In 1586-1587, several military surgeons were appointed in Stellenbosch. The local magistrate and council of heemraden (local officials) submitted a request to appoint surgeons with the rank of Cornet to each of the 5 Dragoon Companies, similar to what was already practiced at the Cape. The following surgeons were recommended and appointed:

• Jan Pieters, both workers and citizens

They testified for Jan Tades, a rope seller, about an incident where Wodigh Elties had struck Jan Tades on the head without provocation during a business discussion at Harmen Vechters' house. The only thing Jan Tades had said was that he wanted delivery of goods.

On September 18, 1628, several events took place in Amsterdam. Jan Martsen and his wife Grietge Pieters were involved in a street argument. Grietge Pieters was shouting insults, claiming someone's wife was having an affair with her husband. This led to a physical fight where they ended up on the ground, and Jan Martsen hit a woman in the face.

On the same day, Jasper Vinckel, a merchant in the city, appeared before notary Jacobo Westfrisio. He appointed Jan Coenen from Wormer to collect money from the sale of rapeseed by Hilbrant Rijertz, Pieter Janszen, and Jan Willems. The appointment was witnessed by Cornelis Claessen and Abraham de Roeff the younger.

Also appearing before the notary was Jochum Andries, a glazier approximately 53 years old.

The ship Alkmaar from the Amsterdam chamber sailed from Texel on July 27, 1688 with 250 crew members. The ship was under the command of tax official Pieter van Eellemoen. The captain was Carel. The crew included carpenter Jan Westhuijsen from Gent, barrel maker Jan Vermeulen from Middelburg, carpenter Louis de Buson from Vlissingen, and barrel maker Abraham Been from Vlissingen. The ship arrived at Batavia Castle on December 14, 1688. The document was signed by Joan van Hoorn and Isaac de S. Martin. A consumption record for the ship was made in May 1689 and verified at Batavia Castle on December 25, 1684.

On an unspecified date, Dr. Francois de Vicq and Robert de Vilq, citizens of Amsterdam, appeared before notary David Doornick. They were heirs of Matheus de Vicq and Maria de Moercoert (daughter of Guilliam de Maercoert and Maria van den Westhuijsen, who was daughter of Jan van den Westhuijsen). They appointed Ferdinand Anton Buens, a merchant from Ghent, as their representative to transfer several properties to Jan Laurenssz Haerens, a town council member of Eeckelo. The properties included:

• 25 acres of farmland, meadows and forest in the Barony of Maldegen in the Parish of Adegen, called Plasschendael, currently leased by Gerard Dogon

On June 28, 1675, Constantia van Wickevoort, wife of Director General Heereman Abrahamsz of the African and Angola coasts, appeared before notary David Doornick in Amsterdam. She held power of attorney from her husband, granted by notary Adriaen Lock on May 2 of that year.

She appointed Pieter Sandra, a merchant in Middelburgh, Zeeland, to collect 2,884 guilders and 10 stuivers from either Samuel van Westhuijsen or his brother Doctor Mathias van Westhuijsen. This sum was still owed for seven thirty-second parts of the ship named "de Griffioen", captained by Christoffel Lens, which departed from Zeeland for the African coasts on September 20, 1674.

Samuel van Westhuijsen had agreed to participate in the ownership of the ship and its cargo but had failed to pay the remaining amount. Pieter Sandra was authorized to collect this debt amicably if possible, or otherwise to seek permission from the court in Middelburgh to pursue the matter.

• Maria Pel
• Naelina

On February 5, 1704, in Bantam, a trade transaction occurred. Officials agreed to send 2 packs of gobar cloth and 100 pieces of Coromandel chintz. The goods were sold at a lower price than initially marked. The requested Cambay fabrics for the state administrator were not available at the East India Company at that time, but lead supplies would follow.

On January 31, five packs of goods were sold at 110 rijksdaalders per pack of 100 pieces. Regarding two packs of Mataram gobars and 100 pieces of Coromandel chintz, although interest was shown and money offered (at a notably lower price than what the Company paid in Coromandel), it was promised these would be sent later after discussion with the Council of India.

The letter was signed in Batavia Castle by Secretary H. Zwaardecroon on behalf of the Governor-General and Council of India. A postscript mentions that the two packs of Mataram gobars and 100 pieces of Coromandel chintz were later handed over to the mentioned servant.

On February 1, 1704, at Cape of Good Hope, several documents and items were processed:

• Papers from Mauritius arrived via the yacht Noortgouw
• Trade and accounting books from Mauritius for the years 1701-1703
• Instructions for 4 ships traveling to the homeland via Cape of Good Hope

In 1023, ships were instructed to continue their journey to Europe as quickly as possible after being resupplied. The frigate Noord-Gouw was to follow in February with trading books. Four ships had to depart immediately to comply with orders from their superiors. Salary books from 1701 and 1702 were received on December 9. The ships from Ceylon were expected to bring in 10 to 12 tons of treasure. Christoffel van Swol, president of the ship council and ordinary council member of the Indies, brought criminal case documents against Thilij Malouco regarding a scandalous assault on an elderly woman.

• The "Brandenburg" carrying someone from Bali
• A ship carrying Lantantje from Batavia
• A ship carrying Dappoer from Macassar

On February 1, 1704, at Cape of Good Hope, officials decided to arrange for 4 ships instead of the previously planned 2 ships. In January, they had intended to send two vessels to the homeland via the government, but after the quick arrival of ships from Europe, Japan, and the government, they decided to prepare 4 ships.

The ships were loaded with goods as follows:

• Ships Brandenburg and Schoonerloo, both for the Amsterdam chamber, carrying cargo worth 477,920 guilders
• Ship Belois for the Zeeland chamber, with cargo worth 174,744 guilders
• Ship Jerusalem for the Hoorn and Enkhuizen chambers, carrying cargo worth 296,623 guilders
• Additional cargo for the Delft and Rotterdam chambers in Brandenburg

The total value of cargo amounted to 950,895 guilders. The ships were to be refreshed at their destination and continue their journey to Europe without delay. The frigate Noordgouw was expected to follow in February.

On February 1, 1704, there was concern about provisions for 4 return ships at the Cape of Good Hope. The ships had not received enough peas and beans for their journey home. Since long voyages required attention to crew health, officials ordered that this shortage be supplemented when the ships arrived at the Cape, either with local beans and peas or with groats and green peas. These could be taken from ships arriving from the homeland that had surplus provisions due to shorter journeys, calculated at 3 months maximum.

Each ship received only 3 loads and 170 gantings of Cadjang beans. The ship Brandenburg still needed 4 loads and 165 gantings, while three other vessels required 2 loads and 175 gantings each, totaling 8 loads and 75 gantings for the three. The total shortfall was 10 loads.

The document was signed by several officials including:

• W. V. Outhoorn
• J. V. Hoorn
• A. V. Riebeek
• L. Pijl
• J. Cops
• Em. Borne Zee
• J. van Dam

The document was written in Batavia Castle on February 1, 1704, and was being sent via the ship Belois, accompanied by the ships Brandenburg, Schoonderloo, and Jerusalem to the Cape of Good Hope, addressed to Council Member Extraordinary of India and Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel and his council.

On February 1, 1704, at Cape of Good Hope, several matters were addressed. The four departing ships couldn't be delayed due to strict orders from superiors. Records from 1701 and 1702 were received on December 9 of the previous year.

A criminal case was brought forward by President Christoffel van Swol concerning Tsili Malouco, who was accused of assaulting an elderly woman named Bita from Sumbawa. Due to Tsili Malouco's family connection to the king of Ternate, they decided to stop the criminal proceedings to avoid offending the royal family. Instead, he was politically banished with a monthly allowance of 6 rijksdaalders.

Three court sentences were passed concerning:

• Dappoer from Macassar
• Antje from Batavia
• Gouboko, a Chinese person from Eijmuij

Additionally, two slaves were given to the Company:

• Laut, a gift from Raja Bone of Macassar
• Sipiok Bali, given due to bad behavior

The prisoners were distributed among three ships:

• Return ship Brandenburg: Sipiok, Antje, and Dappoer
• Return fluyt Schoonderloo: Gouboko
• Return fluyt Belois: Tsili Malouco

In October, cargo ships made deliveries between India, Mauritius, and Europe. The ship Jerusalem delivered goods in good condition. Plans were made to send the ship Oestgeest with supplies for the year 1704.

A crate containing 12 carbines and straps marked "C" that was missing from the ship Nigtevegt was found and will be sent on the ship Brandenburg.

27,580 pounds of gunpowder were previously unloaded from 8 different ships. An additional 4,200 pounds were taken from Lokhorst, worth 1,260 guilders.

In January, four ships were prepared to sail to their home ports:

• Brandenburg and Schoonderloo to Amsterdam chamber with cargo worth 477,920 guilders
• Beloijs to Zeeland chamber with cargo worth 174,744 guilders
• Jerusalem to Hoorn and Enkhuizen chambers with cargo worth 296,623 guilders

The total value of cargo was 959,895 guilders. The ships would be resupplied and sent to Europe as quickly as possible. The frigate Noortgouw would follow in February.

The document was signed by:

• W. van Outhoorn
• Joan van Hoorn
• A. V. Riebeek
• Laurens Pijl
• Joannes Cops
• E. M. Bornecee
• Jacob van dam
• C. van Swol
• H. de Wilde
• Abraham douglas
• A. V. Rijn
• Ad. Vander Stel

On December 9, salary books for the years 1731-1732 and related papers were received. The salary office will review these documents and await a response. Regarding criminal matters, Christoffel van Swol, president of the Council of the Indies, brought forward criminal proceedings against Tsili Malouco for assaulting an elderly woman named Bita from Sumbawa. Since the accused is related to the king of Ternate, they decided to stop the criminal proceedings and instead exile him with a monthly allowance of 6 rixdollars.

Three sentences were passed against:

• Dappoer from Macassar
• Antje from Batavia (both sentenced to chains)
• Gonbonko, a Chinese person from Eijmuij

Additionally, a slave named Laut was gifted by Raja Bone of Macassar, and Sipiok from Bali was given to the Company due to bad behavior. These convicts and exiles were distributed across three return ships:

• Ship Brandenburg: Sipiok, Laut, Antje, and Dappoer
• Return fleet Schoonderloo: Gouboko
• Return fleet Belois: Tsili Malouco

Due to a shortage of green beans and Javanese beans, the ships couldn't be properly provisioned for their journey home. Instructions were given to supplement these provisions at the Cape with local beans, peas, groats, and pork from ships arriving from the homeland.

In March, 33 prisoners who were followers of rebel Jankeer were initially put in chains to work for the East India Company on Kuiper. Of these prisoners, 11 remained at their current location. 19 were to be sent to Macassar, and the remainder to the Cape. Additionally, a Bengali prisoner from Ambon was also to be dealt with.

The least guilty among them, 11 prisoners, were released and given freedom of movement. 19 prisoners were to be sent to Macassar, and 3 were destined for the Cape to serve as chained slaves for the Company. A fourth prisoner, a Bengali standard-bearer born in Ambon, was added to this group. He was suspected of being a spy for Jankeer during the uprising.

The text also mentions Arent Silvius, a deceased merchant whose estate owed 2,628 reals to the Company, which was to be repaid through two bills of exchange to his heirs. This was decided in resolutions dated October 29 and November 6.

On September 20, William Wallace from the British island of Tortola arrived in Curaçao. He was taken to the house of Pieter Theodorus van Teijlingen, who was the fiscal officer of the island. The fiscal asked him about a recent incident in Tortola involving Robert Fausset and Captain Casper Faulk of an American schooner. Faulk had sold two boys named Joseph Gregorie and Jacob as slaves to Fausset. About half an hour after Captain Faulk had sailed from Tortola, the boys declared they had been born free.

On December 22, Wallace, who was Fausset's son-in-law, met with the fiscal again. The fiscal wanted to ensure the boys would be restored to their natural state of freedom. Wallace promised this would happen that day, and declared on behalf of his father-in-law that they would make no further claims on the boys' freedom. The boys would be restored to their natural freedom upon his return to Tortola.

Judah de Leon Senior witnessed these events and certified them on December 23. The document was translated from English to Dutch by W. Jacoboprio Junior, official translator.

On July 30, 1759, directors had to deal with taxes and poll money collection. They wanted to learn how this was done in the Suriname colony. They considered poll money one of their most important sources of income.

On August 2, 1759, the children and heirs of Benjamin Senior and Rachel Senior Henriques submitted a request about five shares of stock in their father's name. Their request to transfer payments to Benjamin Senior's widow and sons was approved.

At a meeting on August 6, 1759, three letters from the widow of Hendrik Blankenburg were read, dated January 25, February 23, and April 7, 1759. The directors made several decisions:

• Equipment for waterworks at plantation Dageraad would be sent
• Sugar and other products brought by Captain Rolwagen were sold, except coffee due to low prices
• Seven barrels of lime juice and two barrels of limes were received well
• The widow should continue sending lime products annually
• Plantation inventories were received
• Extra supplies for planters would be provided
• Printed letters for planters would be sent
• Sugar and cotton brought by Captain Vos were sold

Lieutenant Jacobus Gelskerke submitted payment lists totaling 623 guilders, 14 stuivers. The directors wanted him to submit his books on time and make payments more quickly. The appointment of I.D. Latterman as master planter at Vlissinge was postponed until they heard from the Governor.
