The plaintiff requests a sum of thirty-four guilders and sixteen stivers in sewant for beverages consumed at his house when they were interned for debts.

The defendants say that they are not obligated to pay since they were interned without cause.

I, the undersigned, acknowledge to have been paid by Hendrick Kip according to the above judgment.

We, the underwritten Fransois Criger and Marten [ Roseman ], hereby declare at the request of Hendrick [ Kip ][  and  ][ Abraham ] van Nas, curators of the estate of [ Elmerhuysen ] Cleyn for general advice, that we shall be satisfied in all respects [      ] aforesaid estate, with everything granted by the aforesaid curators and by Mr. Gerrit van Tricht, their surrogate on Manhattan, for the good of the aforesaid estate and pertaining to the agreement dated 29 March 1661,^[i] which was approved before the notary, Salamon La Chair and several witnesses, [      ] to receive our payments there from Mr. Gerrit van Tricht together with other creditors who have been determined by our surrogate on Manhattan. Done in the colony of New Amstel on the South River of New Netherland, 13 March 1662.
