Because the magistrates failed to appear, pursuant to the summons, they remain in default. The plaintiff is ordered to provide the defendants, the magistrates, with an authentic copy of his complaint. The aforesaid magistrates are then ordered to appear this coming first of April and reply, upon pain of a second default. Done at the session of the director-general and high council held in New Amsterdam in New Netherland; present: the entire council. Dated as above.
