Since the usual time to resume the journey to Mauritius is now daily approaching, and to that end the Quartell has arrived here, it has been agreed to depart from here by the 20th of this month.
Since it has been agreed for quite some time to transfer the cellar of white brandy to the favored innkeepers for 25 Rijcxdaalders, as indicated by the Honourable Councillor Extraordinary and Commissioner Sibrand Abbema, it has been resolutely decided, and that, in view of the strong complaint of the innkeepers, it would be detrimental to them to receive it from the Honourable Company at such a price. and to sell it again to the small measure, but that we were forced to accept it, as the Company was short of red brandy, and noting that we were seconded from the country, we can now find no reason why the brandy should not be restored to its previous price so that the Company could enjoy those profits again. It is therefore understood that each cellar of white brandy will henceforth be sold from the Company's warehouse for 30 rixdollars.
Thus arrested and resolved in the Castle of Good Hope, date as above.
