what is remarkable, it is so confirmed by similar cases as not to admit of a doubt for it once came to pass in the Minister's house, after their departure, when the Consistory had met there and was risen, that one Arnoldus van Herdenberch related the proceedings relative to Seger Theunisse, and how he had appealed as curator, from the judgment, whereupon the Director, who had sat there as an stuyvesant declared Elder, took up the word and answered: "People may think of appealing during that the he wouid'put man to death myJ time -- should any one do have him made a foot shorter, pack so,^ I would r the

ftom hia'j'adlmen^ picces off to Holland and let him (41) appeal in that way." O cruel words! what more could a Sovereign do And all this is still further confirmed, for after "?

Jochem Pietersse Cuyter and Cornelis Molyn went to Fatherland to prosecute their appeal, and letters were received here from them, and it was rumored that they were maintained or would be successful, the Director, speaking of Jochim Pieterss Cuyter and Cornelis Molyn, openly declared at various times and on stuyvesant con- many occaslous, both in presence of Inhabitants and strangers, that " Even tho' th"°nigh °MTghi'y they return and bring a States' order they would be no better off than they were; I should immediately send them back, unless their High Mightinesses summon me." His Honor has always maintained that no appeal lay, or could lie from this country,and that he was sufficiently able to prove it. And when some would not believe it, especially in cases against the Company or its chief officers, a great many extracts from divers authorities were quoted, not much to the point
