Its chief officer, the Castellano, was a Knight of the Order, and the court personnel consisted of a civil judge, a criminal judge, an exchequer, a vice-exchequer, two notaries, and several clerks. It was the largest existing tribunal on the island, and contains considerable information about daily life on Malta. The tribunal heard both civil suits and criminal trials concerning domestic violence, assault, theft, fights, or appointment of guardians for children. A separate Appellate Court, the Sacra Audientia, heard appeals to its judgments. The Knights of Malta were exempt from its jurisdiction. |
