Note 058
From Chapter 64 of the Decline & Fall

Leunclav. Annal. Turcici, p. 318, 319. The venality of the cadhis has long been an object of scandal and satire; and if we distrust the observations of our travellers, we may consult the feeling of the Turks themselves (D'Herbelot, Bibliot. Orientale, p. 216, 217, 229, 230).
