protection of God, and remain your honors' humble servants; in the margin was written: Done at the session at City Hall in New Amsterdam, 23 November 1654; and was signed: P. L. vander Grift, Wilh. Beeckman, Oloff Stevensz, Pieter Wolfersz.[221]

The substance of the foregoing petition has been sufficiently answered by the reply to their petition entered in this book on folio 197, therefore no further reply is necessary.[222]

It has been so resolved in session that, whereas no bidders have appeared,[223] the tapsters' excise for wines and beers consumed in this city next year is to be farmed out to the highest bidder next Monday at the house of Sergeant Daniel Litschoe, which shall be announced by public notice. Done at New Amsterdam, 25 November 1654.
