Concerning the dispute between the impost master of wines and beers and the tavernkeepers regarding payment in sewant, the director general and councilors advise that the impost ought and shall be paid according to the general ordinance of the land in strung sewant, as it can then be better determined whether the sewant is good or bad, and that the impost be paid in bundles of 25 to 30 guilders and above. Ady ut supra.
