Baloochi Assault, as reported to you vide ray B,T« of Word® ill
dated the 10th April*19ro. 1 have "often noticed -that the
wound, casea of the SultrJnia subject® in (Jwadur Territory are
settled only on the above liner -, irref pective of the grievous
nature of the woiindi. There is a somewhat deviation from the
above procedure in the case of wrund cases taking place in the
British Mekran," where, a® my experience warrants, assaulters

the whole trouble and —liich -"ill tend to substantiate my
official opinion th.t the '"oimds of the Baloochi. "-omen w ere

true, as it is believed to be, it is just the same opinion as
I personally had during the riots. This is why I, for the
