Translation

Heard the complaint of Glaude Samson against Jan Peeck, innkeeper, and read the deposition of the witnesses whom Jan Peecq himself called, the same being more of a burden than a benefit,[i] and is further evident from the request of the lord fiscal.

Director general and councilors order that Jan Peecq be placed in detention and that the fiscal bring forward the case, which he intends against him, on the next court day. Dated as above.
