Life

Halil Nese Bey was born in Istanbul in 1830/31 (AH 1246) into the Muslim (Müslüman) community; the father's occupation was "Eski Maliye Naziri". Schooling took four years, at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

Unpaid work as a mülazım (apprentice) lasted one year. The annual lists begin in 1866/67, with Halil Nese as Istinaf Basmumeyyizligi in Istanbul, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1876/77, with a rise to Bidayet Ceza Dairesi Azasi in 1871/72. Next came Beyoğlu and Üsküdar from 1877 to 1880, then a return to Beyoğlu from 1880 to 1884. From 1884 to 1893 the annual entries place Halil Nese again in Istanbul, first as Bidayet Ceza Dairesi Azasi, from 1891/92 as Istinaf Mahkemesi Azasi.

The salary went from 3,000 kuruş a month in 1866/67 to 4,000 in 1871/72, the peak, as Bidayet Ceza Dairesi Azasi in Istanbul, when 98 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 28 years pay ended below where it began, 2,800 kuruş against 3,000; fewer than 7 per cent of the 2,010 officials paid for 15 years or more ended as low. On average the pay stood in the top 4.6 per cent of each year's paid officials; only 25 of the 3,805 officials paid for five years or more stood as high. The final annual entry is for 1892/93.
