Bond of the joint owners of the privateer La Garce for the settlement of all claims arising from the capture of the bark De Hoop
We, the undersigned, joint owners of the frigate La Garce, whereof Willem Blauevelt is captain, offer ourselves as sureties for the share which each is to receive pro rata of the goods brought in by Dirck Claes Boot with the small bark called De Hoope, captured on the 30th of January A° 1648; and in case any claims on that account should hereafter arise, we shall submit to that end to all courts and judges, to whom we also submit all our movable and immovable property, each individually for the share which he receives, and no more. Thus done, without fraud or deceit, the 9th of July A° 1649, in New Amsterdam, New Netherland.
