Court proceedings. Fiscal vs. Peter van den Bergh and William de Key ; in consequence of the challenge of some of the judges, the clandestine insinuations of some restless people, and the small number of the bench, which consists of only two councillors, this case is deferred until the arrival of the new director, who is hourly expected ; meanwhile, defendants are not to leave the Manhattans. [1645]
