The house of Pieter Schaefbanck, court messenger. Pieter had a long and useful career under both Dutch and English rule. In 1658, he combined the offices of jailor and court messenger; in the former capacity he begged permission to "lay in beer for the prisoners, also, wine and liquors, free of excise" — which was granted under restrictions. — Rec. N. Am., II- 3SS> 376- This privilege, as might have been expected, led to some laxities of management. In May, 1661, his deputy, Hans Vos, who was drunk at the time, allowed Richard Bullock, a prisoner for debt, to escape. Schaefbanck was ordered to confine his deputy and put him on a fare of bread and water. Next court day after a week in prison, Vos was pardoned, but Schaefbanck was told that he was "bound to make good the loss" of the prisoner. — Ibid., Ill: 306, 313.
In 1665, the English continued him as "Towne Serjeant" {ibid., V: 252) which was only another name for the same office, for in July, 1671, it was "Ordered . . . that the Goall KeepF Pieter Schaefbank's Sallarie ... be advanced from 150 to 200 gilders [^80] pF Annum . . . y? Secretarie ... to pay him soo much uppon his account as will make him a new Coate." — Ibid., VI : 340. In 1673, he still held the office of jailor. — Ibid., VII: 9. As an old retainer of the city, he seems to have long been treated with the kindliness due to his years; the last mention of Schaefbanck in the city records is under date of September 17, 1691; "Ordered that the Treasurer Lett Scarrbanck haue a new Suite and assist him in whats wanting." — M. C. C, I: 234.
