Similarly, in place of the outgoing member of the board of orphan masters, the citizen Willem van Dieden, who, at the request of the present Secretary of that board, Willem Adriaen van der Stel, to be relieved of that office, was appointed in his place the provisional assistant Roeloff Backer.
Also, as Commissioner of Marriage Affairs in place of the outgoing Company servant, the Vendor Oloff Bergh, was appointed.
Likewise, Harmen Ernst Gresnicht, elected as mayor of Borger, was appointed on the basis of the surviving nomination, in place of the outgoing citizen, as well as the citizen Jan Dircxz de Beer, who was appointed lieutenant of the mayor for the coming year 1683.
The Cape wine tenant Guilliam Eems, having requested the Cape Winelands Company to be allowed to enjoy 2 or 3 tiers of Cape wine from the Company in return for grateful payment, has already been granted, on the representation of the Commander, that the intention of our Lords and Masters is to bring the aforementioned drink at a low price, as has been stipulated by us from time to time, and the tier of dirty wine brought to 30 Rxrs. purchase price, as they have done with the Company. It was accepted. It was therefore considered appropriate to have the aforementioned tenant pay the sum of 45 Rxrs. to the Company for each deposit of the aforementioned wine, insofar as the Company is not to be the first to come and spoil the market.
Thus arrested at the Castle of Good Hope, date of suprs.
