The Council of the Fortress of Good Hope is reinforced with the Honourable Commander Hubert Hugo,18 according to usual evening prayer, having taken lecture from certain orders given by Their Honorable Gentlemen 17and contained in the same general letter of the 15th May 1671,19 concerning the arrest and dispatch of certain Dutchmen or other foreigners, having previously been at the service of the Honourable Company in the East Indies, and later serving other foreign potentates, as well as withholding them within the territory of the said Company or going to land there, and for that purpose submitting to the Honourable. Albert van Breugel as President, the Council having been informed that with the Danish return ship Magelos, which had arrived here yesterday, also came one Carste[n] the Judge, who had previously served the E. Compe. as skipper in India, and now served His Majesty of Denmark in the same capacity20 on the said soil, which today had been transported ashore and to the residence of citizen Wouter Mostaert, in accordance with the aforementioned order, by order of His E., had been appointed by the fiscal here, and furthermore given consideration, or the detention of the aforementioned. Danish skipper, on that account, did not act in such a way that it should have been done. It has been understood, after the preceding deliberation with common advice, that the arrest or detention of the supposed skipper here was done correctly and rightly, and in accordance with the strict order previously imposed by Our Lordships, the Principals, you agree.
Thus you are arrested in the Fortress of Good Hope, on the day and year mentioned above.
