Translation

Jacob Schellinger, plaintiff, against Adriaen Post, defendant; the plaintiff’s wife appears and requests payment of a promissory note signed by the attorney of the lord Van Capelle.

The defendant requests, before he answers, that she show a power of attorney from her husband, which she does.

The defendant, having seen the power of attorney, shows a letter of the lord Van Capelle, in which the aforesaid lord orders that the aforesaid promissory note be paid out of the leases received by Melijn.

The director general and councilors, having heard the parties, order the defendant to reply in writing to the written demand made by the plaintiff against him on the 25th of this month.
