§ Mr. TURNERThe information is as follows:

Mr. A. HENDERSONThe Mixed Courts in Egypt were set up in 1876 after the conclusion of separate agreements between Egypt and certain foreign Powers. The agreement with this country was signed at Alexandria on 31st July, 1875; an annex was added on 10th February, 1876. The original agreements stipulated that no change should take place for five years, and that after that period the Powers might either return to the former order of things or consider other combinations in agreement with the Egyptian Government. The provisions of these agreements were extended successively up to October, 1921, when, as the result of an agreement reached between 683W the Egyptian Government and the Powers concerned, a decree was published by the Egyptian Government extending the powers of the Mixed Courts for an indefinite period, the date of the expiration of their powers to he fixed by a decree published in the Official Journal at least a year before the appointed date.
