On February 15, 1646

Claes van Elslandt, attorney for Mr. Wolter van Twiller, plaintiff, vs. Sybolt Clasen, who married the widow of the late Aert Teunesen of Putten, defendant, for restitution of fl. 123 paid to Aert Teunesen. Plaintiff demands proof as to whom and for what the money was disbursed. Defendant says that the fl. 123 were included in the item of fl. 273 adjusted with plaintiff, as appears by plaintiff's own account, and that he can not furnish any particulars now, as the person who expended it is dead and he denies that he owes fl. 150.

The director and council having seen the written demand and defendant's verbal answer and that the widow knows nothing of this matter, it is therefore ordered that the account shall remain unsettled until Mr. van Twiller furnish further explanation, according to which the parties must regulate themselves.
