English translation
When surveying the Company's warehouses, it was found that many and diverse goods had been partially spoiled by moths due to weight limitations, without any apparent chance of ever being disposed of. It was decided, therefore, to protect the Company from further loss, that they would be sold publicly to the highest bidder at the first suitable opportunity.
Thus resolved in the Castle of Good Hope on the day and year of the aforesaid.
