The Shanghai Mixed Court

The Shanghai Mixed Court got underway in 1863 to mediate cases between the British and Chinese in Shanghai, initially criminal cases but quickly also hearing civil cases too. It’s remit grew to include any cases brought by Chinese within the International Settlement, as an alternative court to those of the Qing. I think the Mixed Court started life in the British Consulate on the Bund but then moved to these premises on Nanking Road.
