COURT MINUTES OF RENSSELAERSWYCK
1648-1652

[ 1 ] In the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we begin this court record.
{1}

        This day, Thursday, April 2 Anno 1648

  Hendrick Westerkamp is granted permission and consent to support himself in the
colony by day-labor or otherwise. He may therefore select a place, whereupon we
shall, resolve further.

  Jacob Adriaensz is ordered to serve out his term with Evert Pels for the space
of one year and to report to Evert Pels within four days from this date, under
penalty of forfeiting, the first time four guilders, for remaining in default
another four days eight guilders, and the third time sixteen guilders;, and of
receiving arbitrary punishment the fourth time.

  Jacob Lambertsz van Dorlandt having committed a crime in wounding Paulus Jansz,
Noorman, and the court having heard the director's complaint in the matter, the
delinquent is condemned to pay the director a fine of twenty-five guilders, with
costs, [the parties] being warned hereafter to keep the peace, [under penalty of]
condemnation. 




[Iv] {2}   Thursday, April 9 Anno 1648

  Whereas we observe the great rashness of Jacob Adriaensz in entering into
another man's service, haying been, namely, as appears from, the foregoing
judgment, first with Evert Pels and being now with Cornelis Segersz, which is a
matter that is not to be tolerated, therefore, leaving the foregoing judgment
unabated, we order that Jacob aforesaid for his rashness and in reparation of the
loss which Cornelis may suffer thereby shall pay to Cornelis Segersz, inclusive of
the earnest money and previous expenses, the sum of twenty-five guilders.
