The Commander having been out many times now and then, and having speculated well on the matter, and having inspected about a 5/4 hour's walk from the fort behind the Taeffelberch on a high hill in the plain between Steven and Jan Reijniersz's residences or buildings, he found a very suitable and situated place to liberate Comp's planted orchard, as well as his and the freemen's built and all-seeded lands, etc., to establish the principal and strongest redoubt, in order to be protected by Comp's. it is very necessary to guard and preserve the bestial. Therefore, the Council, having taken all necessary measures for this purpose and made an ocular inspection, judged the aforementioned place to be the most suitable and best situated, and therefore approved to fix this place there; also, since the masonry work on the embers has been done, the construction of the redoubt should begin at the very beginning: in order to have it ready and in full order before the advance of the Saldanhars and other nations deep out of the country (rumored to come towards the dry season); as well as those to be taken on a small royal court, 364, or 16 feet square, with two stories, flat on top, and a projecting parapet to be able to conveniently place two pieces, for the greater protection of this country's nation, which might otherwise march with their weapons over all the wooded lands, so that a good appearance can be made, as the aforementioned redoubt has a view from the beach of Taffel Bay down over all the occupied lands and the Comps. arcaert all the way to the forest hill, which is richly situated in the middle on the neck between both bays, except for Comps. wooded lands, which are situated in a valley behind another hill below the forest opposite Harman's building; and therefore only part of this redoubt can be inspected, but it can be preserved well with a small guardhouse, which can be placed within view of the said redoubt and furthermore can have under its view all the rest of the lands, situated in and between all the valleys, up to the aforementioned forest hill, including, but this one also the other guardhouse (on the southern river where the fort and the Duijnhoop redoubt can be seen, and the guardhouse further on the aforementioned redoubt, and that again on the first-mentioned guardhouse) is not yet considered entirely necessary, but after completion of the redoubt mentioned in this notice, first in the fort to understand the projected365 and by the E. Hr. Van Goens for approved warehouses, with the still unbricked side curtains, very necessary to store slaves below and corn in the lofts, so that, with God's blessing, the first state will be won this season, for which we believe our current opportunities will be somewhat limited.
Furthermore, considering the name of the aforementioned redoubt, it has been approved, in view of the situation, to be called the Corn Heap.
Noting that, in accordance with our resolution of November 6th, 1910, by making 15 shirts from a piece of Guinean linen, namely 12 men of 3 3/8 and 3 boys' clothes. of 3 ells, the men find 1/8 ell too short, and the boys have too many shirts left over. It is therefore understood that from now on all the shirts will be made the same size and perfect, namely of 3 1/2 ells each, sewn with some and all, and such 14 from a piece of Guinea linen, for the old sewing fee of 8 stuivers per shirt, to which more than 50 ells (the collars and oxcloths etc. are counted) will go, and in lieu of 30,366 to 26 stuivers can be given to the general public, as well as the usual advance of one hundred percent on the Guinean linen for the E. Compe. to be found, namely:
For 1 stucco of linen at 5 Ra. of 48 stuivers [^367] (costing purchases 6 guilders [^368]), as it is issued according to Indian customs, ƒ12:-
And for the additional wages, as aforementioned 8 stuivers per shirt, being ƒ5:12 for 14 stuccos.
Makes a total of ƒ17:12.
This, on top of the money paid for the additional wages, also includes approximately 12 percent advance for the E. Compe. [^369], namely falling on the above-mentioned 5 guilders. 12 stuivers ƒ0.12
Also, 14 shirts at 26 stuivers a piece bring in net ƒ18.04
For 1 piece of linen at 5 ra. of 48 stuivers [^370] (costing purchases 6 guilders [^371]), as it is spent according to Indian customs, ƒ12.00
And for the additional wages, as aforementioned 8 stuivers per shirt, being ƒ5.12 for 14 pieces.
Totaling ƒ17.12
This, on top of the money paid for the additional wages, also includes approximately 12 percent advance for the E. Compe. [^372], namely falling on the above-mentioned 5 guilders. 12 stuivers ƒ0.12
Also 14 shirts at 26 stuivers a piece bring in a net ƒ18.04
And with which the people benefit from this reduction in The price and enlargement of the shirts will be freely lightened and also accommodated more and better, as well as all dissatisfaction being averted. The bookkeeper of the pay books will also have to pay close attention to the measurements of the shirts mentioned above, ensuring that they, with their sleeves, have the full width of the linen, being a total of 1 1/2 yards with some, and all the same as mentioned above regarding the length.
Furthermore, given that some of the free people, who are not generally amicable towards us, and who nevertheless are just as bold and reluctant to take their foot and cart paths through and over Comps. sown lands, although their other suitable roads, on the sides, below, and above, are sufficient and are still indicated daily. Therefore, to prevent any damage to Comp's lands and to understand other significant matters, the following rules should be established:
That no one, neither freemen nor Comp's servants, shall be permitted to enter or ride on foot, horseback, or in wagons, on Comp's or its freemen's plowed, sown, or cultivated lands, on penalty of 5 ra the first time, and 10 ra the second time, in addition to compensation for the damage caused to Comp's or any other person's lands.
And no one shall destroy any fruit trees on penalty of life and property;
Also, anyone found to have cut, trampled, or otherwise damaged any crop in the field shall be banned from public work for a period of 12 months.
So, to prevent the breaking of the fences, pavers, or fences, everyone is required to keep a watchful eye on their animals and oxen, so that they do not come across any of the aforementioned fences, pavers, or fences, especially from Comps. Gardens or meadows, nor even plowed fields, on penalty of any animal found there that has caused any damage.
Therefore, those who keep animals and livestock are obligated to ensure that they do not cause any damage during their release or retrieval, on penalty of 6 ra. of 8 and compensation for the damage.
And in order to better enforce this order and other emanated placards, it has been approved by the Rev. Hr. Van Goens, appointed and sworn Secretary of this Council, Abraham Gabbema, hereby, upon approval and further approval of our Lord Masters, to deputize him as treasury and surveyor of the land provisionally, and to allow him to enjoy the emoluments available thereto: in order to be able to better oversee everything.
Thus done and resolved in the Fort of Good Hope on the date and year as above. Also, the extract herefrom, pronounced and posted in the appropriate place, is the second …376 following.
