On March 15, 1683, Salvador de Palacios, a resident of Antwerp who was currently in this city (Amsterdam), appeared before notary Dirck van der Groe. He declared to assume responsibility and promised to indemnify merchants S. Atthias and Levi against any costs or damages resulting from their guarantorship. This guarantorship was given on May 13, 1671 before local aldermen on behalf of Luis Alvares, a resident of Paris, regarding Rron Aloares da Costa, who had arrested Luis Alvares in this city for a legal claim. The declaration was witnessed by Jacobus van der Groe and Henricus de Bruijn.

On April 16, 1652, notary Adriaen Lock went to the house of bankrupt merchant Duarte de Palatios in Amsterdam at the request of merchant Marcus Broen. Since de Palatios wasn't home, the notary spoke to his daughter about an unpaid bill of exchange. The daughter said her father was out of town and she had no authority to pay.

The bill of exchange was originally written in Hamburg on January 1, 1651 for 600 guilders and 34 stuivers. It was signed by Antonio Gomer and accepted by Duarte de Palatios. On September 21, 1651, it was transferred to Jacobus van der L. through Joan Baptista Jonckers. On April 5, 1652, it was transferred to Marcus Broen in Utrecht.

The notary formally protested the non-payment and declared that all costs, damages and interest would be claimed according to the law. This was witnessed by Abraham Oos and Jan de Bruijn.

On June 7, 1652, notary public A. Lock went to the house where Duarte de Palacios previously lived in Amsterdam. He was acting on behalf of Anthonij Lopes Gomes, a Portuguese merchant. Finding that de Palacios and his children no longer lived there, the notary located the children's new residence. The daughters informed him that their father had left the city for Italy.

The matter concerned a bill of exchange for 1054½ thalers, drawn by Duarte de Palacios on September 8, 1651. The bill was supposed to be paid by Pedro de Palacios in Hamburg to merchant Lopo Nines. However, Pedro de Palacios had refused to pay, stating that Duarte had drawn the bill for his own account without providing funds.

When presented with a demand for immediate payment, de Palacios's daughters replied that their father was in Italy and had no money to pay. This was witnessed by Abraham Bes and Hendrick Jaspers.

Nicolies Jacoos testified that Moiser Sanches, a Portuguese resident of Amsterdam aged about 37 years, made a declaration for Diego Fernandes on June 1631. The declaration concerned a sale in which the requester sold to Jan Pietersz, an Italian, a small package of Harmes tobacco weighing 181 pounds at 50 stuivers per pound, totaling 452 guilders and 10 stuivers.

The payment was arranged as follows:

• 10 pieces of English bombazine cloth at 15 guilders each, totaling 150 guilders
• 2 guilders and 10 stuivers in cash
• The remaining 300 guilders was to be paid through an assignment on Duarte de Palatios

Jan Pietersz failed to provide the assignment to pay the remaining amount, even though Palatios was willing to pay it. This declaration was made in Amsterdam on December 22, 1631, witnessed by Pieter de Bari and Daniel Baelde.
