Whereas Warnaer Wessels, farmer of the tapper excise of Long Island, demonstrates the fraud that could occur if the water certificates were granted as previously by the farmers of export fees, the aforesaid farmers messrs. Paulus vander Beecq and company were summoned to the session and given notice that they would issue no more water certificates for wine, beer, and distilled spirits that are exported to Long Island, and this only to prevent smuggling, which they promised to observe. Done at Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, 27th of December anno 1656.
