Only Jews would perjure themselves if making false statements about their wealth, since no other group was required to affirm the accuracy of their ledgers with an oath.

8. Notes	Researcher *Most localities had a pre-determined “number of spots” called “Familienstellen” which could be assigned to Jews. This number could not be surpassed. When Jews (sons) wanted to get married, they were required to apply for their own ‘spot.’ Often, the spot was granted to the first born after his father’s death while second or third-born sons had to either apply and be granted their own spot or leave the country.

Therefore, notice is hereby given that, while it goes without saying that Jews should not neglect their worship, it shall be determined by the penitentiary wardens when and how long during the day, for the duration of their holy days, Jewish prisoners, under sufficient caution, may comply with their Sabbath and holidays.
