| Notes | Since 1903 when Mr. Grahame took up an appointment of Consul at Shiraz the local authorities have exerted the utmost ingenuity to evade carrying out the stipulations of the Convention. Strong pressure locally and frequent reference to His Majesty's Minister have been necessary. During the year seven letters of manumission were issued by the Fars authorities at the request of His Majesty's Consul in factor of slaves who had taken refuge in the Residency. All of the slaves thus manumitted had been imported from overseas subsequent to 1882 and were claimed as property of Persian masters. Not entirely clear if all mentioned came from Africa. |
