At the request of Cornelis [ van der Hoykens ], fiscal, Thomas Broe[ n ][ , corporal ], aged 31 years, testifies that he was on duty when Maryn[1] was placed in confinement for the ugly assault made on the honorable director; that one Dirck Cornelisen, carpenter, came by who took off his, Broen’s, hat while he was standing on guard, saying: “You are a servant of the Company; I will pledge the hat for drink;” and took it away with him. Also that he nailed the hat on a post in front of his house and put a stone inside the hat. All of which he offers to confirm by oath. Done the 11th of April anno 1643, in New Netherland.
