[403]
Extraordinary Session held at Albany May 3, 1683.
Some burghers of this town appeared before me the Court and
complained that their meal, which they sent away [the sloop of] Jan Schouten,
has been attached,
They request to know the reason thereof and that their privileges be maintained.
The principal persons were :
Pieter Schulyer, david Schuyler, Robert Sanders and Jacob Lokermans.
Being asked to hand in a written complaint, they said that they made their
complaint orally because they were greatly aggrieved and they requested urgently
that the Court might be pleased immediately to provide therein in order that
they should have the same privileges as other of his Majesty’s subjects within
this province.
