year pending certain enquiries which it was considered desirable to make. 1 he
number of midwives given above only includes those midwives who are registered on
a regular certificate or diploma issued by a recognised institution. The provinciaj
midwives are not included in this figure, but are registered separately. Of the 327
persons authorised as above under the law regulating the practise of medicine and its
allied branches, 207 were Egyptians and 39 were Ottoman subjects, whilst 81 were

Public Health Laboratories,
486. The total number of examinations carried out in the laboratories during
the year was 20,075, as compared with 18,411 in 1920, showing, as usual, a steady
increase. A considerable extension of the laboratories was completed during the
year, and the new rooms taken over in the autumn.
487. The Public Health Department has entered into negotiations with the
London School of Tropical Medicine with a view to obtaining the services of a
professor of that school for a period during the coming year for investigation work
into the aetiology of ankylostoma and bilharzia. Professor Lieper visited Egypt at
the end of the year to make preliminary arrangements, and it is hoped that the work
will begin soon. Arrangements have also been made with the governing body of the
Lister Institute for two members of their staff to conduct typhus fever researches in
the public health laboratories for five months in 1922, and this work will begin early
in February.
488. Three Egyptian bacteriologists were given special leave for study in
Europe; they attended courses in the London School of Tropical Medicine and two
obtained the diploma in tropical medicine of the University of London. One of these
bacteriologists also attended courses in public health and carried out bacteriological
research at the luster Institute.

Chapter VII.— Justice.
79. Personal.
490. The following changes took place during the year 1921 in the higher
personnel of the Ministry of Justice : The office of Minister was vacated by Ahmed
Pasha Zulficar on the fall of Tewfik Pasha Nessim's Ministry in March, and was
assumed, on the formation of the Ministry of Adly Pasha Teken, by Abdel Fattah
Pasha Yehia, the Under-Secretary of State. The post of Under-Secretary was
accepted somewhat unwillingly by Mohammed Pasha Ibrahim, the Procureur general,
and the place of the latter was taken by Mustapha Pasha Fathy.* These arrange
ments remained in effect at the end of the year, save that on the fall of Adly Pasha's
Ministry in December Abdel Fattah Pasha of course relinquished the post of
Minister, and was not replaced till after the end of the period under review.
491. In the course of the year an additional post was created for a foreign judge
in the Mixed Court of Appeal and was filled by the promotion of Judge Pereira e
Cunha (Portuguese). The number of foreign judges in the above-mentioned court is
now restored to its pre-war figure of ten; and the distribution of seats according to
nationalities is as follows ; British three, French, Italian, American, Greek, Belgian,
Norwegian, Portuguese one each. The vacancy created in the Mixed Court of Appeal
at the end of the last judicial year by the retirement of Mr. S. P. Tuck (American)
and the seat vacated this year by M.^Bernardi (Italian) have been filled respectively
by the appointment of Mr. Jaspar Yeates Brinton, and M. G. Baviera, formerly judge
of the Mixed Court of Cairo. The retirement, in November, of Adly Mazloum Pasha,
the Senior Egyptian Judge of the Mixed Court of Appeal, left vacant a seat which
was filled by the appointment of Shker Ahmad Bey, formerly a judge of the Cairo
Mixed Tribunal.
492. At the end of the year Judge Nyholm (Dane), President of the Mixed
Court of Cairo, retired on appointment to a seat on the Permanent Court of
International Justice at The Hague.
This gentleman has since (in 1922) become Minister of Justice in Sarwat Pasha’s Ministry.
