against which the exception of Res Judicata having been proposed by the advocate fiscal, and mauregnault having replied in the principal case, as well as answering against the aforesaid exception of Res Judicata having concluded to the rejection thereof, the advocate fiscal by way of duplica in the principal case requested that the aforesaid mauregnault, on account of the sharp, foul, and scandalous expressions set down in the first-mentioned reply in the principal case, might be corrected, either with an imprisonment on bread and water for the time of eight days, or with a heavy pecuniary fine, or otherwise as should be found to belong in good justice, and further persisted by duplica, the matter concerning the request for amplification of the conclusion of response and relief of production was fully argued by the parties and held in a state for judgment; but upon further resumption of the same matter, it having been perceived that the just-mentioned exception of Res Judicata was not yet fully argued, the parties were ordered by interlocutory sentence dated the 9th of January 1737, instead of ruling on the mentioned exception of Res Judicata and the further mutual requests dated 3rd of October and 28th of November 1736, to first fully argue the same exception on the next court day; so that the mentioned advocate fiscal, in accordance therewith, brought this onto the roll on the 16th following, and it being fully argued by the parties, the case in that respect was then de novo held under advisement; subsequently it was determined by this Council on the 23rd of the same month of January by sentence concerning the aforesaid mutual requests and exception of Res Judicata to admit the same exception, and consequently the first member of the petitioner's made request was rejected absolutely, but with respect to the second member rejected for the present, and he mauregnault was ordered to bring the same onto the roll of this Council on the next court day; as well as on account of such indecent, foul, and odious scandalous and slanderous expressions, both in his submitted libels and uttered and set down on the public roll, condemned to a fine of five hundred rixdollars for the benefit of the council chamber, with special interdiction from using such expressions and foul scandalous language in the future, upon pain of arbitrary correction, and condemnation in the costs incurred both with respect to the mutual requests and the proposed exception; after the pronunciation of which the mentioned mauregnault having immediately declared himself to find himself aggrieved thereby, not only by that but also by the sentence of the 26th of September of the past year, and therefore wishing to enter into revision of both, requesting therefore that a record might be kept thereof, this was opposed by the advocate fiscal, who concluded to the denial of the same request; which having been fully argued by the parties, the requested record was granted to him mauregnault

Bengalese Coromandel Senior merchant of this Castle, defendant in this case, it was moved on the 18th of June of this year by the advocate fiscal concerning private trade against him, defendant, that by sentence of this Council he should be dismissed from office, rank, and salary, and moreover be condemned in the costs; against which, having answered on behalf of the defendant and moved for dismissal cum expensis, this case was subsequently brought to a state for judgment. Whereupon, by interlocutory sentence of this Council dated the 26th of November of this year, the lord advocate fiscal was ordered to demand, through the ordinary course of justice, from the lord orphan masters of this city, as having under their Reverences' administration the estate and succession of the late senior merchant and chief cashier Jan No. 33 sale of goods 3708 Jan van Zandschot, and to furnish to this Council an authentic extract from the book of the said senior merchant van Landschot of the credit and debit concerning the origin of the debt of the defendant herein, together with the closing balance of the account arising therefrom in the sum of 70590: 14 rixdollars, with reservation of the costs until the conclusion of the case in chief. Thus, by virtue of the said interlocutory sentence, on the 3rd of December following, the lord advocate fiscal summoned on the roll of this Council not only the lord orphan masters in their aforementioned capacity, but also the said Theeling; whereupon, on the day of the hearing, fourteen days having been requested on behalf of the lord orphan masters to take counsel, as well as Coromandel Bengalese goods as well as on behalf of the said Theeling, having declared that he could not make himself a party thereto, the requested fourteen-day adjournment was granted to the lord orphan masters. Jan Hilgers, member of the esteemed college of the lords heemraden of this city's environs, having special power of attorney and authorization from Mrs. Euphemia Engelbert, widow of the late Mr. Diderik van Domburg, in his lifetime governor and director of Ceylon, in that capacity plaintiff and appellant with the clause of relief in this case, it was concluded on the 18th of June 1737 by written demand by the Ceylon fiscal Martin Weier—concerning the fact that the cashier Johannes Jacobus Cruse, by order of Mr. Domburg, had received in the Company's small money treasury at Colombo, contrary to the express prohibition of No. 33 sale of 3709 their High Excellencies the High Indian Government, clipped and demonetized money, etc.—that the original defendant in the first instance, as widow, administrator, and heir of the late Mr. Diderik van Domburg, governor of Ceylon, should by definitive sentence of the Council of Justice there be condemned to pay and satisfy to the Honourable Company such sum of twenty-eight thousand three hundred ninety-three rixdollars and fifty-three light stivers as set forth in the aforesaid claim, cum expensis, or for such other purpose, etc. And subsequently, on the 17th of December 1737, by judgment of the Council of Justice at the aforementioned place, the claim and conclusion were granted, consequently condemning the original defendant in the aforesaid capacity Coromandel Bengalese to in the aforesaid capacity, to refund and actually pay to the Honourable Company a sum of twenty-eight thousand three hundred ninety-three current rixdollars and fifty-three light stivers—the rixdollars calculated at 60 light stivers—and this as compensation and satisfaction for the damage that had been done and caused to it by the receipt of a considerable sum of sixty-one thousand eight hundred nine and a quarter rixdollars in clipped and demonetized payments into the great cash room there during the administration of the original defendant's deceased husband, the governor of Ceylon, Mr. Diderik van Domburg, with condemnation of the original defendant in the costs of the lawsuit. But of which judgment the said defendant, having found herself aggrieved, instituted an appeal No. 33 sale of 3710. before this Council, and for the prosecution thereof, by power of attorney on the 8th of April last, constituted the aforesaid appellant herein; who then also, on the 2nd of July of this year, on the roll of this Council, by written criminal claim concluded for the nullity and correction of the judgment in question, and that this Council, doing what the lords judges in the first instance ought to have done, should still dismiss the claim and conclusion made by the lord fiscal defendant, plaintiff in the first instance, absolve the original appellant thereof, and furthermore condemn the lord fiscal defendant in the costs of both instances; whereupon, by the lord advocate fiscal of India as replacing the Bengalese goods Coromandel the Ceylon fiscal Dirk Stokvis, a copy of everything and a fourteen-day term having been requested to respond; whereupon, on the 13th of August last, by the advocate fiscal on the roll of this Council a written libelous answer having been served and at the same time a stay of proceedings for the period of one year requested by petition, for reasons set forth more at large in the aforesaid petition; against which request having been answered in writing by attorney Van Vliet for his principal, this case, after completed pleadings, was stayed on the 20th following; whereupon, on the 27th following, the advocate fiscal having requested of this Council by petition letters rogatory in optima forma, in order that the aforesaid documents to the Council of Justice there No. 33 sale of

to send over there and, in the manner aforementioned, to bring under oath against the widow Domburg, provided that beforehand an authentic copy thereof was handed over to her in due time and legally cited and intimated, in order to be able to submit counter-questions if advised to do so, the said advocate fiscal was not refused this, so that the said documents, together with our requisitorial letters, were immediately dispatched thither. Ioan de Roode, former senior merchant in the service of the Honorable Company and alderman of this city, Petrus Albertus van der Parra, junior merchant, and Adriaen van Ravestijn, bookkeeper in the aforementioned service, as having the charge and power of attorney of the Jewish merchant and resident at Cochim, De Sima Sambon Rotenburg, native of Frankfurt am Main, according to the power of attorney executed on 4 March 1738 before the sworn clerk Gerrit van Dorpen and witnesses at Cochim, thus and in that capacity defendants in the case of appeal with the clause of relief against the undue levying and prosecution of this appeal. In this case, by the junior merchant and former fiscal of Malabar, Corijn Stevens ratione officii, against the original defendant Samson Rotenburg regarding the chartering of the Company's vessel Proostwijk with contraband goods, when the same had departed as a passenger with the aforementioned vessel and had thus arrived back at Cochim, on 8 February 1737 there, a written criminal claim was served, and at the conclusion thereof it was demanded that by definitive sentence he should be declared to have incurred such penalties as the placards and statutes of the High Indian Government of Batavia, as well as of the aforementioned Commandery, did dictate, and that in consequence thereof the seized five thousand imperial thalers sequestered in the Company's warehouse should be declared confiscated, one half for the Honorable Company and the other half for the fiscal, together with, in addition, a fine to be divided at the discretion of the judge, one half for the leper house outside the city of Cochim and the other half for the fiscal as above, with costs, or for such other purpose as the Council of Justice there might deem and find appropriate for the maintenance of the Company's trade. Subsequently, on 27 August 1737, according to the sentence of the Council of Justice at Cochim, the claim and conclusion made and taken by the above-mentioned fiscal Corijn Stevens upon and against the original defendant was rejected as not being sufficiently supported and substantiated by clear and convincing evidence, and it was thereupon ordered that the sequestered chest and the cash found therein, to the amount of a sum of five thousand silver imperial thalers, be returned and handed over to the defendant as his own lawful money, and that the said defendant should be free to institute his action and claim against his wrongful accuser, the merchant and Mocha resident Willem van den Berg, if he should be so advised; furthermore, the said Willem van den Berg was condemned in all the costs and expenses of justice incurred and fallen during this lawsuit. Against which sentence the said fiscal Corijn Stevens, having constituted himself appellant to this Council, and on 30 July of this year, through the advocate fiscal of India, as replacing in office the repeatedly mentioned Malabar fiscal Corijn Stevens ratione officii, against the defendants in their ascribed capacity on the roll of this Council, concluded firstly for the validation of the obtained appeal with the clause of relief against the undue prosecution of this appeal; furthermore, serving a written claim in the case of appeal, concluding at the end of the same for the nullity and correction of the sentence in question, and that this Council, doing that which the lords judges in the first instance ought to have done, would be pleased still to adjudicate the claim and conclusion made and taken in the first instance upon and against the original defendant, with the costs of both instances. Whereupon the attorney Hartman, for and on behalf of the said defendants in their qualified capacity, (after he had consented to the requested validation) requested a copy of everything, and a period of four weeks to act as he should be advised, which was also granted to the said Hartman, the above-mentioned Van der Parra having been discharged from this case at his request by disposition of 5 November; and this case having been brought on the roll on the 3rd of this month in order still to purge the default of answer and further to answer, the attorney Van Vliet, on behalf of the remaining defendants in their qualified capacity, then requested an extension of this term for the duration of one month on account of the voluminousness of the papers, which was also granted to him after the lord advocate fiscal had consented thereto. The above-mentioned lawsuits, the conclusions taken in the respective claims, their termination, and the pending litigation, with regard to their contents, have been briefly cited in substance here above, in so far as they agree with the criminal roll of the Council of Justice of the Castle of Batavia and the proceedings held. Batavia, 31 December 1738. Schuijtenburg, Secretary.

Whereupon, the sentiment of the remaining members being requested, Mr. Pieter Hendrik Schook and Mr. Pieter Willem Lammens concurred with the above-mentioned defense, insofar as it concerns the matters that occurred and were settled in their presence and attendance, and Mr. Jacob vanden Bosch distinctly regarding everything; but Mr. Theodorus van Reverhorst, Mr. Cornelis Phillips, and Mr. Reijnier Stapel declared that, whereas the passing of the resolution by which the secretary of this council was authorized to act against the Orphan Chamber in the case of revision was adopted by a majority of votes, and their honors were of contrary sentiment, they still persist therein, being of the opinion that, if a party had to be assigned to the Orphan Chamber in this case, this ought to have been the advocate fiscal, as representing the right of the high authority, and not the secretary of this council; likewise, for that reason, not being able to substantiate the contrary, but leaving it to the accountability of those who, by majority, issued the disputed order of the 4th of October 1737. And it is further resolved to present these minutes, together with the remonstrance of Mr. Willem Vincent Helvetius cited herebefore with its annexes, to their High Excellencies in fulfillment of their respected orders contained in the aforesaid resolution.

and damages that the said Francisco might have already suffered through the detention of his person; that the petitioner, finding himself aggrieved in the highest degree by the aforementioned sentence, did record his appeal thereof to this Council within the proper time, and subsequently requested in Court that the said recorded appeal might be granted, but that the above-mentioned Council of Justice at Colombo had seen fit on 9 August 1737 to reject that recorded appeal with condemnation in the costs of that incident; and that the petitioner, having the greatest interest in having all the documents used in the aforementioned lawsuit sent over here, and the case further examined and determined by us, could therefore find no other way than to address himself to us (as he stated), requesting for that purpose our provision. So it is that we, having considered everything and having found no reasons why a writ of appeal with the clause of inhibition, relief, and if necessary compulsory production should not be granted to the petitioner, hereby resolve to request the Honorable High Government of these lands to order the government of Ceylon to ensure that the above-mentioned Andries Francisco be duly summoned to appear or send an authorized proxy on 6 May of the upcoming year 1739 before this Council, in order to see the aforementioned sentence annulled and invalidated by us, or at least amended and corrected, to sustain the same as his counsel shall advise, and likewise to answer to such request as the petitioner serving on the day of hearing shall make to be relieved against the improper prosecution of his aforementioned appeal; and having heard the party, to see the petitioner provided by us against him with such remedy of justice, and also of grace (if needed), as shall be found appropriate, and further to proceed as is lawful; with notice to those of the aforementioned Council of Justice of the Castle of Colombo to appear likewise on the said day or to send an authorized proxy, if they deem fit and insofar as this case concerns them; with further orders, under penalty of a certain large forfeiture to be incurred to the contrary, that the aforementioned defendant and notified parties shall not attempt or innovate anything to the prejudice of the aforementioned appeal, and if anything has been attempted or innovated, to repair the same immediately and without delay and to restore it to its first and proper state; and furthermore, if necessary, to order those of the repeatedly mentioned Council of Justice of Colombo to send over here at the first opportunity the papers belonging to the lawsuit in question, authenticated in the original; and in case of opposition regarding the just-mentioned compulsory production, to summon the opposing parties to appear likewise on the aforementioned day or to send an authorized proxy before this Council, to state the reasons thereof, to answer to such claim and conclusion as the petitioner for the aforementioned purpose shall wish to make and take, and further to proceed as is lawful.

It having been discussed repeatedly by the noble gentleman President and members of this Chamber concerning the poor condition of the estates of various persons who happen to appoint the Orphan Chamber as executors of their estate, so that upon accepting the same one is very much apprehensive whether they are sufficient and can serve to satisfy their creditors, the more so for the present time wherein real property daily falls and declines in value, besides it furthermore happening sometimes that this Chamber remains in doubt for two or three years whether some estates are solvent or insolvent when the deceased have any matters outstanding in the fatherland, as a clear example is evident regarding the estate of Miss Deliana Blesius in her lifetime, widow of the late Water Fiscal Leonard Weijer, Jan van Landschof, and various others of modest extraction, this Chamber finds it impossible to advise declaring such estates insolvent so long as the same does not become fully apparent to them, considering the honored resolution of your High Nobilities, taken in the Council of India under date of the 9th of August 1688, very expressly dictates that in case any estates are left behind in the aforesaid manner, of whose sufficiency one might doubt, that then, in order to preserve the reputation of the deceased, they shall be held sufficient for so long until the contrary becomes apparent, in which time their Reverences are then bound for conscience sake, to halt the heavy interest which excessive capitals drag along (and in the aforesaid time come to diminish the estate noticeably), to pay off something in deduction to various creditors, in order, if it were possible, to maintain the estate and the dignity of the deceased, when it then happens that the estate must truly be declared insolvent and handed over to the sequestrator, and this body to that end addresses itself to such court of justice under which the estate falls, the gentlemen judges by their disposition order that the orphan masters must return all the monies which have been paid under caution de restituendo, again in No. 33 Coromandel Bengalese Sale of

3734 to collect and to deliver in cash to the sequestrator, as can be seen from the disposition rendered by the Reverend Board of Aldermen of this city on the surrender of the insolvent estate of Reijnier de Roos, annexed hereto for the honored consideration of Your High Nobilities. This Board having then considered that this prerogative is not otherwise expressed in their instructions than in article 47, comprising the delivery of the monies of missing orphans, they have nevertheless intended to conduct themselves according to the content of the aforementioned disposition, and to release no more monies except under the aforementioned security. When certain persons appeared here and there who came to object to this Board as if their Honors could make no laws and had as yet neither authority nor qualification for this, the orphan masters were frequently brought into the utmost embarrassment to release their monies securely. And having taken into consideration that the clause in case of cautie de restituendo is null and void ipso jure, as well as of no force or importance if the estate is found sufficient and solvent; and on the other hand, being found insolvent, it must enjoy the law drafted for insolvent estates, whereof under the title of desolate estates, article 16, it is said that whoever wishes to take up any monies allocated to him by preference or concurrence, shall first have to provide good and sufficient sureties to restore the same, if it should afterwards be found to be proper. Yea, Yea, even this privilege is granted by Your High Nobilities to the respective Secretaries of Justice under the title Sentences and Executions, article 24, reading thus: the monies proceeding from executed goods shall be collected by the bailiff and messenger respectively, and shall at all times be delivered by the Secretary to whom it belongs, de restituendo, within the time of precisely six weeks after the sale. Wherefore this Board, in order to prevent damages which their Honors might otherwise have to undergo even in their private persons through the delivery of the monies without security, as recently happened to the retired members of the estate masters regarding the estate of the Chinese Captain Lim Isoenqua, have thought fit, unanimously resolved, and deemed best to address themselves hereupon to Your High Nobilities, with the humble request that by the favor of Your High Nobilities it may be permitted to this Board to release no monies to estate creditors other than under cautie de restituendo, in the manner as such is permitted and ordered to the Board of Estate Masters by their instructions, article 12, where it is said: the goods being distributed as aforesaid, the said estate masters are ordered to pay pro rata to the creditors from the proceeds as well as from collected debts and other ready monies, provided they provide sufficient cautie de restituendo, in case more creditors should come forward afterwards; and article 13: whereafter the remainder shall be divided and distributed among the lawful heirs according to the laws drafted on the matter of intestate succession, provided that they shall likewise, as aforesaid, be bound to provide sufficient security, in order that this Board not only be freed from damages, but also with all vigilance, according to the tenor of their sworn oath, to preserve the right of the widows and orphans in good conscience.

The President and members of the Council of Justice of this Castle, having received an extract from the minutes of what was handled and resolved in the Council of the Indies on the date of the 4th of the past month of July, accompanied by an authenticated copy of a certain petition presented to Your High Nobilities by the Lords Orphan Masters of this city, tending to the effect that it might be granted to Their Reverences, just as to the Estate Masters, to pay out no monies to estate creditors other than under cautie de restituendo, but concerning which it has pleased Your High Nobilities, before disposing of the principal matter, to obtain the advice and opinion of this Council as to how far the paying out of such monies under the aforesaid security to estate creditors is legally admissible and can stand; this Council shall have the honor, serving as advice to Your High Nobilities, to state: That, regarding how far it is legally admissible and can stand to pay out any monies to estate creditors not otherwise than with cautie de restituendo, the same is directly and entirely contrary to all laws and received practice, both in the Netherlands and in these lands, since it is notorious and well known that no creditors or legatees, in whatever case it might be, are bound or obligated, upon receiving their debt monies or legacies when the estate of the deceased is solvent and sufficient, to have to provide any security before the receipt thereof; for such has never been granted and conceded in the Netherlands to anyone other than the Chambers of Desolate Estates, and in these regions by statutory laws to the Secretaries of Justice as curators and sequestrators of desolate and insolvent estates, see the Statutes of Batavia under the title of Desolate Estates, article 16, as well as under the title of Sentences and Executions, article 24, and especially what is to be noted in this matter after holding the hearing of preference and concurrence, as well as the decision of the judge following thereupon, as can be seen in Professor Voet, ad titulum Digestorum qui potiores in pignore vel hypotheca habeantur, number 10; all the more because this Council considers that the Lords Orphan Masters, entering into an estate of a deceased, are not and cannot be recognized as anything other than administrators and executors of the will of the deceased, as well as resolvers of his estate, representing him in all things, and therefore having no more or greater right than the deceased would have had or could have claimed while still alive, or than those whose goods they administer; nemo enim plus iuris in alium transferre potest quam ipse habuit. Furthermore, it appears quite strange to this Council how Their Reverences, by the means of their petition, can posit being apprehensive that several estates remain in doubt for two to three years whether the same are solvent or insolvent, whenever the deceased have any outstanding matters in the Fatherland, as it has pleased Their Reverences specifically to allege the estates of Deliana Blesius, widow of the late Water Fiscal Leonard Weijer, and Jan van Landschot, and several others, since it is surely all too notorious and well known that Their Reverences, by the good care of Your High Nobilities in the resolution dated 9 August 1688, are not only fully covered, but even shown the way how and in what manner Their Reverences shall have to conduct themselves in such and similar estates, both for the maintenance and security of themselves and for the greatest decency of the deceased, namely: That the first acceptance thereof shall have to take place by the Secretary of the Orphan Masters or Estate Masters under whom the estates may belong, in the presence of two commissioned members, with prior knowledge and order of their respective presidents, when everything in the house of mourning shall then first be inventoried by them, and the matters of the funeral of the deceased must be arranged in the most thrifty manner and as soberly as the condition of the deceased can possibly permit; which being accomplished, then the mentioned Secretaries, as soon as may be feasible and before proceeding to
