At the session [ ] Gerritsz submits a petition requesting a patent for a certain piece of land. It is recommended that the petitioner refer himself to the printed ordinances concerning this. Done in New Amsterdam 8 September 1654.

The provost marshal, Arent Jansz, appeared at the session to accuse Sergeant Juriaen Laecken of abusing him with various curse words, because he, Arent Jansz, had put him in irons for having found him gambling in the tavern during church service. Whereas the honorable director-general and council have heard numerous complaints about the aforesaid Sergeant Juriaen Laecken, the aforesaid director-general and gentlemen of the council order the sergeant to depart on the same ship which brought him here. Done in New Amsterdam, 14 September 1654; present: the honorable Director-General P. Stuyvesant, Mr. Nicasius de Sille and Mr. La Montangne.
