Administrator of the goods and chattels rights debts and credits of Sr. William Courten knight deceased unadministred with his will annexed Plaintiff And Jacob Pergens Bewinthebber of the West-India Company at their Chamber in Amsterdam defendant As it was delivered in Low-dutch to the Scheepens and Iudges in Amsterdam in the month of October 1676. 1. SR Iacob Cats late Pensionaris of Holland Iohn Corcelis and others became bound by their writing obligatory at London dated 29 Iuly 1631 unto Sr. William Courten in the Penalty of 3000 pounds for payment of 2080 pounds to the said Sr. William his Executors or administrators according to the Laws and Custom of England 2. In the year 1636 the said money continuing at interest Sr. William Courten died indebted to many persons and left William Courten his Son and Heir his sole Executor 3. In the moneth of September 1643. the said William Courten became insolvent for his own debts and absented himself from his Creditors 4. On the 31 of Octob. 1653. William Courten at London assigns the said Obligation of 3000 pounds to Iacob Pergens upon pretence of an old debt due to the said Pergens from Sr. William Courten and gives him procuration to sue for the said money accordingly 5. In the year 1645 Iacob Pergens summoned Sr. Iacob Cats before the Provinciall Court of Holland and instituted his Process for the said debt and dammages 6. In the year 1647 Iacob Pergens during the Civill warrs in England procured Letters from the late King to the States Generall and the Prince of Orange in favour of himself against Sr Iacob Cats and the East-India Company 7. In the year 1653. Iacob Pergens gave 400 pounds to the Comissioners concerning Banckrupts to release their right to the money due from Sr. Iacob Cats and to assign their pretence unto Pergens salvo jure of other men 8. In the year 1655. depending the said process against Sr. Iacob Cats William Courten the Executor died in Florence intestate 9. In the year 1660. Letters of Administration of Sr. William Courtens Goods debts and effects unadministred by Will. Courten Esquire with the Testament annexed were granted by the Prerogative Court of England to the said George Carew 10. In the year 1661. the Provincial Court of Holland pronounced a Sentence in favour of Iacob Pergens against the Heyrs of Sr. Iacob Cats who appealed to the Supream Court of Iustice at the Hague from the same 11. In the moneth of May 1662. George Carew Exhibited his Request unto the High Court and intervened in the said Cause praying that his right might be preserved according to Law and in consequence thereof that the Heirs of Sr. Iacob Cats might be ordered to pay the money to him in right of his Administration and that Iacob Pergens should be likewise enjoyned to deliver up the bond as an unadministred Effect of Sr. William Courtens Estate 12. Whereupon Iacob Pergens refused to answer unto the principall demand but made his Exception in writing that he was a Burger of Amsterdam and ought to be impleaded before his Competent judges there notwithstanding he dwelt then in the Hague 13. After severall pleadings repliques duplicques and advertisments of right with severall advices upon the case transmited from the Judges of England to the said High Court of Iudicature the Lords nevertheless admitted the exception of Iacob Pergens and renvoyed Carew before the Scheepens of Amsterdam with Compensation of Costs 14. On the 6 of November 1663 George Carew cited Iacob Pergens before the Lords of Amsterdam and exhibited his request as aforesaid for the recovery of his right desiring a precise day as a stranger Yet the Scheepens ordered the process to be written by demand answer replicque and duplicque as by the acts of the Court inventaried appears 15. However on the 34 of October 1664 the High Court at the Hague proceeded to a Sentence in favour of Mr. Pergens against the Heirs of Sr. Iacob Cats Whereby the Lords ordered them to pay the money with interest and Charges to the said Pergens which amounred unto 4200 pounds Sterling And directed Pergens to assign the said bond with power to sue the other obligers Although the Iudges of England had intimated Mr. Carews right to the said high Court and subscribed the same before Major Wright and Iohn Daniel two Publique Notaries in London 16. In the years 1669 and 1670 Mr. Iames Boeve sollicited the said Process and caused the writings and papers on both sides to be inventaried and exchanged by the Procters Francis Meerhout and Arnold Vingbooms then by a contrivance between Pergens and the sons of Peter Boudaen Iames Boeve was arrested at the Hague upon a vexatious action out of the Admiralty of Zealand which they bought purposely to trouble Mr. Boeve whereupon he was detained a Prisoner and so obstructed the prosecution in this Cause some time longer 17 In the year 1672 Mr. Carew arrived at Amsterdam and desired his Advocate Mr. Paulus Buys to draw an Advertisment of right to be delivered over with the pieces and papers to the Lords which was retarded yet longer by reason of the warr with England and Mr. Carews detention in prison at the Hague upon pretence of being an Enemie to the countrey for demanding common justice 18 In the moneth of May 1676 Mr. Carew arrived again at Amsterdam and applied himself to Advocate Buys to make an advertisment of right that the Sentence might be pronounced thereupon who refused to serve any longer in the Cause pretending that he had married a kinswoman of Mr. Pergens yet demanded his Salarie of 116 Gilders for perusing the papers drawn by Advocate Caw and others yet no disparagement to Mr. Buys his abilities although he never pleaded in the Cause 19. In the moneth of August last Mr. Paulus Buys and Arnold Vingboom summoned Mr. Carew before the Magistrates at Amsterdam for their respective Salaries and arrested his Goods for the same whereupon the Lords condemned Carew to pay their demands accordingly Mr. Buys having interdicted all Others to serve in the Cause before he was paid 20. Then Pergens and Boudaens having published a scandalous Book against the Procedings of Carew and Boeve it was answered by another Book many whereof they caused to be taken away by Inglebreght the under-Scout of Amsterdam from Stephen Swart A Bookseller near the Exchang by order of the president Scheepen as Inglebreght pretended 21. In the moneth of September last Mr. Carew having then gotten his papers and writings from Mr. Buys and Vingboom paid them both their Salaries and proceeded to the advertisment of rights following upon which he craves the Iudgement of the Honoerable Lords the Scheepens Advertisment of Right 1.
