These mixed tribunals, in matters within their exclusive jurisdiction, are taking the place of the consular courts which continue to exercise general criminal jurisdiction over their nationals, to decide matters involving the civil status of their nationals, and to adjudicate civil and commercial suits to which their nationals exclusively are parties. There are three tribunals of original jurisdiction (first instance), one each at Cairo, Alexandria, and Mansura, and a court of appeals at Alexandria. The judiciary is made up of foreign and Egyptian judges, at present 65 in number, 16 of whom serve on the bench of the court of appeals. Judgments in the lower courts are rendered by three judges, of whom two are foreigners, in the court of appeals by five judges, of whom three are foreigners. The foreign judges are appointed by the King of Egypt on the recommendation of their respective govern ments. The United States is represented in these courts by the following judges: Court of appeals: Jasper Yeates Brinton, of Pennsylvania Pierre Crabités, of Louisiana Robert Llewellyn Henry, of Louisiana PERMANENT COURT OF ARBITRATION (Hague convention of July 29, 1899) United States members: Elihu Root, of New York John Bassett Moore, of New York Charles Evans Hughes, of New York UNITED STATES COURT FOR CHINA (Act of June 30, 1906) Judge: Milton Dwight Purdy, of Minnesota Assistant clerk: Louis T.
