M! Jacob Vuges, pltf. V/s Samuel Etsal, deft., says, he hired a house from deft. And agreed together, that the deft. Should make for the house such as windows, suitable cellar, etc., whereupon he was to pay him fl. Zoo in beavers, which he has done, according to receipt exhibited in Court, which the deft. Has not performed. Deft. Answers, he caused the house to be raised in order to have a proper cellar, but promised no pro vision cellar and caused glass to be put in the window panes, but as the survey was not made, they were again taken out. The Court orders the deft. To bring the window sashes back again to the place he took them from, and the case in question was further referred to Hendrick Kip the Elder and Pieter Rudolfus to reconcile parties if possible, or otherwise to report to the Court.

Capt. Roselyn, pltf. V/s Aflien Porey, deft., demands in writing from the deft. Payment of fl. 4914: as she has power from her hus band, to act against the opponents, who excite dispute; for this purpose that the arrest be declared valid, which was provisionally instituted against the goods in the Custom house and elsewhere, and exhibits in Court the a/c. Deft. Says, she has no power from her husband, nor does it appear on her husband's books, that he is indebted to Roselyn. The Court orders copy of the a/c to be furnished to party to answer thereunto at the next Court day.
