[ Barent Dir ]c[ ksen ][ , ba ]ker, Jan Eversen, [ and ][ Jan ] Cornelissen from Rotterdam testify at the request of Tonis Cray that the hogs of Pieter van [ der ] Linden have largely destroyed the plantation of maize and garden produce, so that it is almost worthless. He, Tonis Cray has had the fences inspected by Willem, the under-sheriff,[1] who passed them as constituting a sufficient protection.
Abraham Pietersen, the miller, likewise declares that last Sunday afternoon he heard Tonis Cray say to Pieter van der Linden’s wife: “Yoke your hogs, and I shall not complain of all the loss I have suffered.” Done the 26th of August 1643.
