That the aforesaid Baron Van der Capellen ter Budelhoff surrenders to the other gentlemen who appeared before us, in behalf of the aforesaid Company, such a portion as the aforesaid Baron Van der Capellen pretended to be his property, in Staten Island, situated in New Netherland, with the Patronage, the Mansion, Out-houses, Tools of husbandry, Stock, with other Appendencies and Dependencies, as it was possessed by Baron Van der Capellen tot Ryssel, of which, now the Baron Van der Capellen ter Budelhoff shall deliver to the other contractants, appearing before me, all proofs, letters, documents and informations, which may be yet among the papers of the deceased, or in his own possession ; and made, besides this, a transfer of the whole to the aforesaid Company, as it ought to be when the full property is understood to have been transferred to another with its actual possession. Wherefore, the aforesaid Baron Van der Capellen ter Budelhoff shall remain holden, in his aforesaid quality as executor, and in his individual capacity, to defend, in their behalf, this part of Staten Island, against any claims what- ever, and indemnify the aforesaid Company against any pretensions upon this property, under what color and by whom these might be instituted, particularly that of Cornelis Melyn.

Order for the West India Company, concerning the division of Boundaries in New Netherland, dated the 23d January, 1664.
[ Groot Placaet Book, II. ]
The STATES GENERAL of the United Netherlands, To all who shall hear or see these, Health :- BE IT KNOWN, Whereas, for divers and weighty reasons, We thought proper, in the year 1621, to erect and establish in our country a Company called the West India Company, through the same alone and to the exclusion of all others, to resort and trade to the coasts and countries of Africa, from the Tropic of Cancer to the Cape of Good Hope, and the countries of America, or the West Indies, beginning from the south end of Terra Nova through the Straits of Magellan and Le Maire, or other passages and Straits situate thereabout, unto the Strait of Anyan, as well on the North as the South Sea, and all Islands lying on the one and the other side and betwixt both, and extending to the Australian or Southern countries, and lying between both Meridians, including in the east the Cape of Good Hope, and in the west the east end of New Guinea. Granting by the second article of the Charter of the 3d June, 1621, given to them under our great seal, further and more particularly, that they in our name and by our authority may within the aforesaid limits, make and conclude contracts, treaties and alliances with the Princes and Natives of the countries contained therein, erect fortresses and strongholds there, appoint, remove and dismiss Governors, soldiers and officers of Justice necessary for all other requisite services, for the conservation of the places, the maintenance of good order, Police, and Justice, together with the promotion of trade, and others in their places to appoint, according as the same shall be found proper, and especially as it may best promote the peopling of fruitful and uninhabited countries ; and the aforesaid Company having, from the beginning, by virtue of the aforesaid Charter, in conformity with our sincere intention, established their population and colonists on the coast of America, in the country called NEW NETHERLAND, notwithstanding which some persons evil disposed towards our State and the said Company, endeavor to misrepresent our good and honest meaning contained in the said Charter, as if We had privileged the said Company only to trade within the said limits, and not to colonize or to plant settlements, or take possession of lands, calling the Company's right thereto into question.
Wherefore We, desirous to assure all, each, and every one whom it may concern, of Our intention in the aforesaid Octroy, hereby Declare Our meaning well and truly to have been and still to be, that the aforesaid Company was and is still empowered to establish Colonies and Settlements on lands unoccupied by others, within the limits aforesaid, and particularly that the same (for the preservation of the right which devolved on them in virtue of the aforesaid Charter, by discovery and occupation of the Fresh River, and other places in New Netherland, situated more easterly even unto Cape Cod, and from Cape Hinlopen and fifteen miles farther south, along the coast,) could by virtue of the aforesaid granted Charter provisionally, and until further agreement on settled boundaries between the King of Great Britain and Us, adjust their limits conformably to the provisional division of boundaries concluded in America between both governments in the year 1650, and ratified by Us on the 22d Feb. 1656, which shall be as follows, to wit :- On the main land from the west side of Greenwich Bay, being about four miles from Stamford, and also to run inland in a northerly direction twenty miles, provided that
580
APPENDIX.
it approach not within ten miles of the North River. And further on Long Island, from the west side of Oyster Bay in a straight line south unto the sea, remaining by provision and in conformity as before, the east part of the aforesaid Island to the English, and the west to the said West India Company and the Inhabitants of this country.
Wherefore, We request all Emperors, Kings, Republics, Princes and Potentates, Friends and Allies of this State, or Neutrals, to allow the aforesaid West India Company to enjoy and possess the aforesaid limits in peace and quietness, which We shall freely reciprocate towards them on suitable occasions. We further expressly and strictly charge and command all, each, and every person in our service, and under our obedience, and especially the Inhabitants within the aforesaid limits, punctually and precisely to regulate themselves according to the tenor of this Our Acte, without opposition, or acting or allowing others to act contrary thereto, on pain of incurring Our highest indignation and displeasure, and being consequently punished as contraveners of Our commands, according as the exigency of affairs shall demand. Given at the Hague, under Our great seal, the paraphure and signature of Our Clerk, on the 23d January, 1664.
Letter of the States General to the Villages situated in New Netherland, such as Oost-dorp, Gravesande, Heemstede, Vlissingen, Middleburgh, Rustdorp, Amersfoort, Middlewout, New Utrecht, Breukelen, and Boswyck.
[Albany Records, VIII. ; Holland Documents, X.]
The STATES GENERAL, &c. Honorable, wise, discreet friends :- It having for some time come to Our ears, through the complaints of the West India Company, that the English in America have sought from time to time, notwithstanding the provisional division of boundaries concluded at Hartford in 1650, to settle within the District provisionally assigned to the above-mentioned Company by the aforesaid division, and consequently in the places and villages situated within the same, having first given notice that they should withdraw themselves from Our allegiance and repair under the English govern- ment ; secondly, have deposed the magistrates appointed there in Our name by the Director-general and Council, released them from their sworn oath, and established others again in their stead, the magistrates appointed by the aforesaid Director and Council, regardless of that respect and obedience due to Us as their superiors, offering no opposition thereto ; nay, on the contrary, as the English aver, they solicited these appointments. Therefore, We, desirous to provide against these and such like disorders, have resolved hereby well and strictly to charge your Honors, that in case you, forgetful of your plight, should have repaired under the government of the English, to return again under Our allegiance, so soon as your Honors have received these presents; or if you be further importuned by the English to come under them, to demean yourselves as those subjects do who still remain in Our allegiance, until We shall have agreed with the King of Great Britain on the boundaries, on pain, for contravening these, of experiencing Our severest indignation and displeasure, and being punished according as the exigency of the matter may demand, which your Honors will take into proper consideration. Wherewith ending, &c. At the Hague, the 23d January, 1664.
