Fully AI-GeneratedUsers of Open Archives can have summaries generated from the recognized texts (transcriptions) produced through text recognition (OCR) and handwriting recognition (HTR). Neither of these artificial intelligence tasks is perfect, but they are often more than sufficient to make the historical document understandable. In the transcripts, names are underlined in green and clickable (to search the personal entries on Open Archives for the name in question), the recognized dates have a light gray background and recognized place names have a light purple background. The results of the application of (European) artificial intelligence have not been verified by a human.


On January 31, 1829, at 1:34, a property transfer deed was signed in Haarlem. The notary was Willem Arnoldus Haselaar, a public notary in the Northern part of Holland Province. Pieter van Rijn, who had no occupation and lived on the Scheepakersdijk near the brewery "Het Schip" in district 1, number 231, sold property to Franciscus Joannes Baron van Wijkerslooth van Weerderteyn, who was the King's chamberlain and lived at Sint Jansstraat district 1, number 6.

The property consisted of about 36 bunders of pasture or haylands, located in the municipality of Zuid Schalkwijk and its surroundings in the Great Polder. The land was divided into six plots, which were located behind each other and behind the farmhouse that also belonged to the seller.

On March 16, 1735, at 6 PM, a special meeting was held. Head merchant G.B. Visscher called the council members together. The regents and Mardijkers who had gone to speak with the Topasses and Amaconders returned with a report. The Topasses were demanding several Sonebai people. During the time of head merchant Leers, there was a contract between the regents and the Topasses and Amaconders stating that these Sonebai people would stay in the Company's allied district. Since the Topasses couldn't respond further to this, they brought four Topasses who would wait for a definitive answer about this demand.

According to a document from Timor dated August 20, 1735, it was decided to protest strongly against this on behalf of the Company. If the Topasses and Amaconders would not back down from their unjust complaints, the regents were asked if they would let these Topasse troublemakers and their followers get away with such an insult in their own land, or if they would bravely resist and drive them out. The regents unanimously declared they would live and die with the Company and use their power to drive them away. Since not everyone was present, this matter was postponed until the next day for further discussion and a final decision.

The head merchant and council noted that Corneo, the emperor of Sonebai, seemed to be the main target of the Topasses, and since he was a young and simple man, they could easily manipulate him.
