In the presence of all members, except Sr. Ludoviq van der Stel.
The prosecutors in Rade, having made a statement about the damage they suffered during the lock-up of the goods brought ashore by the present ships, were unable to recover them, noting that they had been misappropriated, and they notified the fiscal. Therefore, after careful deliberation, it was decided and approved that the prosecutors should authorize the provost-mayor or his officers in the future to order the prosecutor-mayor to seize all contraband goods recovered from them and to keep them in safe and secure custody until they report their experiences to the fiscal.
And noting that the tapping of sugar beer was hereby strictly forbidden, and that only a few special people were permitted to peddle it, in order to compensate for the damage they suffered as a result of the demolition of their houses near this Castle,97 and because drinking this beer was found to be unhealthy and harmful to the body, as it was mixed with datter and other filthiness, and the cause of many disputes, quarrels, and other misfortunes, and that the tappers of this beer were given to idleness and much spillage, despising or completely abandoning the fields and agriculture; It has been unanimously decided that the brewing, tapping, and selling of the aforementioned large and small measures is prohibited for widows and orphans, primarily those of the Company's servants. to allow sugar beers, and to grant them each for a period of one year, with the understanding that no tenants will be able to sell their beer by the bottle, and their privilege will be continued if they have been successful in observing the posted placards regarding the tappers, or if it is found that they can adequately support themselves through their own or other means.98
Thus arrested and confined in the Castle of Good Hope on the date and year as above.
