality. This
would appear to imply, prime facie, that no such limitation was made
as regards persons convicted by the Consular Court, especially in
view of the fact that the Consular Court may in some respects,
though perhaps not legally, be regarded ss an Indian Court.
5. Amain, the Somaliland Government agree to bear the expense
of Somalis, convicted by th© Mixed court and sent to serve their
sentence at Aden, but I can find no such agreement in the case of
convictions by th© Consular Court.
4. In order to make clear th© points on which I feel that a
definite decision Is necessary, I put them, in th® form of questions
as follows?*.
