Life and register readings
Mustafa Seyfi Efendi was born in Kütahya in 1865/66 (AH 1282). Work began in Kütahya in 1881/82, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1881/82, with Mustafa Seyfi as Cinayet Mahkemesi Kalemi mülazımı in Kütahya, the birthplace. For 1882 to 1891 the lists have no entry. The annual lists then follow Mustafa Seyfi to Istanbul from 1891 to 1898. Alongside, the lists for 1897/98 give a second post, in a post with no place named as a policeman (Polis). The last post was in Enez (İnoz) in 1898/99.
The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 300 kuruş a month in 1891/92, as Polis in Istanbul, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over eight years the salaries add up to 28,200 kuruş, 72 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1898/99.
