At the session the inhabitants of Mespacht submitted a petition in the English language, requesting that Joseph Fouler be banished from their village, because he does nothing else but incite person against person and cause other troubles. Whereupon it has been decided as follows: The director-general and high council have decided that the petitioners summon Fouler to depart, and if he refuses, apprehend him and turn him over to the law officers. Thus done at the session, 25 November 1654, in New Amsterdam; present: the honorable general, Mr. de Sille and La Montagne.
