(3) ^ watch over the ground and a wall sufficiently hiVh to prevent in -
trusion.
_A watchman had already employed ; the wall was also high enough in the
opinion of Lieutenant-Colonel Pelly and the sunnud and compensation, he sub
mitted, were alone required to place the safety of the graveyard at Bushire on a
satisfactory footing,

result that the Foreign Minister issued orders to the Governor of Bushire,
Mirza Mehdi Khan, to prevent any damage being done by planting trees on the
spot in question.
(Ixxx) Cases of infractions of treaty rights by Persian authorities. Restrictions
on the Resident communicating with the Local Governors, 1868.
557. In 1867-68 Colonel Pelly (letters to the Bombay Government, No.
Political A.,July 1868, Nos. 168-70. '33 j dated 4th November 1867, and No.
47. dated 23rd April 1868) submitted
to the Bombay Government several complaints about infractions of treaty rights
at Bushire, namely :—
(i) The Bushire authorities had placed difficulties in the way of export
ing mules to Abyssinia, notwithstanding Persian promise to afford
every facilities for this purpose.
(ii) More than 5 per cent, export duty had been demanded of a British
subject exporting some horses, which were his property.
(iii) An embargo had been placed on the exportation of grain. This in
juriously affected British subjects, but it was relaxed in favour
of Persians.
(iv) A variety of very irritating vexations and two very serious outrages
had been committed by the Bushire officials on British Residents,
official and non-official.
(v) The prohibition of British subjects from purchasing as building

Colonel Pelly also pointed out the difficulty he experienced in getting quick
and easy redress of grievances inasmuch as there had been an order* of the Minis-
„ T .. q - o r • .oc ter at Tehran to the effect that the Resi-

dent should communicate not with the
Persian Local Governors, but with the Local Foreign Office agents at Bushire,
No man had been appointed to the last post for four or five years.
558. The Government of India in writing to the British Minister at Tehran
requested that he should insist on the
adoption, by the Persian Government, of
such measures as would secure our subjects in the unmolested engagement of all
rights conferred on them by treaty and would prevent the local and provincial
Governors from evading or ignoring the orders of the Central Government, The
Government of India also thought that one of the main causes of the unsatisfac
tory state of things was the restriction placed upon free communication between
the Resident and the local provincial Governors, and suggested the expediency of
removing restriction, if possible (Government of India letter No. 780, dated 20th
July 1868).
559. Strong representations were then made to the Persian Government
