proposed to Khonji’s solicitors, Messrs.
Hall & Go. (see their letter to Foreign Office of
24th December, 1930) that Khonji seek a settlement on
the lines indicated in Biscoe f s despatch and enclosures;
that you inform the Persian Minister of this and take
the opportunity of expressing regret that the Persian
Government should have thought it desirable to hold the
language contained in the note of 24th September 1931
(see Dodd 1 s despatch No.572 of October 12th); and I will
tell Feroughi that a detailed report has been sent to
London as a result of which I hoped that Khonji would be
able to reach a settlement.
You may think it a bit late in the day to express
displeasure about the tone of the Persian note. I am
inclined to hink it is, especially as Feroughi provided
me v/ith an opportunity of doing so by referring to the
Khonji case in a note on an entirely different subject.
Yours ever,
(Sgd) R.H. HOARS.

This file contains papers relating to a legal dispute between Yusuf Lutfally Khunji and Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the ruler of Bahrain. The case concerns a joint venture between the aforementioned parties to set up and operate an ice-making plant in Bahrain at a spring owned by Mr. Khunji in 1922. Following the expiration of a five year monopoly on the manufacture and sale of ice in Bahrain, the two parties fell into a dispute on the plant.
The majority of the papers consist of legal correspondence between Mr Khunji's lawyers in Manchester and either the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. in Bahrain or the Financial Advisor to the Ruler of Bahrain, Charles Dalrymple Belgrave. Of note, however, are letters of intervention by the Foreign Minister of Iran through the Persian Legation in London, protesting the treatment of a Persian subject in British protected territory.
