The Times of Malta is an English-language daily newspaper in Malta. Founded in 1935, by Lord and Lady Strickland and Lord Strickland's daughter Mabel, it is the oldest daily newspaper still in circulation in Malta. It has the widest circulation and is seen as the daily newspaper of record of the Maltese press. The newspaper is published by Allied Newspapers Limited, which is owned by the Strickland Foundation, a charitable trust established by Mabel Strickland in 1979 to control the majority of the company.
Enoch Tonna replaced Edward Bencini as Police Commissioner. Yet, Tonna’s career as a Commissioner of Police was short lived (1974 - 1977).
This Tribunal, referred to throughout the available documentation as the "nuovo tribunale de debitori dell'Illustrissimo Ordine Gerosolimitano" was established in 1776.
The Tribunal Reverendae Fabricae Sancti Petri Urbe was active in Malta from 1583, September 19 until dissolution by the French in 1798. The Inquisitor of Malta served as Superintendent of the tribunal. The Superintendent undersigned the accounts, authorized the distribution of funds, settled internal disputes and judge cases. A Commissioner and Deputy of the Eminent Cardinals was appointed in Rome to administer the tribunal. The Commissioner also appointed additional local officials to the court, including a bursar, promotore, and notaries. In 1655, the Commissioner's office was suspended, and the Inquisitor of Malta took over the tribunal.
General Description - None of the volumes contain any description of the establishment, structure or remit of the court but on the basis of the cases contained within it appears that the Tribunal Signaturae Justitiae acted as an interim court of appeals between the dissolution of the Order's Courts in 1798 and the re-establishment of the court structure following the turn of the 19th century. The earliest case was presented in September 1799 and the last was presented in June 1800.
