An instrument in proper form was issued hereof.

Today, the fifth of November in the year sixteen hundred and twenty, there appeared before me, Adriaen Paets, notary public, admitted by the Court of Holland upon the nomination of those of the magistracy of this city of Leiden, together with, before the witnesses named hereafter, Jan Kebel, serge dealer, about 38 years old, and Andries Charp, tobacco pipe maker, about 40 years old, both of the English nation, living within this city; and they have, upon their respective true word, conscience and salvation of their souls, in place of an oath, at the request and instance of Hendrick Baeyfoort, likewise a tobacco pipe maker and of the English nation, testified and declared to be true that they, the deponents, were some days ago requested by the requester to act as good men [mediators] over the making of a settlement between the requester and Pieter Mariaes, camlet worker, likewise living within this city, on account of the wound which the latter had inflicted upon the requester, and that they accordingly, on Tuesday last past, together with the requester, met at a certain inn on the Achtergraft near the Doelen, where at the same time the aforesaid Pieter Mariaes also came, having with him likewise two good men.

The deponents further declared that on that same day, concerning the making of the aforesaid settlement between the aforementioned persons, various proposals were put forward and used on both sides, and that the requester demanded, for his lost time and painful suffering, eighteen guilders, in addition to the surgeon's fee for the wound, which he likewise understood was to be paid by the aforesaid Mariaes without further ado; whereupon the said Mariaes, being heard, indeed admitted that he had wounded the requester in his hand with a certain piece of iron, with which he had struck him in his house, adding thereto, on being asked why he had so wounded the requester, that he had done so out of great haste and anger, and because the requester, when he had asked him how he had come by the reel-yarn that had been at his house, had answered that he did not wish to have anything to do with it, adding that if he had anything to say he should take him to law, and that he had also ordered him out of his house, without his having had any other cause for the aforesaid; and thereupon the said Mariaes, through his good men, offered on behalf of the requester thirty stivers for his pain, suffering and lost time, and that he would in addition pay the surgeon's fee, but would go no higher; with which the requester, not being content, the settlement between the aforesaid parties failed to be reached, and they parted at the said time from one another without the parties being reconciled; the deponents giving as their reason for knowledge that they had heard and seen the aforesaid on the said day, and had been present at and witness to the occurrence thereof.

Declaring nothing further, the deponents offering, should it be necessary and if requested, to confirm the foregoing more fully under solemn oath, and the requester requested that an instrument in due form hereof be drawn up by me the notary and delivered to him.

Thus done, executed and passed on the day, month and year aforesaid, at the office of me the notary, in the presence of Cornelis Cuylman and Dirck van Hallmael, clerk, residents of this city, as trustworthy witnesses, signed hereto together with me the notary.

Today, the 4th of April in the year 1622, there appeared before me, notary public, together with the undersigned witnesses, Andries Cherp, as farmer of the excise on tobacco for Leiden and Rijnland for the term commencing on the first of this month, tobacco merchant, aged about 40 years, and Robert Peck, ribbon merchant, also dealing in tobacco, aged about 37 years, both residing within this city.

They have, at the instance of Jacob Danielsz, here present, upon their word as men, their conscience and the salvation of their souls, in lieu of oath, respectively affirmed and declared to be true: that they, the deponents, on Friday last past, in the afternoon at about four o'clock, in a certain house on the Hoogewoerd where the deponents were, were approached by one Jan Kebel, draper, and Samuel Lee, hatter, likewise tobacco dealers, who told the deponents that there was within this city a travelling dealer who had with him a parcel of tobacco, being lodged at "De Drie Corendragers" ("The Three Corn-Carriers") by the Crane, and asked whether the deponents would also care to go and inspect it.

They declared further that the deponents, agreeing to this, went together with the said Jan Kebel and Samuel Lee, thus the four of them, to the said inn "De Drie Coorndragers" to find the said dealer there, to inspect his tobacco, and possibly to buy some part of it from him. Further, that on arriving there together, they found the said person or dealer sitting in the front room in a small booth, having laid out before him on a table a number of rolls of tobacco, and having with him also two other men, unknown by name to the deponents, who were partaking of the aforesaid tobacco.

They declared further that one of their company cut and pared off a piece of the said tobacco, so that the deponents also partook of it and tasted it. Further, that they, or one of them, finally asked, on behalf of all the others, at what price he wished to sell his tobacco, and that he thereupon named and priced his tobacco at fifty stuivers per pound, but that this tobacco was too poor a quality for the deponents at so high a price, such that the deponents also said that they had no interest in it.

Further they declared that, while they were thus tasting the tobacco as aforesaid, they admonished the said dealer, for his own good, that he ought to declare his tobacco to the tax farmer here before venturing to offer it for sale, adding that otherwise he would come to harm; but that the said dealer brushed this aside, saying that the farmer could not punish him since he owed nothing, appearing to make little of the matter and to pay no heed to the farmer, so that the deponents, seeing this, left him to his own opinion and intention, and departed again from there as they had come, namely the four of them together, without buying any tobacco, leaving the other two men whom they had found there still remaining behind.

Further, the said Robert Peck alone declared that he saw, in the said inn, in the front room, a chest standing open, whereby the deponent had occasion to see that there still lay a number of rolls of tobacco within it.

Declaring nothing further, the deponents offer, should it be necessary, to confirm all the foregoing more fully under solemn oath. Consenting that one or more public instruments be drawn up hereof by me and delivered to the requester.

Thus done within Leiden, at the office of me, the notary, on the Langebrugge, in the presence of Jan van Beechuys, bailiff's officer, and Laurens Vergeyl, clerk, as credible witnesses required hereto together with me, the notary.
