Supreme Court of the Shah at Tabriz
or at Teheran, likewise in the presence
of a Dragoman of the Mission or of

Article 8.
In case of murder or any other
crime committed among Russian sub
jects, the investigation and decision
of the case shall be within the exclu
sive province of the Minister, or
Charge d’Affaires, or Consul of Russia
in virtue of the jurisdiction delegated
to them over their own countrymen.
If a Russian subject should happen
to be implicated with individuals of
another nation in a criminal suit, he
shall not be prosecuted nor molested
in any way without proofs of his
participation in the crime ; and even
in that case, as in the one in which a
Russian subject should be charged
with direct culpability, the tribunals
of the country shall not be competent
to proceed with the trial and judg
ment of the crime except in the pre
sence of a delegate of the Mission or
the Russian Consulate, and if there
should be none on the spot in which
the crime has been committed, the
local authorities shall take steps to
send the delinquent to a place where
there is a Consul or a constituted
Russian Agent. The evidence both
for and against the accused shall be
faithfully taken by the Hakim and
by the Judge of the place, and attested
by their signature; transmitted in
this form to the place where the offence
is to be tried ; this evidence shall
constitute a record or authentic sum
mary of the proceedings, unless the
accused should clearly demonstrate
d’un Drogman de la Mission ou d,
Consulat de Russie.
Article 8,
En cas do meurtre ou d’autre crime
commis entre sujets Russes, 1’examen et
la decision du cas seront du ressort
exclusif du Ministre, ou du Charge
d’Affaires, ou du Consul de Russie, en
vertu de juridiction qui leur est deferee
sur leurs nationaux. Si un sujet Russe
se trouve implique avec des individus
d’un autre nation dans un proces cri-
minel, il ne pourra etre poursuivi, ni
inquiet^ d’aucune maniere a moins de
preuves de sa participation au crime, et
dans ce cas meme comme dans celui oA
un sujet Russe serait pr^venu de cul
pability directe, les tribunaux du pays
ne pourront proceder a la connaissance
et au jugement du crime qu’en presence
d’un delegue de la Mission ou du Consulat
de Russie, et s’il ne s’en trouve pas sui
les lieux oti le delit ete commis, les
autorites locales feront transporter le
delinquant la oil il y a un Consul ou
un agent Russe constitue. Les te-
moignages a charge et a decharge du

About this item

Content

This part relates to the Government of India's decision to issue a revised edition of Aitchison's Treaties (full title: A Collection of Treaties, Engagements and Sanads Relating to India and Neighbouring Countries ), with revised narratives for each geographical area covered, incorporating the principal events that have occurred since the publication of the previous edition in 1909.

The part concerns the revised narrative for the section regarding Persia [Iran], Seistan [Sistan], Kerman and Persian Baluchistan, and includes extensive interdepartmental correspondence (most of which is dated 1929-1931) discussing the contents of the revised narrative, as well as the question of which treaties and agreements to include alongside it.

The correspondence goes on to cover the requirement for a fresh proof of the revised narrative, following the Government of India's decision (made in consultation with His Majesty's Government) to defer its publication, in order to include references not only to recent events but also to further developments that are expected in the near future.

Most of the part is made up of a copy of the second proof of the revised narrative (ff 24-41) together with copies of numerous related treaties, agreements and correspondence covering the period 1763-1928 (ff 42-216), of which a significant amount is written in French.

The main correspondents are the following: the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India; the British Legation, Tehran; officials of the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. , Foreign Office, Colonial Office, and the Government of India's Foreign and Political Department.
