Mr. Garnett had come down to Tezd on a special mission in company with
the gendarmerie In -view of the situation then existing in Kerman and of
fears expressed by the gendarmerie that they were going to meet with a hostile
reception from the Bakntiaris on arriving at Kerman, His Majesty’s Consul
recommended that the representatives of His Majesty’s Legation should not
appear to abandon the gendarmerie on the tbreslihold of Kerman and that he
should come on with them to Kerman. The suggestion was| adopted.
Mr. Garnett was able to convey the Legation’s views of their respective func­
tions and positions to Mr. Leccffre and the Swedish officers, and also to discuss
other matters of political importance.
(Note.—Tho ucufual length of ttJs report nray porhaps bo justified cn the ground*, firstly, that do full
conspectus of Br’nLb interests and of the work of His Bri:annic Majesty's Consulate in this quarter of tbs
“British Sphere” of Persia appears over to havo been given in the past, and secondly, that the year under review
has seen the introduction of several important developments in the administration of the province, wh'ch may
have far-icacbing effects on British interests.)
