Translation

Warnaer Wessels, indicating at the session that he has been informed that the director general and councilors intended to place a cargo master[i] or examiner over the goods and merchandise being imported and exported from here, requests to be favored therewith.

After due deliberation it was decided: The director general and councilors find the request necessary and consider the petitioner also qualified for the position and capable thereto; but before it is completely disposed of, the lord fiscal is requested and ordered immediately to look into the orders and instructions demanded and to place something thereof in the hands of the director general and councilors at the first opportunity. Dated as above.
