The Council, reinforced by the chiefs of the ships Amersfoort, Walvis and Zirckzee, has received and summarized the pieces and further information regarding some dirty matters that the sargeant of the yacht Zirckzee is said to have committed, along with a Hendrick van Straten on this ship. It has been seen that little clarity can yet be obtained about it, as well as that further investigation and investigation still involves a lot of work, and the said chiefs would be neglected in their necessary shipwork due to the daily attendance of the deliberations, which would greatly hinder their speedy progress on their journey to Batavia. Thus, the aforementioned The Council, in the service of the E. Compe., understands not to pursue this matter further here, but to refer it to My Lords, the Governor-General and Councillors of India in Batavia, to be dealt with as they deem appropriate.
And to prevent any feared unrest on the aforementioned Zirckzee, it is also understood that the suspended sargant on the ship Amersfoort with two Cape prisoners will be transferred, and the person of Hendrick van Straten on the Walvis with a similar two Cape prisoners, along with the documents and papers heard by each. Thus done and resolved in the Fort of Good Hope, date above.
