Life and register readings

Hüseyin Mazhar Efendi was born in Harput in 1873/74 (AH 1290). Work began in 1895/96, at about 22. The first annual entry, for 1895/96, names Hüseyin Mazhar as Adliye Nezareti Umur-ı Cezaiye Kalemi mülazımı, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1896 to 1899. Alongside, the lists for 1902 to 1905 give a second post, in Kartal as Bidayet Mahkemesi müstantık muavini.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1899/1900 to a peak of 400 in 1904/05, in Kartal, when 42 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over six years the salaries add up to 20,400 kuruş, 70 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1904/05.
