Jan Hendricksen van Gunst, plaintiff, against Willem Doeckles, defendant. The plaintiff says that the defendant now, on the last day that one still gives 6 sewant beads for a stiver, wants to pay for one installment of his purchased farm with 6 sewant beads for a stiver, and this in money of inferior quality. The defendant replies that he paid the money yesterday, the 20th of November, that it was examined by order of the burgomaster, and that it was found to be fine except for one bundle which was made good.

Having heard the parties, the plaintiff is referred to the order given by the burgomaster and the sentence followed thereupon on the 20th of this month.

Done at Fort Amsterdam in N: Netherland, the 21st of November 1658.
