The indigenous tribunals of the country are the Mehkemmehs, presided over by the Cadis. At the present time, they retain jurisdiction in matters of personal laAv (man-iage, succession, guardianship, &c. ) only, together with certain functions connected with the registration of title to land. In matters of personal law non-Mussulmans are, however, in general subject to their own Patriarchs or other religious chiefs. In other matters, natives are justiciable before the so-called Native Tribunals established in 1884-89. These now consist of 47 Summary Tribunals, each presided over by a single judge with (generally speaking) civil jurisdiction in matters up to £E100 in value, and criminal jurisdiction in offences punishable by fine or by imprison- ment up to three years, that is, police otfences and misdemeanours _; seven Central Tribunals each of the Chambers of which consists of three judges ; and a Court of Appeal at Cairo, about half of its members being European.
