A Dutch city and its residents relied on the peace and friendship that King Don Joan the fourth of Portugal had celebrated with the Prince of Orange. Based on news they had received about how things were handled in the East, including in Macassar, Solor, Cambodia, and their own city, the authorities announced this agreement. The previous year, ships from the city had left to conduct trade without fear of being harmed by Dutch orders. However, the opposite happened. Two ships from the city that arrived in Malacca were seized. These ships were carrying goods and advisories for the Viceroy (d'a veijras) in India. The ships were not only detained but also unloaded of everything they carried. Because the advisories never reached India, the city suffered great losses. The ships then came to the Dutch city, trusting they would be returned and released freely, but this did not happen for reasons the Dutch had. This treatment contradicted what the Dutch had publicly announced and did not match the good relations that Dutch East India Company ships had experienced the previous year with Portuguese ships on the coast. Those Portuguese ships had been allowed to come freely to the city. To show friendship, the city had gratefully received 2 Dutch ships on January 10 that had been in distress at their harbor the previous year. The city had generously given them everything they needed and requested. The city expected the same treatment from the Dutch. However, that year, Portuguese ships traveling from Macassar and Solor to the city encountered Dutch ships off the coast of Champa. The Dutch forced them to surrender using armed violence. The Portuguese ships did not resist and did not fire a single shot, trusting the Dutch came in friendship. The Dutch took everything the ships had, including the vessels themselves, leaving them only one vessel to return to the city. The Dutch said they had made an inventory of what they took and would come to the city that year to account for it. Since the Dutch and the Company had always been very precise with their words, the city hoped they would return everything taken over these 2 years. The city believed this would please the Prince of Orange. If the Dutch did otherwise and ordered the contrary, it would be violence done with Dutch permission. In that case, the city would complain to their good King and through His Majesty to the Prince of Orange. They hoped with great expectation that he would order the Dutch to return what they had taken. The city hoped that God would grant brotherly friendship and good correspondence between the Company and the Portuguese. United in this way, their enemies' strength would diminish, and nothing would be too difficult to accomplish. This would make the Company prosperous, increase Dutch reputation, and make the Portuguese grateful. The document was addressed to President Jan van Elserack, based on his authorization by Governor General Anthonio van Diemen to Antonij.

On 11 August 1663, a message was sent from Batavia castle by Bouton, who requested to speak with Radia Patoedjou. The messengers agreed to deliver this request, but the next day they brought Radia Palacca on board instead. Radia Palacca said he was the true and most powerful prince among the Bugis people. Nieuland noticed this jealousy between the leaders and requested that if Radia Patoedjou could not come in person, the king should allow someone from the Dutch to go ashore to speak with him personally. They accepted this message, and Radia Patoedjou himself came on board the next day. He said he was completely resolved and promised to travel to Batavia when Nieuland would return from the east. Nieuland then departed for Ternate and arrived there safely on 26 May.

The text then describes what happened in Ternate. Earlier reports from the Moluccas had noted that the Spanish were busy moving. Now it was confirmed they had completely relocated. Don Sepeda left on 23 April with 4 junks for Manilsa. The new Spanish governor followed on 2 June with 12 junks, 1 galley, and a small patrol boat made from a vessel. They had destroyed and burned Gammelamme, Dongiel, and Callematte. However, it appeared the Spanish still wanted to maintain ownership rights to these places even after abandoning them. The Dutch could not accept this, and some disputes arose between both parties.

On 21 May, the Spanish governor sent 3 commissioners from Gammelamme to Orange castle to meet with the Dutch commander Antonij van Voorst. The commissioners were admiral Manuel de Laronse and 2 Jesuits, Franciscus Domedes and Diego d'Esquieviel. Their commission stated that the general of Manilsa had decided to withdraw from Ternate because the weapons there had no apparent use and needed to be employed against Copinsa to assist the Dutch Company in Taiwan. They trusted the Dutch would also use discretion and regard the fortresses as if the Spanish still possessed them, since otherwise they would not have abandoned them. They requested that the Dutch protect the Chauwers and Colangers without causing them any harm or bringing them under Company control. They further recommended the Dutch not occupy any places, make any fortifications, or else they would protest. However, these commissioners returned home that same evening without achieving anything.

Commander van Voorst wrote back to the Spanish governor that he could not guarantee the king of Ternate would not occupy the places after the Spanish departure. Since Spanish Ternate and its dependencies were being left without war equipment and garrisons, the Company and the king were free to take possession if they wished, or to assign them to the kings of Ternate and Tidore. The Company had long been tired of the heavy burdens of unnecessary fortifications. He maintained that the Spanish protest was unnecessary since no abuses had occurred, and one could not accuse someone of breaking the peace who occupied another's abandoned fortress. If the Spanish were not satisfied, the commander protested against damage and injustice.

On 26 May, the governor of Gammelamme sent a response defending his protest. He based it on article 5 of the peace treaty, which stated that the king of Spain and the Dutch would retain the places they respectively held when the alliance was made. Therefore, His

Several people were arrested on consecutive days in August and September 1812:

On 5 September 1812, a sales contract was officially recorded. On 7 August 1812 at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a public sale of properties was held at the request of several men. These were Doedo Jan Lamberts, who was a deputy judge of the hamlet of Wierden and Hoge Hexel, living in Almelo in the Department of Bouches de L'Issel, and Master Gerhardus Johannes Otto Dorus Dikkers, a property owner living in Borne in the district of Delde. Also involved were Jan Koersjon and Jan Geerlink Hz, who were merchants, and Jan Gierveld, a farmer. These last three all lived in the municipality of Wierden in the district of Almelo.

These men were acting as representatives for the group of property owners of the hamlets of Wierden and Hoge Hexel. They had received special permission to act on behalf of these property owners through a private document signed on 6 March 1812 by Jan Hendrik van Buren, Dirk Kippers, Lambert Kosters, Albert Albertsen, and Berend Klompaas in Almelo. This permission was made official by G. Broeze, assistant mayor of Wierden, on 9 March, and was registered by Graval, the registration tax collector in Almelo. The permission document was attached to the sale record by the notary.

The notary, Master Jan Hendrik Warnaars, who was an Imperial Notary in Almelo, Department of Bouches de L'Issel, conducted the sale. Two witnesses were present: Egbert Peppels, a bailiff, and Hendrik Bartelink, a painter. Both lived in Almelo and were known to the notary. They had been specifically invited to attend.

    Hermanus op de Haar and his wife Janna Gierveld borrowed 825 guilders in gold or silver coins that were currently accepted as payment. They specifically agreed that they could not repay this loan using paper money or public bonds that might be introduced by the government, and they formally gave up the right to do so.

    To guarantee prompt repayment of the borrowed money and its interest, they pledged several pieces of real estate that they owned and used themselves in the municipality of Wierden as collateral:

    • A house and residence numbered 116, located on the public road at the south of Wierden, with gardens beside and in front of it, measuring about 81 rods and 46 ells in size (both garden and grassland), including a well in the garden

    • 23 January 1844, Berend Gierveld, a farmer living in the municipality of Ambt Almelo, appeared before notary Jacobus van Rumsdijk in Almelo, in the province of Overijssel.
    • Berend Gierveld officially acknowledged that he owed money to Aleida Geertruida Schrader, widow of the late Albertus Mollink, who lived in Almelo. Because she was not present, the debt was accepted on her behalf by Bernardus Egbertus Mollink, a merchant, also living in Almelo.
    • The total amount owed was 500 guilders. This debt came from two previous loans that Aleida Geertruida Schrader, widow of Albertus Mollink, had paid off on behalf of Berend Gierveld:
      1. One loan of 150 guilders that was originally owed to the heirs of the late Gerrit Hagedorn, a retired person from Almelo, based on a mortgage document from 13 November 1759, passed before Georg Henrik Hein, judge of the manor of Almelo.
      2. Another loan of 300 guilders that Berend Gierveld had taken from the late Albertus Mollink on 6 November 1823.
    • The two loans together totaled 450 guilders, plus accumulated interest and other money that had been advanced to Berend Gierveld. Berend Gierveld acknowledged and agreed with this amount.
    • Berend Gierveld promised to repay the 500 guilders to Aleida Geertruida Schrader, widow of Albertus Mollink, or to whoever held the legal claim to this debt.
    • The repayment could be made on the 1st of May of any year, provided proper notice was given at least six months in advance to the appropriate party.
    • Until the debt was fully repaid, Berend Gierveld had to pay interest at a rate of 4 guildens per 100 guilders per year. The interest payments were due on the 1st of May each year, starting on 1 May 1845.
    • All payments had to be made in Dutch coins (gold or silver) that were legally accepted currency at the time of payment. Paper money or government bonds could not be used for payment, and Berend Gierveld explicitly gave up any legal rights to pay in those forms.
    • To guarantee the prompt payment of the loan and interest as agreed, Berend Gierveld declared that he would provide certain properties as special mortgage security.

    Hermannus op de Haar, acting for himself and on behalf of his wife Sanna Gierveld, appeared before notary Meester Jacobus van Riemsdijk in Almelo on 27 November 1850. They were farmers living at the Zoo in Wierden.

    Hermannus op de Haar acknowledged that he owed 950 guilders to Mejufvrouw Lena Dirks, widow of the late Wicher Harmsen, a landowner living in Vriezenveen. Gerrit Engels, a prosecutor at the district court in Almelo and living in Vriezenveen, appeared on her behalf as her authorized representative and accepted the debt acknowledgment.

    The money came from funds that had been advanced to Hermannus op de Haar and his wife Janng Gierveld to pay off an earlier debt of 900 guilders plus interest that had been secured on certain properties mentioned later in the document. Hermannus op de Haar confirmed he had received the money and waived all objections, especially the objection that the money had not been paid.

    Hermannus op de Haar promised to repay the 950 guilders to Mejufvrouw Lena Dirks or to the holder of the official copy of this deed in one lump sum on 1 December of any year, provided that at least 6 months' notice had been given by either party. Until repayment, he would pay interest at 4 guilders per 100 guilders per year, payable on 1 December of each year, starting on 1 December 1851. Payment had to be made in Dutch currency at the exchange rate of the day of actual payment. He specifically agreed that payment could not be made in banknotes, paper money, or other public securities that might be in circulation, and he waived the right to use such forms of payment.

    As security for the prompt repayment of the 950 guilders and its interest, Hermannus op de Haar declared on behalf of himself and his wife Sanna Gierveld that he would pledge and place a special mortgage on several parcels of land, both built and unbuilt, belonging to their farm called Klaarman, which they owned jointly and which were registered in the cadastral records of the municipality of Wierden.

    On 11 August 1663 in Batavia at the castle, money was distributed totaling 15,956 guilders and 16 stuivers. An additional 1,070 guilders and 12 stuivers was kept in reserve to serve as extra funds when ships arrived from Amboina. The king and several important leaders were very displeased about the Bongijs people who had fled to Bouton. They feared that the Dutch would make war on them through these Bongijs people with help from the kings of Ternate and Bouton. They became even more convinced of this because they had intercepted certain letters from Radia Patoedjou in Bouton to his friends on Celebes, which mentioned this matter. This was made even clearer by another letter from the harbor master representing the king of Ternate living in Bouton, named Cassombo. The leaders could not be convinced otherwise. Prince Callematte urgently requested an answer to his letter so he could decide what to do. Nieuwlandt informed him of the Dutch East India Company's intentions and showed him the pardon. The prince seemed very interested in this and pleased with it. He knew that even though the Company had not given him a written answer to his previous request, he still might receive the silver helmet and ring collar. He remained willing and intended to place himself under the Company's protection as soon as he received an answer to the letter he had sent to Gammelamme and from there to the Manilsas. However, this was not as important to him anymore since the Spaniards had left Ternate and he had lost his excuse. He would now try harder to leave Macassar, as he himself had indicated, to avoid causing problems between the Company and the people of Macassar and to not irritate the people of Macassar. Before the Company's ships from the eastern regions arrived at Macassar, he would spread the news that he had made peace with his brother the king of Ternate and was completely resolved to go there. He had no difficulty with this because the people of Macassar had previously allowed him to do so, given that he would leave of his own free will. Money was distributed in Batavia at the castle totaling 12,975 guilders and 10 stuivers as follows:
    • 876 guilders to the 4 gallarans or electors
    • 558 guilders to the fiscal officer and harbor master
    • 857 guilders and 6 stuivers to other gentlemen together
    • 304 guilders to Prince Callematte
    • 203 guilders to Daing Manasse
    On 11 August 1663 in Batavia at the castle, the prince had appeared under their protection and might leave again in the same way. He was held in low regard among the people of Macassar and supported himself only with the small income of his wife, who was the sister of Radia Tello. Therefore, they did not need to make much effort with him. He would come on his own. Francisco Viera had sent some vessels to Timor the previous year to fetch sandalwood. Since they had returned without success, he used this as his excuse for not being able to leave. He still had a good quantity lying on Timor, without which he did not want to leave Macassar. He solemnly declared that his intention was nothing other than to leave Macassar. He had ordered that a suitable vessel be bought in Macao an

        The document described the final terms of a land auction in the Netherlands. The seller reserved a deliberation period of half a time period after the final sale was completed, which would end in 1820 when the first harvest would be collected. During this period, the seller could reject buyers and keep the land unsold. If the seller chose to keep the land, they would pay the land tax but not the higher fees, transfer taxes, or poor relief taxes. The buyer had the right to name a co-buyer or substitute buyer either immediately or within 24 hours at the office of the notary after the final sale, provided they guaranteed that person's financial reliability and accepted personal responsibility for them. If disputes arose about the sale, the notary had the authority to make final decisions or order a re-auction of the property. Until a buyer was definitively accepted or the property remained unsold, other bidders up to and including the previous highest bidder would be released from their bids. The seller reserved the right to first auction the pieces of farmland, the Bré piece, and the road pieces separately in parcels, then offer them again as a whole, and finally accept whichever method produced the higher price. Six parcels were offered for sale:
        1. A piece of farmland located in Kempe, measuring approximately 6 spinden, situated between Esch Graven and the land of Derk Dekhari. Annual tax: 1.00 guilders, transfer tax: 0.30 guilders, poor relief: 0.20 guilders.
        2. A piece of farmland called Beker Attes Stukje or Bekers-stukke, measuring approximately 3 schepels, located at Groenen weg with one end at the Erve Goosselink. Annual tax: 1.50 guilders, transfer tax: 0.40 guilders, poor relief: 0.30 guilders.
        3. Farmland called Bréstukke, divided into three parts: First part measuring approximately 1 schepel, located with the north side at the land of Erve Staman and one end at Groenenweg; second part measuring approximately 5 spinden; third part measuring approximately 5 spinden, located next to the second part and the land of Erve Haarlamp. Each part had annual tax of 0.75 guilders, transfer tax of 0.25 guilders, and poor relief of 0.15 guilders.
        4. A piece of farmland measuring approximately 2 schepels, located with the north side at the land of Gerrit Erhuis and ending at Zaandink Pad, with the south side next to the fifth parcel. This land was subject to tithe, valued at 1 guilder yearly for registration purposes. Annual tax: 1.00 guilders, transfer tax: 0.30 guilders, poor relief: 0.20 guilders.
        5. A piece of farmland measuring approximately 2 schepels, located between the fourth and sixth parcels, also ending at Zaandink-Pad and subject to tithe valued at 1 guilder yearly. Annual tax: 1.00 guilders, transfer tax: 0.30 guilders, poor relief: 0.20 guilders.

        • The sale would be conducted in Dutch guilders of 100 cents each, using a bidding system with increases and decreases to find the highest or first bidder.
        • The person who made the highest bid would receive what was listed for each parcel and would have the right to make the first increase. The buyer had to pay one-tenth of a cent from this and all further increases, together with the starting bid, a drinking money payment, and a charity payment (also listed per parcel), immediately after the final award, without any reduction from the purchase price.
        • The buyer was required to pay 10% of the total purchase price owed to the notary at his office in Almelo within 10 days after the final award. The notary would use six-tenths of this amount to cover the costs of registration, publication, seals, and related sale expenses, and could keep the rest as his fee. If the buyer requested it, the costs of transfer and a copy of the official record would have to be paid separately by the buyer.
        • The full purchase price had to be paid to the notary at his office in accepted gold or silver Dutch coins, in one payment without any deductions for claimed debts, on the first of July 1820, in the morning between 10:00 and 12:00. A late buyer would have to pay a penalty of 5% of the purchase price to the notary, together with the purchase price.
        • After receiving the money, the notary would pay it to Hendrik Jan Raedt and he would use it to pay off the debts described in the qualification deed mentioned earlier in the document.
        • If required, the buyer had to provide 2 sufficient guarantors approved by the notary, who would commit themselves together with the buyer, each fully responsible as main buyers, for the prompt payment of the purchase price and compliance with these conditions, giving up the rights to demand collection from the main debtor first or to split the debt. If a buyer could not or would not immediately provide guarantors, the property would be put up for sale again, to the loss and not the benefit of such unable or unwilling buyer. All higher bidders up to the starting bidder would then have to maintain their bids even if they had been outbid.
        • The properties being sold were sold in the condition, nature, and size as they were, and as they belonged to the seller Jan Gierveld as owner. They were sold with all benefits and burdens, rights and privileges that might rest on them or belong to them, whether or not these were listed in the document. Therefore, the buyer would have no claim for compensation or other legal action against the seller on any grounds.
        • The land tax burdening the properties would have to be paid by the buyer from the first of January onwards, and the buyer would take possession of the properties as soon as
