PREFACE
'•Resolved — That the Clerk of the Common Council be directed to
prepare and furnish to the Mayor. Members of the Common Coun-
cil and heads of Departments, a Manual of the Corporation of the City
of New York, for the year 1846-7."
Adopted by the Board of Aldermen, January 18, 1847.
Adopted by the Board of Assistant Aldermen. January 25, 1847.
Approved by the Mayor. January 21, 1847.
Pursuant to the directions given in the foregoing Resolution, the
undersigned has prepared this volume. And in which he has en-
deavored, by every exertion in his power, in the time allotted him, to
furnish the Common Council every particular in relation to our City
affairs, that may be desired by them, or interesting to our citizens.
It would be needless for the undersigned to particularize further
upon the character of the work thus assigned to him to compile, other
than to say that the same is authentic, which will be manifest by an
examination of the work itself.
But the reader is most respectfully requested to examine that por-
tion of the work that relates to the doings of our ancestors in early
times, which cannot be otherwise than deeply interesting, particularly
to the old Knickerbockers. To the rising generation he would say, that
the sayings and doings of those who found this Island a barren waste
and laid here the foundation of this City, which is now the great
Commercial Emporium of the western woild, ought to be of intense
interest. The Compiler flatters himself that he has rescued some of
these sayings and doings from oblivion, and believing that they are
calculated to inform and instruct, he respectfully submits his little book
with entire confidence to the Common Council and citizens at large.

FIRE DEPARTMENT FUND.
Trustees' Report for 1845.
The Trusteea of the tire Department Fund, herewith submit to the
delegates from the different Fire Companies, their Annual Keptrt of the
condition of the finances under their management, and in so doing ayail
themselves of the occasion to present their unqnalified thanks to the
friends of their Charitable Institution, for the liberal su) port which has
been extended to it during the period referred to. Whilst guarding, to the
utmost of their ability, ihe sacred trust committtd to them, a jilst Uis-
crimiT'-'-ion ha.5 been observed in the distribution of the funds, with a
view to impart as eijually as possible the blessings which the Institution
is designed to confer.
They take plea.sure in communicating t(* you the intelligence, that after
meeting every engagement, they have, by the aid of Providence, been ena-
bled to add to the Permanent Fund the sum of One Thousand Dollars. In
this connection it affords them much gratification to state, that the addi-
tion which has been made to the Permanent Fund, ha^ been occasioned
principally by the following circumstances, viz; The large sum realized
from the Seventeenth Annual Ball at the Park T heatre ; the Annual Dona-
tion from the Common Council ; the proceeds of the ( onoert at the
Tabernacle, and by the very general aid extended to the Department Fund,
by many of our benevolent citizens; for the paiticulars of all of which,
they beg leave to refer you to the Report of the Treasurer, to which your
earnest attention is directed. The Insurance Companifc.*, owing to the "very
heavy losses they sustained by the calamitous fre in July, 1S45, hiive leeu
prevented from contributing with thi ir usual liler;i.ity. gnd iini'er the
peculiar circumstances, the Trustees lefiaintd tnni ciillii'g u] on them,
although there is every reason to believe, that if the application had been
' Without the Fire of 19th of July, which is estimated at $6,000,000.
99
made, it would have been met in a becoming spirit on the part of those
companies.
The Treasurer reports that there was remaining in his hands last year a
balance of Two 'i'housan I Four Hundred and Fifteen Dollars and thirty-
two cents ; since which period he has received from various sources, Nine
Thonsiind Two Hundred and Sixty-two Dollars and forty-eight cents and
for two Bonds CiincelleJ, the sum of Three Thousand Dollars, which
maki's in the aggregate the sum of Fourteen Thousand Six Hundred and
Seventy-seven Dollars and eighty cents ; out of which there has been dis-
tributed to those having claims upon the Department, the sum of JNine
Thousand Seven Hundreil and Fifty-six Dollars and seventy i ents ; rein-
vested Three Thousand, and added to the Permanent Fund One Thousand
Dollars ; leaving a balance deposited in the Butchers' and Drovers' Bank,
to the credit of the Fire Department of Nine Hundred and Twenty-one
Dollars and ten cents. The Permanent Fund now amounts to 'I'liirty-
seven Thousand Two Huudred and Fifteen Dollars and twenty-five cents,
which is invested as follows, viz : Loaned on Bond and Mortgage. Thirty-
six Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty -five Dollars and twenty-five cents ;
and Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars in Manhattan Bank stock.
Notwithstanding the Permanent Fund has been increased, it must be
borne in mind that the proceeds arising therefrom amount to only Two
Thousand Five Hundred Dol ars per annum, while the expenditures
amount to nearly Ten Thousand Dollars during the same period. The
sum paid annually to the Widows on ttie Pension List amounts to about
Five Thuusaud Dollars, which is irres|3ective of monies paid for wood, coal,
shoes, special donations, funeral expenses, and other coniingencies. The
Trustees make these representations in order to show that the Permanent
Fund, although appeariuL' large di.>es not yield an income at all adeciuate
to meet the heavy expenilitures tliat are made, and which cannot be cur-
tailed without rin-lu-' ,ii-trr-s aii^ suffering where assistance is indeed
most needed. '^ '• ■ ^i 'i is therefore most urgently required,
in obtaining; '1 i; ii .. are will' .g to aid in extending the
blessings (if t!i iih.i-. ii ^-ity, than which there is none that has
more en iimi : m- t i il;r |i)iilaiithr.)py of our ritizens, and yet it is a
singuln I hi. ti.r wliM-t .ilniost euery other institution in our city, of a
similar ':- 111' r h. iiuil in the bequests of many of our benevolent
citizen.^. "Ill iii^' Ji ii'iil this life, the Fire Department Charity,
although est,! i: • n ' 'h' broadest and most enlightened principles of
benevolence, I: - ' " > i mked in these expressions, notwi hstanding
some of the v-i i Im i i • n,- were not only connected with the Depart-
ment in early lile., but w^ir. among the original founders of the Fund.
It is not out of place to state, that our Fund was established in the year
1791, anil during the long period it has been in existence— during the many
transitions and vicissitudes which have taken place in the Department, it
has been steadily increased, faithfully guarded, and most correctly admin-
istered. It is one of the oldest charities in our city, and founded upon
principles of the most expansive benevolence. Pon-,e conception of the ex-
tent of its philantfepic operations may be formed, when it is stated that
there are at his moment, upwards of iwelve hundred widows and orphan
children of Firemen on the books of the Department, who share in its ben-
efactions.
Yiiur attention is called to the continued violations of the laws, as
regards the erection of dangerous building.s; these violations continue to
100
be made in utter disregard thereof, by citizens claiming to be respectable,
and who ought to be the last to violate the provisions of good and whole-
some laws, passed for the protei tion of life and property. The oft ce of
Fire Warden in connection with the Department having- been abolished,
the Firemen of the city generally should promptly report to this Board,
each and every violation of the staiute alluded to. The construction of
unsafe liuildings is an evil of an alarming character, and uiless speedily
arrested, may event\iate in a sacrifice of life, and in the destruction of
property. The Trustees have already prosecuted several persons guilty of
the offence spoken of, and recovered the penalty awarded in such cases.
In conclusion, the Trustees congratulate the Department upon its
present effective organization. It n(jw ranks fir usefulness, good order and
discipline, as the best institution of the kind in the country. A variety of
circumstances has coiitributfcd to this admiraljle result, and among the
most prominent are the following, viz : — the introduction of the Croton,
brought from a distant section of the country by the public spirit of our
citizens — the division of the city into lire districts— the erection of alarm
bells at difl'erent points— the construction of engines of heavy calibre, and
the expulsion of unruly members, have been the means of placing it in its
present excellent condition, and it only remains with its members to pre-
serve its present high standing to insure that confidence and support
which our ellow,ci(izens have ever been most willing to extend to it.
The terms of service of John B. Peck, Samuel Barstow and Zophar
Mills expires this year. It will be necessary, therefore, to elect three
Trustees, to serve three years each. The suit of Jeremiah B. Taylor is
yet undecided.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
By order of the Board of Trustees.
ZOPHAR MILLS, Secretary.
New-York, Novemher^, 1846.

FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE CITY.
The financial condition of the city on the 1st of May, 1841, was as fol-
lows, as will be seen by the Mayor's Message, from which the following -
statement is talien: —
" I have requested from the Comptroller, and received a statement of
the City Debt up to the first of May last, from which the following ap-
pears :
New York City Stocks of 1820, and '29, $500,000
Less amount held by the Commissioners of Sinking
Fund, 91,200
$408,800
Public Building Stock, $515,000
Less amount held by the Commissioners of Sinking
Fund, 15,000
■ 500,000
Fire Loan Stock, a contingent liability, fiS'S2,000
Less an equal amount of bonds and mortgages owned
by the Commissioners of Sinking Fund 882,000
Fire Indemnity Stock, $.358,900
Less amount held by the Commissioners of Sinking
Fund, 122,700
236,200
Floating Debt Stock, $350,000
Less amount held by the Commissioners of Sinking
Fund, 168,210
181,790
Corporation Bonds — a contingent, debt, ,....,... $585,000
Less an equal amount of liens on real estate, , 585,000
Water Stocks, $7,949,377
Less amount held by the Commissioners of Sinking
Fuiid, 298,000
7,651,377
$8,978,167
" The City Stocks which will be held by the Commissioners of the
Sinking Fund at the close of the present fiscal year, will be sufficient to
cover, and in effect cancel the stock of 1820 and '29, and the Public Build-
ing Stock. The Fire Loan Stock and Corporation Bonds are contingent
liabilities of the City, for which bonds and mortgages, and other real
estate liens, are held by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, which
can be realized and applied to tbe liquidation of the debt at any time.
These, therefore, may properly be considered as no part of the City debt,
but rather as a loan of its credit on full and perfect securities.
198
" The Fire Indemnity Stock is, for the most part, payable in twenty-
seven years ; the provision for its redemption is an annual tax of $25,000 ,
to be levied upon the real and personal estate of the citizens, one-half of
which tax would, however, accomplish its redemption in the time fixed.
" The Floating Debt Stock is payable at the rate of $50,000 per annum,
to meet which, a tax of the like sum is annually to be imposed.
" It will be seen, therefore, that the principal of all the stocks here
mentioned (and which constitute the ^entire debt of the city, except that
for the construction of the Croton Aqueduct), is fully provided for, and
capable of being redeemed without resort to the revenues of the Sinking
Fund, after the present year ; or, in other words, the proper income of
the Sinking Fund, on and after May next, when the Croton Water will
be introduced, will be applicable, solely, to the cancelling of the Water
Stocks.
"The Water debt, as estimated, will reach $12,000,000. It is computed
that the income of the Sinking Fund, as at present constituted, will alone
be sufficient to meet and cancel it in forty years. It is to be remembered,
too, that the Sinking Fund will, long before that period, be greatly
enlarged from the avails of such real estate as the Corporation may sell
from time to time*'"
FINANCL'^L CONDITION OF THE CITY— 1842,
The financial condition of the City on the 7th of May, 1S42, was as
follows, as will be seen by the Comptroller's Report to the Board of Alder-
men, [see Document No. Si], from which the following statement is
taken :—
City Debt, May 7, 1842.
New York City Fives, of ItQOand 1829, .$500,000
Public Building Stock, 515,000
Fire Loan Stock, 525,000
Fire Indemnity Stock, ^58,900
Floating Debt Stock, 300,000
Assessment and other Temporary Bonds, 397,500
Water Stock Fives of 1858, 1860, 1870, and 1880, 8,721,500
Water Stock Sixes, from 1 to 3 years, 1,525,502
Water Stock Sevens, 5, 10, and 15 years, 591,560
$13,434,962
Less by amount of the same Stocks held by the Commissioners
of the Sinking Fund, 898,522
$12,536,440
199
Extract from the Comptroller's Report, (1841.)
'■ The proyisions already established by law for the payment of this
Debt, are ample ; the faith and property of the City are pledged for the
redemption of the Water Debt, as well as for the other Stocks of the
City; these latter are already secured by active means on hand; the
payment of the Water Stock is distributed through a period of forty
years; the Sinking Fund, established to redeem the old Stocks, is con-
tinued and made applicable to the Water Stocks, by repeated enactments
of both the State and City Governments. This fund alone, without resort
to the property of the Ciirporation, is capable of redeeming the Debt,
within that period ; its minimum revenue of $200,000 would alone yield in
the fortv years $8,000,000, and the compounding through that time would
increase it $4,000,000 more,"
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE CITY— 1843.
The financial condition of the City on the 20th of May, 1843, is set forth
in the Mayor's Annual Message to the Common Council, as follows : —
The absolute City Debt, both permanent and temporary, as measured
by its stocks, bonds and checks, outstanding on the 20th instant, was
$13,697,323 33. This sum, however, includes' a nominal debt to the Com-
missioners of the Sinking Fund as holders of its stocks to the amount of
$96.5,805. With this proper deduction, the whole absolute debt may be
stated at $12,731,518 3-3, composed of the following items :
New York City Stock of 1820 and 1829, $500,000
Less amount held by Commissioners of Sinking
Fund, 95,400
$404,600 00
Public Building ?tock, 515,000
Less amount held by Commissioners of Sinking
Fund, 15,000
500,000 00
Fire Indemnity Stock, 375,088
Less amount held by Commissioners of Sinking
Fund, 139.188
'■ 235,900 00
Floating Debt Stock, 250,000
Less amount held by Commissioners of Sinking
Fund 100,000
■ 150,000 00
Water Loan Stock, 1 1.974,841
Less amount held by Commissioners of Sinking
Fimd, 616,217
— 11,3,58,624 00
Warrants of Cheeks outstanding, 82,394 33
$12,731,518 33
SOD
In addition to the above, other certificates of stocks and bonds have
been issued, under the authority of the Corporation, to the amount of
$710,162 64, which may properly be regarded a contingent liability, and
for which the City is indemnified by absolute liens on real estate situate
in this county. This contingent debt consists of the following items :
Fire Loan Stock, ^525,000
Less City Stocks held by Commissioners of Sinking
Fund, 184,780
^340,220 00
Assessment Bonds, 200,000 00
Revenue Bonds, 169,962 24
$710,182 24
The provisions for the payment of the above debt are stated in the
exhibit for the preceding year. See page 176.
The following is an extract from a communication of the Comptroller
made to the Board of Aldermen, July 31, 1843.
An examination'of the schedules will show that the Real Estate of the
City, including the Croton Water Works, is estimated at $23,627,810 70,
and produce a yearly rental of $313,746 80; about $55,000 cf which is
pledged to and paid into the Sinking Fund, by ordinance of 1813 to reduce
the principal of the City Debt (which this day amounts to $12,854,552), and
the balance is paid into the Treasury to meet, in part, the interest of the
Debt, according to the Act of June 8, 1812, which pledges the whole of the
revenues of the Corporation for that purpose.

NEW ALIMS HOUSE,
Blackwell's Island.
The New Alms House Buildings just completed, are situated at the
centre of Blackwell's Island, and consists of a main building with two
wings for the males, a similar main building with its two wings for the
females ; two one story buildings used as kitchens, &c., and placed in
the rear of each department, and a large building devoted to the purposes
of a chapel, ware-house, and public offices. The main building of each de-
partment is 50 feet square ; the wings are each 60 feet by 95 feet ; the
kitchens are each 40 feet by 70 feet, and the chapel is 65 feet by 90 feet.
The basement floor in the buildings of each department is one step above the
ground, and there are three stories above the basement in the centre main
buildings, and two stories above the basement in the wing buUdings. The
principal story of the main building, is devoted to the use of the ofBces of
the department — having a general office, parlor, apartments for the physi-
cian, for the stewards, &c. ; the remainder of this building and the whole
of the wings are divided into rooms, 'J2 feet by 56 feet each, for the pau-
pers Each of these rooms is arranged with two or more windows at each
end, opening upon a verandah at each story, which admits of their being
ventilated in the most perfect manner, by having a current of air passed
through them lengthwise at pleasure.
The buildings of the two departments are placed with their length at
right angles with the course of the river, and 650 feet apart ; the build-
ings used as kitchens, are placed each 100 feet in the rear of the main
buildings, and the chapel is on the centre line intermediate between the
buildings of the two departments.
The number of the poor provided with ample accommodations in these
buildings, is 1300, which, upon an emergency, may be increased to 2600, by
adopting the plan pursued in such cases in other institutions, of using two
story bedsteads, after the manner of berths in a steamboat. The facilities
for ventilation which the apartments possess, would, it is believed, fully
admit of such arrangement.
15
226
The whole cost of the buildings, exclusive of the labor performed by the
Penitentiary convicts in quarrying the stone, will be about $115,000. The
contractors for all the buildings except the Chapel, were Andrew Brady,
Mason, and Edward Shortill, Carpenter ; those for the Chapel, were, John
T. Allen, Mason, and Wm. W. Wetmore, Carpenter ; the buildings were
erected under the superintendence and after the designs of R. G. Hatfield,
Architect.
The following gentlemen of the Common Council, composed the Joint
Special Committee, who had the same in charge during their construction
and completion, &c.

COLUMBIA COLLEGE.
This College was founded under the name of King's College, hy an act
of Assembly of the Province of New York, 3lst October, 1754.
The ground on which the College stands was granted by the ■' Kector and
inhabitants of the City of New York," &c., ou the condition th.it the pub-
lic religious services should be according to the ritual of the Protestant
Episcopal Church. All sectarian tendency was avoided by placing the
senior Minister of the Reformed Dutch Church, the Ministers of the Ger-
man Lutheran Church, the French Church, and of the Presbyterian Con-
gregation in Wall street, among the ex officio members of the Board of
Governors.
The College was suspended as a seminary of Education, while the city
was alternately occupied by the American and British Armies during the
war of the Revolution, and its buildings were occupied as a military hospi-
tal.
The College was placed with the other seminaries of learning in the
State under the authority of the " Regents of the University by a law
passed in May, 1784 ; and was directly superintended by that board until
April, 1787. At the latter date the original charter, with modifications
adapted to the new order of things was confirmed by the State Legislature.
The members of the Board of Government have been since that time
styled Trustees, and although in the board named by the Legislature a
majority of Episcopalians was placed, as a proper acknowledgement of the
bounty to which the greater part of the original endowment was due, the
liberal policy of the original foundation has been steadily persisted in. At
least one of the clergy of the Reformed Dutch and of the Presbyterian
denominations have always been members of the Board of Trustees along
with several laymen of persuasions other than Episcopalian. Columbia
College has in consequence been more free from any direct sectarian bias
than "any institution in the United States, in which the forms of public
worship are observed. The charter of 1787 was surrendered in 1810 and a
new one granted still more in conformity with the spirit of the times. In
particular the restrictions placed by the original grant of Trinity Church
and the charter of 1754 on the mode of leasing the property was changed
with the consent of the Vestry of that Church. These restrictions al-
though not injurious to the revenues of the College at the moment, were a
serious obstacle to the improvement of the City and since they were removed
the ground held on lease from the College has become the site of some of
the best private residences in the city.

The following synopsis of the new Post Office Law, is from the Wash-
ington correspondent of the New York Express. The Compiler cannot en-
dorse it as being correct.
The Post Office Bills which have pa.ised, are of the first importance. The
franking privilege to members of Congress, and officers of Congres.s is com-
pletely restored.
The Post Route Bill covers thirty pages, and to it are appended impor-
tant sections, amen 'ing the present law. The Post routes extended to
Oregon and to Mexico, with return mails, this Mexican service (to Tam-
pico and Rrazos.) to be performed once a week. During the war, and for
three months after, thi' officers and soldiers of the Army are to receive
their letters and newspapers free of postage.
Beside the important war steamer bill which has passed la<;t night, the
Post Route bill contains a section which enables the Post Master General
to appoint a Deputy Postmaster at Astoria, and such other points on the
Pacific within the U. S. Territory as the public interests demand. The P.
M. G. in this bill is al.so authorized to send a mail from Charleston to Cha-
gres, touching at St. Angu.stine and Key West, and also at Havana, across
the isthmus of Panama, and from thence to Astoria, at the mouth of the
Columbia river, touching at Monterey and San Franciso. One hundred
thousand dollars per annum is appropriated for this service, and the Post-
master General is authorized to make a contract for the performance of the
duty. The Postmaster General is also authorized to establish a branch
Post Office in any city, when in his judgment the public interests may re-
quire,— and no increase of postage can be charged for such convenience,
Under this part of the law the Postmaster General may, if he will, establish
one or more branch offices in the City of New York.
The Postmaster General may also furnish postage stamps, to be sold to
those wishing them, as under the English law.
The bill also appropriates $200,000 for the payment of postage of mem-
bers of Congress, and Congress generally.
It is also made illegal to deposit two letters in the same envelope or
package directed to different persons. The penalty is $10, one half to the
informer. There is, however, a proviso that the law shall not apply to
packages sent to foreign countries.
Newspapers not sent from the office of publication are to be charged with
three cents postage. Sd also all handbills and circulars.
Newspapers may be carried out of the mail by any contractor or mail
carrier, when either for sale or for distribution.
Upon letters or packages sent by steamboats and vessels, not carrying
327
the mail, two cents will be charged under regulations to be prescribed by
the Postmaster General.
All books and printed matter ordered by Congress are to be regarded as
public documents, and as such may be franked.
Postmasters are not allowed any compensation for the delivery of these
documents, bnt the amount received from boxes is for the benefit of the
Postmaster, to the extent of $2000, and beyond this it must be appropriat-
ed to the support of the ofiice.
The COMPENSATION under the new law will be as follows :
" That in lieu of the commissions allowed deputy postmasters by the
fourteenth section of the act of the third of March, eighteen hundred and
twenty-five, the Postmaster General may allow on the proceeds of their
respective oflices a commission not exceeding the following rates on the
amount received in any one year, or a due proportion thereof for less than
a year :
" On a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars, forty per cent., (present
rate, thirty per cent.)
" On a sum over the first hundred and not exceeding two thousand four
hundred dollars, thirty per cent, (present rate, twenty-five per cent.)
" On a sum over and above the first four hundred dollars and not ex-
ceeding two thousand four hundred dollars, thirty per cent . (present rate,
twenty per cent.)
" On any sum over two thousand four hundred dollars, twelve and a half
per cent., (present rate, eight per cent.)
" On all sums arising from the postage on newspapers, magazine.s, and
pamphlets, fifty per cent., present rate, fifty per cent.)
" On the amount of postages on letters or packets received for distribu-
tion, seven per cent., (present rate, five per cent.) Provided, That all al-
lowances, commissions, or other emoluments shall be .subject to the pro-
visions of the forty-first section of the act which this is intended to amend,
and that the annual compensation therein limited shall be computed for the
fiscal year commencing on the first of July and ending the thirtieth of
June each year, and that for any period less than a year the restrictions
contained in said section shall be held to apply in due proportion for such
fractional period : And provided, further, That the compensation to any
deputy postmaster, under the foregoing provisions, to be computed upon the
receipt at his office of a lar^'er sum, shall in no case fall short of the amount
to which he would be entitled under a smaller sum received at his office."
If the above be correct, the extra commissions allowed will enable post-
masters in the large cities to employ additional Clerks, of the necessity for
which there cannot be a doubt.

the States of Holland which shall be Jound within these the Ter-
ritories of his Royall Highnesse.
Whereas, the States of the United Belgicke Provinces have begun
and continued a warre against his Majestye our dread Soveraigne, his
Realmes%nd dominions as well in Europe, as upon his Majestj e's for-
reigne Plantations, to the great effusion of Christian blood and the de-
struction of Comerce. In which cases it is not onely customary but
consonant to the Lawes of Nations, to malte seizure of and confiscate
the estates of the subjects of those Princes or States against whom
warre is declared. Now, forasmuch as divers persons of the Dutch
nation residing under the dominions, and being the subjects of the said
States of the United Belgicke Provinces, and not under any oath or
obligation of Allegiance to his Majestye, have and doe enjoy within
this Government to their use and behoofe severall houses and lands,
the full discovery wherof cannot at present bee found out, in respect
of the severall private Conveyances, Letters of Attorney, Deputation,
Procuration, and the like ; however, the Governor, by and with the
advice of his Councell have thought fit to enter upon the Records,
(without making publication thereof ; for reasons and considerations
satisfactory to themselves,) and bee it entered upon the records, that
from and after the date hereof, all the lands and houses lyeing and
being within the Territories of his Royall Highnesse James, Duke of
Yorke, &c., which did formerly belong, or in any wayes now may ap-
pertaine to any of the subjects of the said States or any of the inhabi-
tants under their dominions (who are under no oath of allegiance to
his iVIajestye.) are, and stand sentenced and confiscated to his Majes-
tye's use : to the end. that the rents, profits and emoluments arising
from the confiscation of the said lands and houses, together with the
rents, profits and emoluments received or remaining in any other
hands, by procuration or other wayes, may render some support to the
charge of this Government.
And it is further ordered and decreed, that the entry of this resolu-
tion of the Governor and Councell upon the Booke of Records, shall
stand firme and valid to all intents and purposes, notwithstanding the
formality of the publication is omitted ; and the execution of this
Decree and order shall and may bee lawfully put in practise at all or
any time from and after the date hereof, as fully and eftectually as if
the same had beene publickely declared and manifested.

riotous insolence and assaults made by Richard Williams, Souldier,
against John Van Gee, Burger, of this City, upon the 10th of this in-
stant, February, and that the said AVilliams without any cause or occa-
sion given by the said John Van Gee, did strike and 'aftVont the said
John Van Gee. whereupon much blood might have been spilt, and the
peace and amity between the good inhabitants, and souldiery endan-
gered, which is never to be violated without severe punishment on
either side, have thought fit to give sentence against Richard Wil-
liams.

of the house where hee now dwelleth. hee and his wife bought of

of a firkin of Soape. but cannot perfectly remember what part of the

THE DEPOSITION OF ANNE THE WIFE OF HARK DALE.
The deponent maketh oath that Richard Russell, Thomas Weale.
and John Mathews, did sell unto her husband and herselfe, 2 iron
potts. 3 hoes, 1 paire of shears, and about Ji of a firkin of soape, for 72
guilders wampum, and that the greater part of the said sumrne was
told by her and divided into 3 parcels, which shee deliveied unto
Thomas Weale for the use of himselfe, Richard Russell, and John
Mathews, discounting with each of tliem what was due to her from
them, but what day this was upon shee cannot remember, only that it

Shee further deposeth that Richard Russell told her in the backe
yard of the dwelling-house where shee now lives, that hee or they
were offered 72 guilders for the aforesaid goods by another and had
refused it, but shee should have them for that summe, whereupon the

iiereupon, they were all three by the Governor's order committed
Unto the Marshall's hands, and afterwards shut up close prisoners in
the Hole.
In the evening of the same day, being Fryday, the Governor ordered
some persons to go to the prisoners and advise them '^o prepare for
another world, for that one of them should dye the next day.
November 10th, (being Saturday) in the forenoone, the three prisoners
being brought into the Governor's lodgings, they drew lotts for their
lives, and the fatal lott fell to Thomas Weale's share.
By the request and intercession of the Court of Aldermen, the con-
demned person was reprieved until ilonday.
Sunday, November 11th. in the evening a company of the chiefe
women of the City, both English and Dutch, made earnest suite to the
Governor for the condemned man's life.
Monday, November 12th, in the morning, the same women who
came the last night with many others of the better sort, and a greater
number of the ordinary Dutch women, did again very much impor-
tune the Governor to spare him.
Then all the souldiers did unanimously and with one consent joyne
togetlier in a petition to the Governor in the behalfe of their fellow
souldiers, and chose Sergeant Thomas Exton and Corporal Zachary
Banes, to deliver it ; but Captain Nedham took it and presented it for
them.
The tenour of the petition is as follows, viz : —
To our Right Honourable Governor Col. Richard Nicolls.
The humble Petition of all your Honourable's under officers and
soldiers in this Garrison
That they doe all acknowledge your Honour's constant clemency
towards severall of us in pardoning our misdemeanours, and your just
provocation to make a severe example at this time of our fellow soul-
dier, Thomas Weale : Yet we are not without hopes that your Honour
will extend mercy towards him, considering his youth and strength
for the future may be employed in a Reformation of his life, and to
doe his Majestye faithfuU service in his calling, and that beyond the
ordinary goodnesse of your nature, your Honour may be the rather in-
clined by the intercession to pardon our fellow souldier, whose sen-
tence alone will strike as great a terror in us, and detestation of such
evil practices, as if hee suffered death.
Wee doe jointly and severally, faithfully promise to your Honour
that wee will never act, contrive, or conceal any theft or thieves, but
doe and will abhorre. and discover any such practices or persons to
your Honour, which each of us engage to doe upon the faith and word
of a souldier.
Willingly submitting to bee punished with deathe when any of us
shall breake, this our solemn promise and engagement.
Wee humbly desire this our Petition may remaine upon Record
against the first ofl'ender in the like kind, beseeching God to direct
your heart to mercy. Wee have unanimously desired Sergeant Eston
and Corporal Banes to present this the humble Petition to your Honour,
for whose health and happiness wee are ever bound to pray, &c.

The Decree and Ordinance of the Governor and Councell about the
Wainpuin stolenjroni JSmity at Albany.
Wliereas, it appeares upon examination and confession of John
Woolstoncraft and Thomas Browne, that they together with Thomas
Bennett stole from the dwelling house of Emity at Albany, by con-
putation the sum of one thousand Guilders Wampum, or thereabouts
which they three divided amongst themselves.
However it appeares that John Pooney had part of the stolen wam-
pums for a bribe not to reveal the same. It also appears that John
Woolstoncraft drew the latch of the doore, and let in the aforesaid
Browne and Bennett, his partners ; and the theft being detected, Cap-
tain Baker seized upon some part of the stolen Wampum, which then
by the computation of Thomas Rogers. John Shute, and John Wool-
stoncraft was fower hundred Guilders in black wampum loose and
untold, the which Captain Baker tooke into his custody soe computed
and sealed the bagge ; after which time. Captain Baker opened the
bagge to put into it another parcell of the said Wampum found in the
hands of John Pooney, which was counted and found to bee 45 guild-
ers.
Now so it is that the Governor, with the advice of his Councell.
upon good reasons moving them thereunto doth decree :
That Captain Baker shall make good to Emity the full summe of
400 Guilders which he took upon, guessing to be so much, and 4.5
Guilders, which he had from Pooney.
That 115 Guilders shall be deducted from Pooney's pay when it is
or shall become due.
That 100 Guilders be deducted out of Thomas Bennett's pay.
That 100 Guilders be deducted out of Thomas Browne's pay.
That John Woolstoncraft as the chief actor in the theft, shall make
good the remainder of the whole sum stollen except what is charged
upon Captain Baker and John Pooney. and to this end Mr. Delavall is
ordered to stop the payment of all bills due to the said Woolstoncraft'
upon what account soever, and to give Woolstoncraft credit upon the
pay of Thomas Bennett and Thomas Browne, for his reimbursement in
case any pay is due unto them.
This Decree and ordinance is forthwith to be put into execution for
the use and behoofe of Emity from whome the Seawamp was stollen
in January, 1665.

Tlie Decree and Ordinance of the Governor and Councell about Wooslton-
craft giving satisfaction to Captain Baker.
Wiereas. John Woolstoncraft hath openly defamed Captain Baker,
for concealing and embezzelling several goods belonging to Captain
Abraham Staets, thrown by the inundation upon a part of the Fort,
and further accused John Shute, John Gilford, and William Notting-
ham, to have received each nyne beavers for their part of the spoyle.
Now so it that after an extraordinary strict search and examination
it doth no ways appeare that either Captain Baker or the aforesaid
souldiers are in the least guilty, but on the contrary that the accusa-
tion is malitious. false and scandalous : The Governor with the advice
of the Councell do order that the said John Woolstoncraft shall make
a publique satisfaction to Captain Baker, to John Shute and the rest of
his fellow soldiers whom he hath malitiously defamed ; the manner
or measure of which publique satisfaction is referred to the discretion
of Captain Baker.

That we his Majestyes Loyall subjects and souldiers under your
Honourable command, are highly sensible and grieved for the shame-
full and undutifull carriage of our fellow souldiers Collard and Snooke.
We detest their action and know they have deserved an ignominious
death as runaways from his Majestye's service, yet in compassion to-
wards them who throuh folly or ignorance have been misled into so
capital an offence, we become'your Honour's Petitioners for their lives,
being thereunto the more encouraged (not only from your Honour's
constant goodness and clemency towards us) but because the last
mercy your Honour showed to Thomas Weale hath wrought so muchs
good upon him and all of us in general, that we hope your Honour hath
not been troubled with any such complaints since that tyme : We
cannot but beare witness against the prisoners, that no cause or rea-
son can excuse them for running from their colours, much less par-
donable at a tyme of warres at home which may reach us in a short
tyme, for aught we know : We must acknowledge your Honour's care
of providing for us against all manner of necessityes as well as soul-
diers have seen or can expect.
However we cease not to intreat mercy for our two fellow soul-
diers. for their owne sakes being young men, for ours who resolve to
live and die in his Majestye's service, and for this happy day of his
Majestye's coronation, that your Honour would be pleased to use Cle-
mency not justice towards them, whereby we shall more and more be
obleged to a strict performance of our dutyes as becomes his Majestye's
souldiers, and in full obedience to your Honour's Commands for whose
health and happiness we shall ever pray, &.c.

against Entity.
Messients :
I have received your advice and the account of your proceedings
against Emity, as also seen and heard what she can say for herselfe
and after full consideration, I find no sufficient cause to difl'er from the
sentence, except that you do not place your execution upon the
dwelling-house of her husband and her. but that she may give at her
satisfaction according to the sentence ; To which purpose Mr. Delavall
will wryte to Schout Swart, and give him credit for the summ men-
tioned : I think it reasonable that Emity should in your presence
aske the Domine Schout's forgiveness, and that being done she may
be freed from all question for what is past : Because the charges of
the Court are not knowne. Mr. Delavall will stop more money of hers
in his hands, being parte of the money which was stolen from her for-
merly, the Schout must send the Court Charges to Mr. Delavall.

pearance (the Master excepted) brings them into Court.
At the first session of the Court, the Privateer's petition for a Court
of Admiralty was read with the order thereupon.
So also was Captain Salter's letter of Attorney to Samuel Mosely to
prosecute for him in general with the said Moseley's letter empower-
ing Mr, Ryder to prosecute the matter depending.
Mr. Ryder puts in allegations from Captain Samuel Moseley Attor-
ney of Captain Salter, against Wm. Smith and Company, which were
read, after which the articles between Captain Salter and the ship's
company made at Port Royall were produced and read in Court, as
also the agreement or articles made between Wm. Smith, Master and
Abraham Keeling and Company at Campechie Bay.
Thomas Barnes excepts against his hand and seale in the articles
made with Captain Salter, but his marke is proved by the like which
he markes ; he likewise objects that every one sett their scales as well
as hands or markes, and that there are but 3 scales to the articles pro-
duced, and yet 18 names.
The allegation of Samuel Moseley, Attorney of Captain Thomas
Salter, against Abraham Keeling reads :
Abraham Keeling mooves for security of Mr. Ryder for prosecution
of him, which was ordered, upon which the Court did likewise order
that Abraham Keeling and the rest should give in security to stand to
the judgment of the Court.
Upon the request of the Privateers that they might have forty-eight
hours tyme allowed them to give in their answer to the allegations
exhibited against them, the Court doth give them tyme till Thursday
morning next, at 10 o'clock.
Captain Richard Morris is admitted security for the same persons,
he stood engaged for their appearance before untill the next sessions

Upon a motion made to the Court by the Defendants, Captain Mor-
ris was admitted their Attorney to plead for him.
William Smith Master puts in his answer to Captain Salter's alle-
gations by himselfe.
Upon Abraham Reeling's pleading for himselfe, divers things were
objected against him. and the testimonyes of several persons upon oath
produced in wryting against him. viz : Luke Watson. Patrick Hayes,
and Wm. Merritt's oaths, as to his common discourses against the
Lawes and the Justice of the Government, Phil Johns and Ned Shac-
kleton, as to their being threatened to be thrown overboard by him.
The Governor demands satisfaction for the abusive words and scan-
dall of the Government, as also for the combination against Wm.
Smith the Master.
Captain Morrison on the behalfeofthe Privateers, objects against
Mathew Salter's letter of Attorney to Moseley, and puts them upon the
proof of it. but awhile after submits to the judgment of the Court who
were well satisfied of the validity thereof
Thomas Davis, Thomas Barnes, John Hayter, who swore at a Court
in New Jersey, that the condition of their articles was under the pe-
nalty of £200 ; being demanded how they came to take such a rash
oath, the summe mentioned in the said articles being but £100.
They do all declare that they did confidently believe the summe to
be £200, as they had sworne, and the rather for that Keeling showed
them frequently a paper which he said was copy of the articles,
wherein the said £200 was inserted, in which copy it was likewise
mentioned that the said summe was to be forfeited if the Master should
after they arrive at the first port refuse to deliver up the articles.
The Defendants not having brought their answer into Court in wry-
ting, are ordered to bring it in on Saturday next at two of the clock,
afternoone. Captain Morris refusing any longer to stand bayle for the
Defendants, Mr. Delavall upon his own proposal is admitted bayle in
his stead.
Abraham Keeling was excepted against by the Governor for his re-
viling and defaming the Government, so stands committed in the cus-
tody of the sherift'.
But upon further consideration it was ordered that tlie said Keeling
should put in good security to answer only to Captain Salter's allega-
tions at the next Court of Admiralty, which if he cannot or doth not
procure, then, that he remain a prisoner untill that tyme.

[Mr, Matthias Nicolls.
A petition was presented to the Court from 5 of the Privateers, ac-
knowledging their order and casting the sole fault and blame of their
actings and miscarriages upon Keeling, and who was their sole insti-
gator and diiector, and humbly throwing themselves together with
their whole case upon the clemency of the Court.
The said 5 persons being required by the Court te take their oaths
to what they say they were sworne.
Whereupon they declared and acknowledged their petition brought
into Court to be their joint act.
Then being demanded by the Court how Keeling came to be of
their company, they aclinowledged that 3 of them went to Wm.
Smith their master to treat with Keeling and Throgmorton to go along
with them, they being in want of provisions and hands, and did pro-
pose equal shares to them of what loading they had, if they
would supply them, to which they consented, came aboard where the
articles were afterwards made.
The privateers answer to the allegations of Captain Salter in their
petition is to be taken into consideration by the Court.
- The allegations against Abraham Keeling being called upon for an-
swer, he insists upon the agreement made with the company for an
equal share with the rest and gives that in for his answer.
The 5 privateers are dismissed until Monday, when they shall heare
the determination of the Court.
Abraham Keeling is committed back to the custody of the Sheriff'
untill further orders.
At a Court of Admiralty held in Fort James the 13th, Wth and 18th

THE SENTENCE AND DETERMINATION OF THE COURT.
Upon a full hearing of the difference betweene Samuel Moseley of
Boston, Marriner, as Attorney or Procurator of Captain Thomas Salter
of Port Royall. in Jamaica. Plaintiff', and Wm. Smith, Abraham Keel-
ing. Thomas Davis. Samuel Smith. Thomas Barnes John Hayter and
Symon Jones. Master and Company heretofore belonging to the sliipp
Cedar. Defendants.
We fiiid by the several examinations of the defendants taken at this
first comeing into this port, and by what hath been here declared in
Court, that the Defendants, Wm. Smith, Master, and Abraham Keel-
ing. Marriner ; who had signed no articles to Captain Salter, as also
Thomas Davis, Samuel Smith. Thomas Barnes, John Hayter, and Sy-
mon Jones, who had signed articles and conditions to and with Cap-
tain Salter^ were not in any capacity to returne to Jamaica, according
365
to their articles and conditions, but ware really forced to this porte by-
contrary winds, want of provisions, sailes and rigging, and afterwards
necessitated for their relief and subsistence, to make sale of your Cam-
pechie wood which was brought into this port by him and is now in
question.
It appeares likewise to this Court by the said articles made by the
Defendants or parte of them with Captain Salter, (which are the sole
strength of his plea.] that the said defendants were to have a propor-
tion or share of whatsoever Campechie wood should be taken in that
voyage, and that Captain Salter returned to PortRoyall in the George
laden with Campechie wood.
This Court doth therefore and hereupon judge and order that the
said Campechie wood now in controversy or question here, as afore-
said, or the product thereof, doth and shall remaine to the defendants
proper use as the just proportion or share, of all that was taken in the
said voyage from Port Royall. aforementioned, the sale whereof by
Wm. Smith, Master, and the whole company, is allowed by this Court
they having acknowledged before the Court to have received satisfac-
faction and payment for the same.
They do also order that the Indian brought in hither by the defend-
ants as parte of their prize, shall be sold to defray the charges arisen
on both sides upon that occasion.
But the Shipp Cedar now under arrest at the suite of Captain Salter,
shall remaine for the use of the said Captain Salter, with the remain-
der of all such tackle, apparel, cannon or ammunition, as belonged to
the said vessell when she came first into this port; the just debts of
the said shipp being first deducted and paid, and all former pacts, con-
tracts, articles or agreements at any tyme made, touching or concern-
ing the disposall of the said shipp Cedar, by or between the said de-
fendants or any of them, either by sea or land and by this Court ad-
judged and declared void and of no efl'ect to all intents and purposes
• whatsoever.

TAe Privateer^ s Petition to the Right Honorable Richard Nicolls, Gov-
ernor under his Royall Highnesse the Duke of Yorke, ^f all his
Territories in A'tnerica.
The humble petition of Abraham Keeling, Thomas Barnes, Thomas
Davis, Symon Jones, Samuel Smith and John Hayter.
HUMBLY SHEWETH :
That your poore petitioners have since they came into this port, run
through many difficulties both before and since they attended your
Honour's Commission, but now are almost driven to despaire by reason
of the great troubles that unexpectedly are fallen upon them.
Your petitioners being every one of them in the first place under
arrest at the suite of Mr. Delavall in an account of debt.
In their ne.xt, their vessel which tliey brought in hither with them,
together with her furniture, attacht at the suite of Captain Salter;
and at last they are all arrested at the said Salter's suite.
366
As to the first, your petitioners are both ready and willing to answer
and make satisfaction as far as in them lyes for what is their due to
pray.
For the other two, your petitioners being in a very mean and low
condition, and having many and great enemyes, do humbly implore
your Honour's reliefe. in particular that your Honour will be pleased to
order a special Court of Admiralty according to customes of your
Government, wherein your Honor will please to be present with some
persons that are knowledged in the lawes and customs of the sea, and
of such aftairs. To hear and determine the matters indifference be-
tween the plaintiff and your poore petitioners, the defendants, to whose
wise determination they will readily submit.
And as in duty bound shall pray. &.c.
The order upon the Petition.
Whereas, the petitioners stand arrested at the suite of Captain Sal-
ter to make their defence before the Court of iVIayor and Aldermen in
this City, and that the matter in difference relateth to the lawes of a
Court of Admiralty, the Mayor and Aldermen are by these presents
requested to suspend any proceedings in tlie case, as either to the
hearing or determining the matter in controversy, only that the
partyes arrested shall give security to the Court for their appearance
before a Court of Admiralty, to answer the .suite of Captain Salter
when such a Court shall be called not e.xceeding six weeks after the
date hereof.
Given under my hand this 2d day of March, 1667, in Fort James.

Another Petition of the Privateers.
To the Right. Hon. Coll. Richard Nicoli.s,
Coll. Francis Lovelace,
And the rest of the Hon'ble Court of Admiralty.
The humble Petition of Thomas Davis, Thomas Barnes, John Heyter,
Samuel Smith and Symon Jones, in all humility shew unto your
Honours :
That whereas it was ordered by this Honourable Court, that the peti-
tioners should answer the allegations against us in wry ting the next
sitting of this Court, your poore petitioners do crave pardon of the
Court for not obeying the order, by reason we are not at all knowing
in such matters, and that Keeling should plead for us, we are in duty
bound to pray for your Honours and the Court's clemency in judging
aright, that what was acted in the other Colony was by the instigation
and false oath of Keeling to us in so often affirming that what he
shewed us, was the same we had signed to. which was the occasion
of the great fault and mistake in swearing so positive as we did, not
out of any ill-will that we bore to the Master, Wm. Smith, but solely
and wholly persuaded thereunto by the said Keeling upon several fair
367
ahd large expressions he made to us, urging that if we did not do it
\ve should all be ruined, and upon these reasons we cannot make
choice of him to plead our case, but with all humble submission throw
ourselves upon the mercy of this Honourable Court confessing our-
selves to be guilty of what this Court hath alledged to us.
Therefore, your poore petitioners do most humbly pray your
Honour to take into your consideration the sad and deplorable condi-
tion of your petitioners that they may be discharged from the arrest
of Salter, for his pretence to the Campechie wood that was brought in
by us, it being sold for our subsistence, and with submission, we do
conceive we have not had more than our just shares, but rather lesse
if we had gone to Jamaica to make our dividend. And for what your
petitioners do justly stand indebted to Captain Delavall, may be de-
ducted out of the apparell and furniture that the Honorable Coll. Ni-
colls did furnish us withall, and out of his great goodness did after-
wards give to us of the shipp's company. And as to the Shipp Cedar,
as she was when we brought her in, as also the Indian man, we do
jointly and severally refer it to the judgment of this Honourable Court
to determine whetli'er it doth belong to Captain Salter or your peti-
tioners, they earnestly requesting of your Honours that they may be
relieved from these multitude of troubles, that tlirough the false de-
lusions of Keeling they are now ensnared and netangled in.
And as in duty bound they shall ever piay, &c.

Jan Jansen Jr. Plaintift",
vs.
Captain Jan. Jacobsen, Defendant.
The plaintiff' declares that the defendant has slandered him by saying
that he had sold the brandy wines had of him for more than he allowed
the defendant in the account rendered, requests the proof or otherwise
legal reparation for his reputation according to petition.
The defendant Captain Jacobson replies tliat he heard from Adrian
Keyser in tlie presence of Cornells Coenraetsen. Jacob Vis, and Abram
La Mooy. that Jan Jansen, jr., not only once but oftener, had sold of
his Brandywine, for 9 and 9X beavers for each ancker and brought
into the account without specifying to whom : and that he had allowed
him in the account only 7 beavers for each ancker, and thus it would
seem that he had traded unfaithfully.
The plaintifl' replies that he had sold only two anckers of Brandy-
wine for 8 beavers per ancker, one to Tennis Kraey, and the other to
Nicolaes Terhaer, which he rectified in his last account, and offers to
bring the persons, to whom he sold, into Court to testify how the same
have been paid for.
Adriati Keyser having been summoned appeared and declares that he
heard from Nicolaes Terhaer, that he had bought of Jan Jansen, jr.,
one ancker brandywine for 8 beavers, and tlie other for 8}^. and that
it is probable that through haste or carelessness he might thoughtlessly
said that he had sold for 9"^ beavers for each ancker according to the-
testimony of D. Provoost and D. Schellinger, but does not recollect
anything about it.
Jacob Vis testifies in Court, that he heard Adrian Keyser in con-
versation with Captain Jacobson, say that Jan Jansen. jr., had sold the
brandywine at 8^ and 9>^ per ancker. and that he could prove it.
Abram La Mooy testifies in Court that he cannot say precisely what
words passed, as he was passing to and fro and tlierefore paid no
attention.
The Court proposed to Jan Jansen, jr.. whether he wished to leave
the dispute to Commissioners, or otherwise, and he answers he is well
disposed to settle in amity and friendship, but in no wise will suffer
that his name and fame should be in the least injured, but must be
honorably, and that he holds Captain Jacobsen for the person.
Captain Jacobson has the same proposition made to him for the
settlement of the dispute, whereto he only says that he had heard so,
which he has proved, or he can further prove.
Tlie parties and their points on either side having been heard, and
everything having been attended to by reason of their not being able
to bring about an accommodation, have ordered Captain Jacobson to
produce proof that Jan Jansen. jr.. had sold the Brandywine for more
than he allowed him in the account. And that Jan Jansen. junr., shall
deliver in his account, specifying to whom the brandywine was sold
and that by the next Court day.

It is resolved in Session to send the following Missive to the Right
Honourable the Directors in the Ship " Koning Salomon."*
Right Honorable, wise and provident Lords arid Patroons.
It has given us great pleasure that your right Honourable Lordships
have been so well pleased with our simple and humble petition to
your Lordships, that we may enjoy the fruits thereof, and that have
been graciously admonished. We thank Your Lordships most
sincerely for the benefits bestowed on this City, and do acknowledge
ourselves bound to regulate and behave ourselves comformably to the
contents of Your Bight Honourable Lordships' rescription. The dis-
pleasure of Your Lordships' because we or any of us should have
suffered ourselves to be stirred up by the evil aft'ectioned to the
erection of a Court contrary to order (we trust) can be removed and
will no longer rest upon us, whenever (with permission) you cast
your eyes upon the order which the Director General himself was
pleased to give. Y'our Right Honourable Lordships may rest assured
that we have never conspired with evil aft'ectioned persons (nor do we
know any such among us here) we have never thought of anything
but of discharging our duties to the utmost, as we yet design nothing
else than to behave ourselves peaceably and quietly under the
government placed over us. It grieves us that such an opinion is
entertained of us that we should be charged with holding particular
conversations with the English, or others, or in the form of deliberation
concerning matters of State, or what is worse still with attempting to
make a change in the state and in the government itself, in all which
we intended nothing else than to make humble petitions to your Right
Honourable Lordships, and to exhibit to the best of our ability the
situation and necessity of this country. We moreover state that the
necessity required this most imperiously, all however with no other
design than waiting for Your Lordships' gracious favour thereon for
the best of the country, as they in their wise discretion might de-
termine.
We have, with the whole Burgery (without boasting) then fully sub-
mitted, and with order have advanced the outside and inside works for
the defence and preservation of tliese lands in making journeys and
enduring watchings. and what more could be demanded, but e.xecuting
the pleasure of the Director General and Councillors; as to the pro-
positions made by the Governor General and Councillors in the month
of June, and what took place will be fully declared by the same
works — after or as soon as we comprehended the orders and pleasure
of Your Lordships, we were ready to obey,
* King Solomon.
374
Therefore we expect that all will be received and considered by
your Lordships, so as the same may. in your wise discretion be found
conducive to the general good. rest, peace, and principally to the re-
moval of and scattering of hatred and passion — and since we now have
peace with our near neighbours, may also sincere and Christian love
be extended to our superiors, and the same again from them to us and
the commonalty, and be manifested in our deeds.
Gnd keep Your Right Ho^outabI^ Lordship's persons in long enduring
prosperity and health until salvation.

Amsterdam.

Copy of the writing or letter of the 1
Director General and Councillors >
to the Burgomasters and Schepens, )
The Governor General and Councillors at different times and on
difierent occasions reminded the commonalty as well as the Burgo-
masters and schepens of the necessity, as it is customary in other
countries and especially in our father land, to devise certain ways and
means whereby the Polity, Religion, and the Militia may be maintained
and supported, and the said ministers be placed beyond complaint ;
and although the Director General and Councillors have shown this
necessity clear as the day, yet up to the present time they have not
received any satisfactory reply thereto, nor yet any evidence of
inclination and disposition towards urging on such a necessary object,
but the Burgomasters and Schepens have been prodigal of fine pro--
mises. without any succeeding action during the last year, as in their
own request may be seen, when they obtained from the Director
375
General and Councillors the receiving of the Tapsters' Excise for their
particular Compting House, on the condition that out of it the
EcclesiastUjue should be paid and satisfied in full, and that the Burger
masters and Schepens should provide something else for the same
purpose, wherein the Burgomasters and Schepens have not only in all
remained delinquent, but up to this date have returned no answer to
Director General and Councillors, concerning their order to the
Burgomasters and Schepens made in behalf of the ministers of God's
Word, much less in any account and exhibition, what has become of
the proceeds of the Tapsters' excise (before this always collected in the
genecal treasury) The Director General and Councillors are com-
pelled by their office and duty, at tlie direction of tlieir Lords and
Patroons, yet once more to reinind the Burgomasters and and Schepens
of the necessity of provisions for the maintenance both of the political
and ecclesiastical ministers andoftlie Militia whom their Lordships
the company have sent us by the last ships, and yet in a greater
quantity expected, whereupon then the Burgomasters and Schepens
are called upon for their quota, with the order and direction .of the
well advised Lords, and as they have often admonished us without any
further delay or exception. And to order their clerk and reciver to
return an answer by next Monday, with an account of receipts and
expenditures of the Tapsters' excise, wherein we wish to purge our-
selves.
Thus done in ttje Session of the Director General and Councillors
held at New Amsterdam in New Netherland this ind August, 1654.

certain letter addressed to the Director General and Councillors, dated
4th of August (1654) jn relation to certain provisions to be made, and
376
also to provide for the payment of their quota in making the general
works of the country. Therefore the Burgomasters and Schepens
aforesaid, having made an estimate of the expenses incurred, that the
outside and inside works made in this year and the last year amount
to about 16.000 guilders, wherein they are resolved together with the
other Courts of Justice to make up their quota, which they estimate
at about 3,000 guilders as their portion, and they do engage to furnish
the same provided that the Director General and Councillors shall
authorize the Burgomasters and Schepens to lay a tax on real estate,
under the jurisdiction of this Court of Justice, wherever they find it.

5 At a Common Council,
[ held 14th October. 1795.
"Whereas it hath been represented to this Board, in behalf of Mr.
Lawrence Embree, one of the Commisioners of the Alms House, that
the company of comedians in this city, some time since, presented him
with forty pounds for the use of the poor,— that although, he disap-
proved of a donation so circumstanced, he thought it hfs duty to suft"er
it to be deposited with him. until the sense of the Magistrates respect-
ing the same could be obtained. Whereupon the Board came to the
following resolutions, viz. —
Resolved— 'Vh^.i it appears that the play-house was opened by the
said company of comedians without the license or permission of the
civil authority, which in the opinion of this board, is a thing unprece-
dented and offensive.
380
Resolved— Tha.t while so great a part of this city still lies in ruins,
and many of the citizens continue to be pressed with the distresses
brought on them in consequence of the late war, there is a loud call to
industry and economy, and it would in a peculiar manner be unjusti-
fyable in this corporation to countenance enticing and expensive
amusements. That among these a play-house theatre, however re-
gulated, must be numbered, while under no restraint, it may prove a
fruitful source of dissipation, immorality, and vice.
Resolved— That the acceptance of said donation, by the advice of
this board, might authorize a conclusion, that they approved of open-
ing the said theatre, and that therefore it be, and it hereby is recom-
mended to Mr. Embree. to return the same to the person from whom
he received it.
Ordered that the aforegoing resolutions be published in all the news-
papers of this city.

5 In Common Council, on Tuesday the 3d of
\ April, 1787.
Mr. Mayor laid before the Board a concurrent Resolution of the
Senate and Assembly, dated the 26th November. 1784, which was
read, purporting, "That the Monument by the United States in Con-
gress, ordered to be erected to the memory of Major General Mont-
gomerie, be erected in the City of New York, at such particular place
as the Mayor, Alderman and Commonalaty of the said city in Common
Council convened, shall appoint." And Mr. Mayor ob.served to the
Board that the respect due to the memory of the great Soldier and
Patriot demanded the first attention of the Board to the fixing on a
suitable place in this City for the erecting of the said Monument, and
that the same be put up without delay.
The Board therefore proceeded to the consideration of a place for
erecting the Monument, and the front of St. Paul's Church in this City
was unanimously agreed to be the most proper place.
And thereupon it was ordered that a Committee be appointed to con-
sult with the Church Wardens and Vestrymen of the Episcopal
Church on the subject, and if approved of by them, that the Com-
mittee take order and direct the said Monument to be properly
erected accordingly. Ordered, that Aldermen Gilbert, Bayard, and
Hazard, and Messrs. Van Zandt, and Van Dyck be the Committee and
that Mr. Mayor, be requested to advise and assist the Committee in
the business.
FIRST ORGANIZATION OF CONTINENTAL ARMY.
New York Regiments.
The first germ of the Army of the United Colonies was the militia
of the State of New York. On the 26th of May. 1775. the Continental
Congress " resolved unanimously, that the militia of the State of New
York, be armed, trained and kept in constant readiness to act at a
moment's warning." It was also by unanimous resolution recom-
mended to the Convention of New York to persevere the more vigor-
ously in preparing for their defence. This was the first important
military movement of the new and first Continental Congress.
On the 14th of June, 1775. the Congress appointed rules and regula-
tions for the government of the army. The militia then in service
being thus considered to be embodied as '• the army." The action of
Congress resulted in a general organization by the appointment of one
General-in-Chief four Aiajor-Generals. and eight Brigadier-Generals
and the general stall' of the army. It was on this occasion that George
Washington,. Esq., received all the ballots as General-in-Chief and
rising in his place on the floor, modestly but gracefully accepted the
trust.

On the following 22d of June, it was resolved that officers then
in the army receive their commissions through the new General-in-
Chief. This would seem to be a formality necessary to their change
of character from provincial militia to the army of the United Colonies.
Six days after this resolution Colonel Van Schaicli was commissioned,
being the first officer commissioned by Congress for the war in this
State. Early in the ensuing session, viz., January 9th 1776. Congress,
passed the following :—•• iJe,<oZred, That Colonel Van Schaick, Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Yates, and Major Gansevoort be continued in the ser-
vice of the United States, and that they take command of the battalion
to be levied in New York." Within a few days, however. Congress
found such a force entirely inadequate, to the protection of so large
and important a territory ; accordingly we find that on the 19th of
January (ten days intervening), it was resolved. •■ That four battalions
be raised in the colony of New York for the defence of that colony,
and that the council of safety of New York be requested with all pos-
sible expedition to transmit the names of a number of gentlemen — at
least two for each command out of whom Congress may elect field-
officers for said battalions. In due time New York furnished her four
complete regiments which were officered as follows — so far as at pre-
sent can be ascertained.

The State Library has in vain been searched for information as to the
pay and emolument offered to the officers and troops summoned into
service for tie public defence. The law of the Colonial Congress
makes no reference to the subject, based apparently upon the confi-
dent reliance that the soldiers would come into the field and do the
fighting first and talk about the pay afterwards. The New York bat-
talions in their minute organization were probably under the more
immediate legislation of the Provincial Council. No records of this
385
council are to be found in the State Library at Albany, which is cer-
tainly a lamentable defect in its historical department.
Lord Stirling was appointed and acted as Colonel of the Somerset
militia. Which immediately applied to the Continental Congress ap-
pointing him Colonel of the regiment of New Jersey.
November I3th. — In Common Council. Present — Merritt. Mayor and
others. Resolved, in consequence of the ruinous situation of the Citty

next, provided •• the magistrates of said city doe appoint a bellman or
some other civil watch to go rund the citty in the night time to pre-
vent irregularities that may happen, or fire. etc. Whereupon the
board resolve, that four sober, honest men be appointed to lieep a
watch in tliis citty every night until the 25th of March next, and that
they hourly go through the several wards of the city during the said
time to prevent irregularities.

the respective streets,'" according as the mayor and two aldermen and

humility, profession of obedience, lamentations of disentons among
themselves, and prayer fore his influence to heal the same. Uth.—

for entertainment of his excellency. Ilichard, Earl of Bellamont,
captain-general, etc., etc., and a committee appointed to make a bill

derman Provoost and Mr. Uuykink appointed to take care that the
publick hous of ofKce on the dck be cleaned and put in repair and a
person appointed daily to keep the same clean. A committee ap-
pointed to revise the laws. This tlie passon for condificatiou appears
to be of early date. 28th.— All the inhabitants of the city, " their ap-
prentices and children that were here at the time the charter was
granted," be deemed freemen, they registering their names (but none
under 21 years), and the oath administered to all who come to be

December 23, 1702.— At a Common Council held at the City Hall^
present. Philip Frenck. mayor : Samson Shelton Borotighton. recorder;
Jacobus Van Cortlandt. John Corbell, William Smith, aldermen.
Ordered, that the arms of the late governour, or the Earl of Bellemont
and Captain Nanfan. which are fastened in the wall of the City Hall, be
by the marshal of this city forthwith pulled down and broken, that the
wall be filled up, and that the mayor issue his warrant to the treasurer
for the payment of the charge thereof. On his arrival a salute was
ordered by the corporation and four barrels of powder appropriated.
His commission was published 2d of April, 1698, and the commission
of John Nanfan, lieutenant governour. It was on the 28th of March,
1701. that the ••court agreed with William Mumford, stone-cutter, to
find stones and carve thereupon the king's arms, the Earl of Bellamount
arms and the lieutenant-governour's arms, according to the dimension of
the several squares left in the front of the City Hall." This is ordered
to be done within the space of six months. The cost was to be £41 4s.
current money of New York. Therefore it is probable that the Earl's
arms and those of Nanfans were put up in September, 1701, and taken
down and broken in December. 1702. This was occasioned by the part
Bellamount and Nanfan took against the aristocratick party of which
Nicholas Bayard was one of the leaders, and when Cornbury arrived
the party of the Duch, or the people, was put down and the arms of
their leaders disgraced by being taken from the front of the new City
Hall in Wall street, finished during Bellemount's administration and
broken. The King's arms remained until 1776, when, on the reading
of the Declaration of Independence some of the citizens threw them
down and broke the tablet to pieces. 1703. January loth.— The com-
mon council humbly beg Lord Cornbury to help on the work of pro-
curing a schoolmaster for the free school. Philip French, the mayor
paid £19 10s. for thirty days service in the general assembly, as
representative of the city.

£9 10s. 3d., paid by him for a bonfire, beer and wine on her Majesty's
