XXXVII. INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNALS OF EGYPT.

In 1876, as the result of negotiations between the Ottoman and Egyptian Governments and the rous Christian powers having representatives at Cairo, certain courts were created in Egypt for the l of civil and commercial causes arising between natives and foreigners of different nationality, s well as all questions of real estate between any person and suits of foreigners against the Egyptian Government and members of the Khedival family. These mixed tribunals, in civil matters within their exclusive jurisdiction, superseded the consular courts. A mixed tribunal consists of five judges, three of whom are foreigners and two natives. The foreign judges are appointed by the Khedive on the recommendation of the great powers, each of which is represented by from one to three judges. There are three tribunals of original jurisdiction (first instance), one each at Cairo, Alexandria, and ilansura, and a court of appeals at Alexandria. The United States is represented in these courts by the Ellowing judges:

Court of appeals.-Somerville P. Tuck, of New York (appointed 1908; appointed to court of first instance 1894).
