Short Summary of the Legation Peace-Time Claims.
In the present volume as full and detailed an account as is possible is given
of the claims shown in the Legation schedule (Nos. 1 to 114), both peace-time
and war-time, setting out such information as can be gathered from the
correspondence and documents available concerning these claims lodged at
Tehran itself.
In view of the recent proposal (which Sir R. Hoare considers the Persian
Government will accept) to exclude from the contemplated arbitration non
contractual claims on both sides falling within the period from the 4 th August,
1914, to the 22nd February, 1921, it may be convenient to summarise briefly the
main facts of those which in this event would remain in the Legation group of
claims, viz., those occurring in times of peace. There is one exceptional case
(Claim No. 79) within the war period which seems to present features of a
semi-contractual kind.
It will be seen that, apart from correspondence, we have at present very
little actual documentary evidence in support of these claims. But in some
instances the evidence is known to be in the claimant’s possession; in others it
may be assumed to be in their possession; while in others we have Sir R. Hoare’s
assurance that it will be comparatively simple to obtain from the claimants
affidavits if these are thought necessary.
Claim No. 1 —Mr. J. P. Richards claimed 6,962-40 dollars, plus interest,
for the loss of 117 bales of wool destroyed in riots at Meshed on the
22 nd March, 1905. There seems no evidence that the Persian Government
granted compensation for losses occasioned by these riots, and there is evidence
that at the time they refused claims preferred by Russia on the ground that
Russia had rejected similar Persian claims for losses in riots in Southern Russia.
There is a long correspondence, and it was reported in 1927 that the Persian
Government at that time refused compensation to Richards on the ground that he
had not availed himself of his legal remedies. On the other hand, the annual
report for that year says that they made him a tentative offer of £300 in
settlement, which he refused, maintaining that his original claim was for £1,500,
apart from interest. The evidence furnished consists of copies of certificates
relating to the wool and its destruction. The originals are presumablv in
Mr. Richards’s possession.
