Life and register readings

Mustafa Sıdkı Efendi was born in Elbistan in 1875/76 (AH 1292). Work began in 1905/06, at about 30, on a first salary of 1,000 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1905/06, names Mustafa Sıdkı as Bidayet Mahkemesi Müddeiumumi Muavini, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1908 to 1910 give a second post, in Ohrid as Bidayet Mahkemesi Müddeiumumi Muavini. At the same time, from 1909/10, the lists also place Mustafa Sıdkı in Krujë (Akçahisar) as Bidayet Mahkemesi Müddeiumumi Muavini. Alongside, the lists for 1909 to 1913 give a second post, in İskilip as Bidayet Mahkemesi Ceza Dairesi Reisi. Alongside, the lists for 1912/13 give a second post, in Ceyhan as Bidayet Mahkemesi Reisi.

Pay rose from 1,000 kuruş a month in 1905/06 to a peak of 1,200 in 1909/10, in İskilip, when three in four paid officials earned less. In all, nine years of salary come to 120,000 kuruş, 1.8 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1912/13.
