Based on the interdiction of the person of unsound mind, Daoud Salman Bano, and the letter from the Presidency of the Jewish Community in Baghdad
dated 3/31/1949, Rabbi Yaqub Ezra Madhfi appeared and stated, to the best of his knowledge, the interdiction of the person of unsound mind,
Daoud Salman Bano, and that he was nominated by the Presidency of the Jewish Community in Baghdad for the guardianship over the aforementioned
person of unsound mind, and that he agrees to undertake the matters of guardianship over him and pledges to preserve his affairs and rights. The
two witnesses, Ishaq Ibrahim and Salman Meir Bano, appeared, and upon their testimony, each of them testified
individually and by way of reporting that Rabbi Yaqub Ezra Madhfi is a trustworthy man with a social standing in the community
and is among those who can be relied upon in matters of guardianship and others, and that he is neither wasteful nor extravagant. Accordingly, and based on the letter of the Presidency
of the Jewish Community No. 942 dated 3/31/1949 and the personal evidence, I have decided to interdict the person of unsound mind,
Daoud Salman Bano, and appoint Rabbi Yaqub Ezra Madhfi as his guardian to manage his affairs, preserve his rights, and consult
legal and administrative channels and other departments regarding what concerns him and pertains to him until his recovery, provided that he does not sell or mortgage
any of his property except with permission from this court. What occurred was recorded on 4/3/1949.
