"Whereas Oratain, chief of Hackingbosaky, and other savages have complained several tunes, that many selfish people dare not only to sell brandy to the savages in this city, but also to carry whole ankers of it Into their country and peddle it out there, from which, if it is not pre- vented in time, many troubles will arise ; therefore the Director-tieneral sind Council of New Netherland, not knowing for the present a better way to stop it, authorise the said chief, together with the Sachem Mit- tenuurk, to seize the brandy brought into their country for sale and Hume offering to sell it and bring them here, that they may be punished as an example to others. "
This is the document given to the sachems pursu- ant to the foregoing resolution,-
"The chiefs Orutam and Mattano are hereby authorized, to seize the brandy brought into their country for sale, together with those, who bring it and conduct them hither. Done at Fort Amsterdam, in N. Netherland, the 30th of March 1662."

" Thus far in answer to the two letters, signed by the Director-General und Council and we come now to Director Stuyvesant's private letter. wherein we note above all the requests, made by some if the English neighbors, for permission to settle in considerable numbers under the Company's jurisdiction back of Staten-Island on the Raritan's Kil ; we have likewire seen from the enclosure, what your Honors have answered. We are wall pleased with it, considering expecially, that it will serve us aA a strong outpoet against the Raritan and Nevesink Avagre. We e' uld have wished therefore, that the jujert lind twen carned nt and every effort to have it continued must be bude As we understand the matter, the principal olmtacle was the appeal in criminal and capital casa, as adultery, fornication and minilar offruites, which they punish according to the law and word of God , w. do not object so much against this principle, although the laws of our Fatherland clos their eyes to then, as against giving them allute disposition of all criminal cases without ajqual to na, which right we du not like to surrender entirely , however, in case the coming in and settling at the aforeand place Ly these people in of such an importance to our nation there, then we would allow, to facilitate the matter, that in such offenes, where extraordi- pary proceedings are taken and where consequently the crime is con- freund, the appeal be waived, but this cannot be allowed in cons of ordi- mary proceedings and where the testimony makes it dubious and ancer- tain, as your Honors will easily perceive ; besides that their laws in pun- thing mich offenses are against the maximos of our Fatherland und should therefore only be practised among their own people and nut ou auch of our, who should happen to settle among them. Your Honor will do well to insist ujum this point in further negotiations with them, but only so far, that the project may not be hindered in its program Your Honor are therefore hereby authorized to treat upon this matter with the English people In auch a minner, & shall be found munt udvan- tagon for the welfare of this State and its inhabitants.
" The Jissatisfaction of our English neighbors in New England and Nova Scotia with the Maquaes savages and the consequences likely to arise therefrom, in case they should attack each other and the Maquan should be vanquiobed, together with the speciiations on auch events, are well understand by ns and we can therefore easily fall into your Honors' advice and opinions, which consist principally In that we ought to try persuade the Maquues by all puesihle means, that they give the English the satisfaction, demanded by them, even though some goods and mor- chainlisce must be sacrificed for it, provided that by such an occasion the Maquaes country could be acquired for and conveyed as property to the l'ompany, whereby the English and other neighbors could be prevented and estopped from the great beaver trade, which our people carry un there with the sinnekus savages. If the disatisfaction and the proba- bility of aggressive movements between the English and the savage con- tinue, which we do not believe, anyway not hope, your Honor must carry out and these lines tay serve ma rules.

" He says, he has come to bring an answer to the propositions made by his Honor, the General, namely, whether the savages would sell us the hook of land behind the Kil van Kol ete., to which he answers, that most of the young men of the tribe are out hnoting, so that he has not been able to speak with them, but he has talked with the old warriors, who say, that they would not like to sell, preferring to keep a portion of it to plant, for they dare not go further inland for fear of being robbed by their enemies. lle says further, that there is land enough both for us and! for theta diviled by the Kil aad that it is as good as the land on the E -. pus.

I In this contribution to the genealogy of the first settlers of News ark, attentive readers, if ileerended from them, may jnewibly find some of their ancestors, if not ignorant of their names. It is the result of in- vestigation« among ancient documents and records, and in old cemeteries within the bounds of the original purchase, and in the regions beyond; where, among the piotrem, were wots and daughters of that remarkably plain, simple, aber, praying, orderly and religious people. Imperfect, and sometimes probuddy Incorrect, it remains for those who are not aslumued of such an ancestry to correct and perfect it, and to protect their graves.
