Received a request from Tomas Stivens, asking that some of the meadows around Middelb: on Mespachtes should be measured again, as he claimed that he was wronged by the expansion.[i]

It is resolved, that the petitioner is permitted and allowed, at his cost, to have the sworn surveyor Jacques Corteljow resurvey the mentioned meadows and provide us with a report thereof. Dated as above.
