Scope and Content Note
This series consists of writs of appeal from judgments made by the courts of New Amsterdam, Oostdurp (Westchester), Heemsteede, New Amstel, Wiltwyck (in the Esopus), Flushing (on Long Island), and Fort Orange. The records also include summonses and writs of mandamus. The council's decisions on these appeals appear in the council minutes (see record series A1809, Dutch Colonial Council Minutes). The writs of appeal originally constituted part four of volume 16 of the New York Historical Manuscripts in the New York State Library. The original records are in the Dutch language.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
