Translation

Jacob Stoffelsz appeared at the session, and requested payment of f200, which he said was due to him from the partnership of the Lagarce.

The director general and councilors respond that nothing can be done therein as long as the legality of the goods of the claimed prize remains in question, and the same has not been declared a prize by a higher court. Ady ut supra.
