Translation

Received the petition of Pieter Tarragon, farmer, remonstrating how Claes van Elslant the elder had sold him a parcel of land for which he could not deliver a conveyance because it didn’t belong to him; requesting that the director general and councilors, because it was Company land, be pleased to grant him a patent for it and to order Claes van Elslant at once to return the 50 guilders already paid to him. After deliberation it was recommended to place this in the hands of the fiscal in order to apprise him of this matter. Dated as above.
