In the presence of all members.
It is understood that the residents of Stellenbosch and Drakenstein will press their grapes with the knowledge of the bailiff. After they have pressed them, the bailiff, assisted by the mayors, will collect the same quantity everywhere. Each freeholder will be allowed a litre of wine in their household for their waste, and the remainder of their vine crop will remain until the arrival of His Highness or the Lord General of India.
