Appeared personally the Jew Calo Karpenkopf, a trader in victuals, sixty-six years of age, residing at number 2185, companioned by Moszek Korenblum, a trader, twenty-six years of age, residing at number 1802, and Hersz Granat, a jeweller, seventy-five years of age, residing at number 1865, and he presented to us a child of the male sex, who had been born on the twenty-ninth day of July of the current year, at the hour of six in the evening, in his apartment, declaring that he had been begotten from him and Blima the daughter of Szymon, his wife, thirty-two years of age.
