Summary (also from the next page)

Residents requested permission to inspect a chest located in the merchants' warehouse. The merchants Gollewierapa and associates complained that outside the trading post, assistant Christiaan Witvogel had ordered a blacksmith to open the locks while the traders were being held in strict confinement. This was done on the orders of Isaac Selover. The purpose was to check if anything was missing from the chest. When they inspected it, they found that while the seals were undamaged, the cloth on the chest where the seals were placed was torn or broken through the middle. The head merchants Gollewierapa and Gollanareijna had reported this after the second opening.
