[E.B. O'Callaghan (ed.) (1856)] 306 NEW-YORK COLONIAL MANUSCRIPTS. ^e»'i8™anT''a /''a *'''^ game was repeated; it was a high crime; the Fiscal made great pretence and fine of 25 guiidtre. a judgment was pronounced, the contents whereof were as follows: — "Having Copy of ihe ten-«' seen the written demand of Fiscal Van der Hoeikens of and against Arnoldus tence. ° " van Hardenburch, and that in relation to the appeal from our judgment, dated " 28"" April last, as appears by the signature of the above named A. van " Hardenberch, from which judgment no appeal can lie, as the commission of " their High Mightinesses the Lords States General and his Highness of Orange, " proves to him; therefore, the Director General and Council of New Netherland, " regarding the dangerous consequences which tend to the injury of the supreme ^. " authority of the magistracy of this country, condemn the aforesaid Arnoldus " van Hardenberch in the fine of 25 guilders, payable immediately, or to be " imprisoned until the fine be paid, as an example to others." If the lion be now known by his paw, it can be seen that these people make nothing of the name of your High Mightinesses, His Highness of Orange, the honor of the magistracy, and have used the words, dangerous consequences, an example to others and more of the like description, in order to play off their own personages therewith. Jeifn^uhrS'stoJ ^® have, therefore, placed this act alongside of that perpetrated against the Douthy.
