He was 94 years old and had been a resident of Egypt since 1921, when he was first appointed a judge of the Mixed Court system by the Egyptian monarch with the approyal of the United States Government.
Surviving are his widow, the former Geneva Febiger; a son, a daughter, two grandchildren and two great‐grandchildren.
Practiced Admiralty Law
Judge Brinton, a native of Philadelphia, obtained his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1904, practiced admiralty law in Philadelphia and served as an assistant United States attorney.
In World War I he received officer training at Plattsburgh, N.Y., served in the Provost ‘Marshal's office in Washington, and was judge advocate at Bordeaux, the great supply port for the American Expeditionary Force.
This experience led to his appointment to the Egyptian Mixed Courts, in which foreign jurists, retaining their citizenship, conducting all business in French, served as judges in most cases involving foreign nationals. The courts functioned as part of the Egyptian court system.
