Life

Born in Akşehir in 1864/65 (AH 1281), Halil Kamil Efendi came from the Muslim (Müslüman) community. Schooling took 14 years, at the School of Law (Hukuk Mektebi).

Every annual entry from 1895/96 to 1898/99 places Halil Kamil in Al Hudaydah (Hudeyde), first as 2. Ticaret Mahkemesi Riyaseti, from 1897/98 as an assistant at a court of first instance (Bidayet Mahkemesi Muavini). The farthest post, Al Hudaydah, lay about 2,850 km from Akşehir, and fewer than 3 per cent of the 5,162 officials with a known birthplace and place of service served as far from the birthplace.

The salary went from 1,500 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to 1,800 in 1897/98, the peak, as Bidayet Mahkemesi Muavini in Al Hudaydah, when 96 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 77,400 kuruş, 3.2 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1898/99.
