HOLLAND DOCUMENTS: V. 337 59. Stuyvesant insists on tlie payment of the debts contracted by individuals during the war, or that Company be paid interest ; many being impoverished, little or no choice is thus left them -- p. 313. 60. On the other hand, payment is refused of the lawful debts which the Company owes individuals, such as earned monthly wages, goods delivered, &c -- p. 313. 61. With a view to win those back whom he hath offended in the highest degree, Stuyvesant hath exempted the English, for a long time past, from the duty which the Dutch were obliged to pay; his caprice may be hence inferred. Great injury was thus inflicted on the trade of our nation aud of our merchants.
