Document: Order on a petition of Jacob Schellinx to be liberated from arrest

Received a petition of Jacob Schellincx, showing that yesterday he was imprisoned by Walewijn van der Veen (as having power of attorney for his uncle to demand account from him); and whereas he had intended to depart with the first ship to the fatherland in order to settle accounts with his uncle there, he requested that he be released from imprisonment.

It is resolved, to hand this to Walewijn vander Veen in capacity as plaintiff, and further, to have the case come up where it is appropriate. Dated as above.
