Scope and content
Criminal jurisdiction, exercised by the consul and the consular courts, continued until 1937, when the regime of the capitulations was abolished.
The criminal files, arranged chronologically, are therefore very numerous and constitute, together with civil matters, the core of the Cairo consular archive.
