4. Text of Act

1. Jews in Lemberg have the right to conclude adoption contracts even if the child to be adopted is not registered with the Lemberg Jewish community, but belongs to a foreign Jewish community. …
4. This right of the adoptive father to keep his adopted child with him is, however, only limited by the duration of the paternal authority and, as a rule,… is conditioned by the minority of the adopted child, and even if the latter enjoys the benefits of the Lemberg Jewish community during this time, the latter is nevertheless to be regarded as a less legal member of the Lemberg community, as the latter enjoys these benefits only through his adoptive father. …
5. This stay must therefore end at the moment the adopted child reaches the age of majority. The adopted child must therefore immediately leave his temporary stay in Lemberg after reaching the age of majority and return to his original Jewish community, or submit a special request for further official action due to an extension of his stay in Lemberg or due to incorporation into another Jewish community. …
8. In order to prevent underage Jewish adopted children from other communities from sneaking into the Lemberg community, it is necessary that when the adoption contract is confirmed by the state office, the additional clause is made that the stay of the underage adopted child in Lemberg is limited to the duration of the child's minority and that during this time the child is not to be considered as part of the Lemberg Jewish community, but remains a member of its original community and must return there after reaching adulthood.

Whereas doubts have arisen as to how the long-standing prohibition, renewed by Art. 28 of the law of April 25, 1828, against the purchase and re-sale of real estate by Israelite co-religionists, relates to the pertinent sections of the law regarding the legal standing of creditors in foreclosure proceedings, and how this may inform the treatment of cases in which third parties may attempt to circumvent said prohibition through acquisition of claims in the course of such proceedings, the Royal Ministries of Justice and the Interior fell compelled, in order to dispel these doubts, to issue the following clarifications, for the benefit and guidance of all county governments and municipal assemblies: (1) According to the unambiguous intention of the law, Israelites who acquire claims with the intention of circumventing said prohibition, so that they may have standing as litigants during foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings, thus making them de facto resellers, may not claim the exception the law makes only for creditors who find themselves into such proceedings unexpectedly. (2) Accordingly, this legal exception only applies, if the Israelite in question buys real estate with the sole intention to have his genuine claim as a creditor satisfied, or to minimize his loss in this capacity. […] (3) The question whether it can be assumed that the Israelite had the intention of circumventing the law, as mentioned in Section 1, shall be answered according to the particulars of each case.

Commentary from other sources: 1) “During Russia's occupation of Wallachia and Moldavia, a capable Russian administrator by the name of Count Pavel Kiselev took steps to rid the principalities of Turkish inefficiency and corruption...Probably his most important contribution to Romania, however, was to oversee the drafting and ratification of the Règlement Organique or Regulamente Organice (Organic Regulations) — one for each principality. These two charters (or constitutions) were the first fundamental laws in the principalities and gave identical political structures to both Wallachia and Moldavia. The Organic Regulations were put into effect in July 1831 in Moldavia and in January 1832 in Wallachia. They remained in effect for about 25 years, until the end of the Crimean War (1854-1856) and the Congress of Paris (1856)...Unfortunately, Chapter 3, Section 94 of the Organic Regulations was blatantly anti-Semitic. It required that Jews register with the local authorities, specifying their occupation. The purpose of this requirement was to allow the state to expel any Jews who were unable to demonstrate their ‘usefulness’ to the satisfaction of the government. It was also a way for non-Jewish merchants to eliminate the competition.” “Modern History 1830-1839; Organic Regulations.” Online article

In cases where foreign Israelites who are not tolerated in Vienna settle here after converting to the Catholic religion and request permission to stay here for their wives and children who remain Jewish (given that the marriage was not dissolved beforehand), equity and humanitarian considerations require that the cohabitation of such Christian and Jewish spouses should not be prevented.
In the case of temporary residence permits to be issued for this purpose, legal identification must be requested in advance as to where the family must find accommodation after the death of the father of the family, and therefore, if this occurs, their removal [from Vienna] must be insisted upon.

In order to rectify, as much as possible, this unjust situation, committees will write down in official logs: the property and trade of each Jew, for those who do not have any property or trade, and who, without having any useful craft, live without a purpose, should be deported from the country, and any others like them will no longer be allowed to enter Moldavia.
