مجموعة ١/٢٩ "الدوائر القنصلية في جنوب بلاد فارس: السلطة القضائية للقنصل العام البريطاني في بوشهر؛ اعتراض الحكومة الفارسية على تحديد نطاق دائرة مسؤول قنصلي" [و‎‎١‎٩‎٥] (٤٤٣/٣٩٢)

objection to this post not being technically within the area
included in my consular district.
3. As regards Pars, the chief advantage at the present time
is that the inclusion of Shiraz within the Consular-General's
jurisdiction enables him to recess there occasionally in the
summer) but if it be clearly understood that no exception will
be taken to his proceeding to Shiraz on duty in the summer should
he desire to do SO) then I see no objection to the exclusion of
Fare from my consular district.
4. As regards Bandar Abbas I am not aware of the arguments
in favour of putting it under Kerman unless it is that the
trade of Kerman passes through Bandar Abbas, ihis argument
would seem to have little weight and might equally be advanced
as an argument in favour of putting Shiraz unuer the supervision
of Bushire since all the trade of that province passes through
Bushire. There are however in my opinion the strongest possible
arguments for retaining Bandar Abbas under Bushire. Firstly, the
present day tendency is to make consular districts coincide as
closely as possible with Persian administrative areas, ihe
Deputy Governor of Bandar Aboas is subordinate to the Governor
of the Gulf ports. Therefore if any incident occurs in Bandar
Abbas the normal procedure is for the Deputy Governor of that
place to report the incident to the Governor of the Gulf ports.
The result of the proposal would be that whereas the Persian
authorities at Bandar Abbas would approach Theran thiough
Bushire, ttoxStoKXKJPj: the British Consul at that place would
approach Tehran thr
Kerman s surely a very anomalous arrangement. Further, Hen jam
is within the Bandar Abbas district and the exclusion of
Bandar Abbas from the Consul-General's area would mean that
the multifarious incidents that are constantly cropping up
would have to be reported not to the Resident but
at Henjam
