According to annual custom, the respective colleges have been changed to make the election from the aforementioned nomination of double the number of persons drawn up by each college and delivered in Council. Therefore, the double nominated number of orphan masters has been substituted for the now absent one. on behalf of the garrison, bookkeeper Philip Theodoor Welcker, and from the township, in place of Willem van Dieden, citizen Jan Dircksz d’ Beer.53
Similar to the previous nomination of a double number of persons to a Town Council, in place of the outgoing, unanimously elected Willem van Dieden, who was appointed lieutenant of the civilian militia, and furthermore, the outgoing Town Councillor Harmen Gresnicht54 was elected in his place as lieutenant of the township. According to customary practice, the township should subsequently be presented on the first day of the following year, and on that day they should appear in arms at the Castle. However, considering that the situation is ripe, As a consequence, at least in the most fundamental respect, this cannot be postponed. Therefore, this has been postponed until a closer and more suitable opportunity arises.
Also, in place of the outgoing lithograph of the Board of Commissioners of Marriage Affairs and to fill the place of the departed Gerrit Victor, Joannes Pretorius and Cornelis Stevensz have been appointed.
Furthermore, in place of Harmen Gresnicht, the outgoing Borgerrat Joannes Pretorius has been appointed fire master to establish the necessary order in the event of such calamities, God forbid. Furthermore, the tax inspector Tobias Vlasvath and the councilor Elbert Diemer are appointed to inspect the meat that the free butchers will come to sell.56
Finally, it has been noted that the Company of Rinse nor France wines, which is completely unprovided for, and apparently not easily provided for, as a result of which the tappers of cool wines cannot get their fill of those drinks, which subsequently, not unreasonably, sustains them not to be held liable for the entire lease, insert the two-year-old tenants on this subject have already contributed their doleanties and requested a reduction of the lease money. Therefore, in order to eliminate all discrepancies in the conditions of the cool wine lease, it has been decided to imply that the Company of the aforementioned wines has not been provided for at all, and that whoever comes to take up the aforementioned lease must be suspected of this, without subsequently having to pretend anything in that regard. We also find the same defect concerning the leasing of butter, olive oil, vinegar, speck, etc., because the butter company has not been provided and the tenant would later have to pay a tribute for it. Therefore, it is arrested for acting in the same way as was previously done with the coelewijne.57
Thus arrested and resolved in the Castle of Good Hope, date of issue.
