Document: Order granting hon. Nicasius de Sille his pay while acting as captain-lietenant

The foregoing petition having been read at the session was granted upon the following decision:

The director general and councilors disregard what the honorable Domine Drisius may have said to the petitioner’s wife, but each of them declare for themselves that they neither separately nor together have said such to Domine Drisius, much less ordered the same. With regard to what was promised to the petitioner, he is to submit specifications until the time that his honor stepped down from or left the vacated position concerning the extraordinary expenses, in the absence of the honorable lord director general, incurred on behalf of the Company, for which satisfaction shall be made when proper and appropriate. Ady ut supra.
