The last sitting of his Commission was held in January 1876. The Turkish
memorandum and the tracing of the frontier as claimed by the Porte were duly
presented; but, owing to a misapprehension on the part of the Persian Cemmissioner,
rhe Persian memorandum and tracing were not ready. Much delay ensued in
i on sequence, and in July 1876 the outbreak of the Servian war put a stop to all
further proceedings. The Persian documents were only communicated on the eve
of this war.

Ihe vexed question of the powers of Persian Consular officers and
the immunities of Persian subjects in Turkey, which had given much
trouble in the past, was finally regulated by a* Convention between
Persian and Turkey, dated ^Oth December 1875. There bad been a
wide divergence between the Turkish and Persian Governments' views
on these subjects, the former virtually claiming to treat Persians in Turkey
as Ottoman subjects while the latter insisted on rights similar to those
possessed by the great European powers under capitulation only. The
Convention recognised the title of Persian Consuls and consular Dragom
ans in Turkey to the same privileges as those enjoyed by the Consuls
and Dragomans of other powers; and the exclusive authority of the Persian
Consuls over Persian subjects in questions confined to Persian subjects
whether civil or criminal, and in matters of succession were affirmed;
but Persian subjects were declared amenable to the jurisdiction of the
Turkish courts in cases of breach by them of the law of the country
and in mixed civil and commercial cases, certain powers of assistance
and protection in the proceedings being reserved however to the Persian
consular representatives. Among other matters, the immunity of Persian
subjects from " taxes to which only Ottoman subjects were liable was
established. The Convention also laid down that all the provisions
relating to Persian subjects in Turkey should apply equally to Turkish
subjects in Persia, and that both should receive treatment due to
subjects of the most favoured nation.
