The volumes record the service of documents.

The following columns are present:

• number;
• date of the act;
• nature/subject of the act;
• to whom and at whose request it is served;
• date of service;
• acknowledgement of service.

Registration constitutes the receipt for the act. Under Article 229 of the 1866 Consular Regulations, for a receipt to be valid it must contain:

• what act was received;
• the name of the person by whom the act is delivered or served;
• the year, day, month and hour of delivery or service;
• and the capacity of the person signing the receipt (whether the defendant themself or a relative/household member).

The appointment of assessor judges is governed by Article 69 of the Consular Law of 1866.

At the beginning of each year, the consul selects, from among persons resident in the consular district—preferably Italians—the number of judges and substitute judges deemed necessary for the proper administration of justice.

The scope of criminal jurisdiction is determined by articles 112, 113 and 114 of the Consular Law of 1866, which provide that:

• the consul acts as judge of misdemeanours committed by Italians within the consular district or on board merchant vessels flying the national flag (art. 112);
• consular courts act as judges of offences committed by Italians within the consular district or on board merchant vessels flying the national flag (art. 113);
• and the Assise Courts of Ancona and Genoa (Ancona for Egypt) have jurisdiction over the trial of crimes (art. 114).
