Whereas Jacob Kip, former secretary of the inferior bench of justice of this city, has requested and obtained his dismissal, it is necessary that his position be filled with another capable person, for which, among others, for the present time the person of Themotius Gabry has offered himself. Therefore, the director general and councilors, trusting in his ability and capacity in that position, have admitted and commissioned the same thereto, as they hereby do, for which he is allowed such a salary as his predecessor has had, namely: two hundred-fifty guilders annually. Done at Amsterdam in New Netherland, the 13th of June 1657.
