payments by the gap between the 1st July, 1923, and the 30th June, 1924. If the
claim is pursued it seems necessary that we should have a clear and detailed
statement of the position, and this would apparently have to be got either from
our Legation at Tehran or from the Government of India through the India
Office, preferably the latter, since it is likely to be more fully documented.
The above constitute all the Legation peace-time claims of any substance.
There are two others (Nos. 94 and 98), one for a robbery by a Mesopotamian tribe,
who had crossed the frontier in 1923 and stolen goods valued by a Bagdad firm
at 450 rupees Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf. ; and the other for the alleged robbery from a member of the
Imperial Bank of Persia near Isfahan in 1911 of articles valued at 8,421 krans,
but there is nothing furnished on which these claims could be properly based.

Consulate Claims.
(With the exception of those arising during the War Period, i.e., from
August 4, 1914, to February 1921.)
The claims are returned by the fourteen consulates in three separate
categories, viz. :—
(a) Those deemed supported by adequate evidence.
(h) Those deemed supported by inadequate evidence.
(c) Those materially lacking in evidence.
But, as shown in the introductory remarks on these claims, this classification
cannot be wholly relied on. For the purpose of the index and the statement of
these claims which is within, however, the classification has been retained, and
each claim is indicated accordingly as (a), (b) or (c) as returned by the consuls.
The index and the statement is in two parts, viz. : (1) Highway Robbery
Claims and (2) Other Miscellaneous Claims.
