Received a petition of Antonij Jansen van Salee, showing that on the 26th of September in the year 1651 he had bought the meadow, which now was granted to the new village of Utrecht, and that he paid the wilden ƒ135 for it; he requested that a part of it, located near his house, be granted to him.

After deliberation it is resolved to pass this on to those of the village of Utrecht, and if it is found that the petitioner does not have any meadow for making hay, a portion of the said meadow shall be granted to him, together with others. Dated as above.
