"It was on this occasion that Mirza Aqa Khan, the Grand Vazir, in order
to distribute the responsibility of punishment and to lessen the chances of
blood-revenge, conceived the extraordinary idea of assigning the several

classes. The Foreign Secretary killed one, the Home Secretary another,
the Master of the Horse a third, and so on." (Lord Curzon's "Persia and
the Persian Question," p. 402, note 2.)
