Sir:-

With reference to your letter of February 7th

1906, I cun directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to
transmit to you, to be laid before the secretory of

State for India, the accompanying copy of a telegram

from Hie Majesty’s Charge d*Affaires at Tehran re-

-porting the Ill-treatment of a native of Bahrein by

the Deputy Governor of Llngah.

81r E. Grey Is of opinion that the serious

attention of the Persian Government should be called

to the arbitrary action of this official; and he

would suggest, for the consideration of Mr. Secretary

Morley, that, in view of the shadowy nature of the

authority exercised by the Persian Government In the

region In question, It would be expedient to adopt

locally some measures of a suitable character, and

that Major Cox should be asked by telegraph for hie

views

The Under Secretary of state,
India Office.
