The first annual entry, for 1878, places Mehmet Esad in Çorlu as Bidayet Mahkemesi kâtip-i sânisi, where the entries run to 1879/80. Next came Istanbul from 1880 to 1885. For 1885 to 1892 the lists have no entry. The last entries, from 1892 to 1897, name Mehmet Esad as Adliye Nezareti Sicill-i Ahval Şubesi kalem memuru, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1893 to 1896.
Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1878 to a peak of 1,080 in 1896/97, as Bidayet Mahkemesi Muddei Umumi Muavini, when 82 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.
