NEW SCOTLAND YARD,

29th day of May 191 1

With reference to the application of Davis Tiskovsky, a Tailor, of 2 Mount Street, Whitechapel, E. for a certificate of naturalisation.

I beg to report that the declarations of residence have been enquired into found correct.

The Sureties are respectable and responsible persons, householders and natural-born British Subjects, all of whom speak of Memorialist as a respectable man.

Memorialist appears to be a respectable man, and according to enquiry has for five years, within the period of the eight years last past, resided in the United Kingdom, intends to remain permanently, and seeks to obtain the rights and capacities of a natural-born British Subject.

The signatures of Memorialist and Sureties have been acknowledged as genuine, and the age stated by Memorialist appears to be correct.

Memorialist speaks and reads the English language fairly well. He cannot write it from dictation but an exercise copied by him from a newspaper cutting is attached.

The residence of Memorialist consists of six rooms, a kitchen and scullery for which he pays rental of 15/6 per week and £3. 10s. 10d. per quarter for rates and taxes. Two rooms on the ground floor are sublet as workshops at a rental of 7/- per week and one room on the first floor, which is used as a living room, is sublet at 5/- per week.

Memorialist's rooms are fairly well furnished, are kept clean and in good sanitary condition.

He has six children under age residing with him, all of whom appear to be healthy and well cared for.

With reference to Home Office Minute: From enquiries I have ascertained that the cause of the delay in submitting papers to Home Office was owing to the fact that the Referee, Isaac Abrahams on two occasions failed to attend at the Solicitor's Office to sign his declaration, which was eventually signed by him there on the 31st March, 1911.
