Translation

At the session, the lord Cornelis van Tienhoven reported that yesterday, being the 13th of this month, by virtue of his office, he had 11 barrels of tobacco taken from the ship N. Amsterdam, anchored here at the roads before the fort, and brought into the Company’s warehouse; they had been shipped by Jacob Cohen, without declaring it or paying duty on it. Ady ut supra.
