The B.^ Schout de Mill Pit ags't

Jacobus ffabritius, Prisoner & Dei* The Hr pit says that the Deft contrary to the Order of this Court came by force on the 11 th July last into the house of Annetie Coruehs his Wife, and brought in there a chest against her will and consent ; pushed a certain woman named Barentie with her spinning wheel off the road and moreover, wlien he was warned to keep still or that tlie Schout should otherwise have to be brought, he gave for answer. He was tired of the Schout and Burgomaster, and when the Schout came himself with order to remove him, the Deft, \^q resisted the Soldiers, pushing him pit on the breast with many other evil acts : The H' Pi* therefore demands that the Offender shall at least be banished for ever out this City's jurisdiction or otherwise punished according to his deserts as a person unworthy to live in a well regulated Burghery having committed divers offences against the laws and ordinances of our Fatherland ; with the Costs incurred and still to accrue.
