These Corporations influenced and controlled the af- fairs of the Province of New Netherland and the municipal regulations and government of the village and city of New Amsterdam. In the year A. D. 1914, New York City's three hun- dredth (1614-1914) anniversary celebration, the ancient Dutch Commonwealth and city with its rulers and laws were to the residents of New York of peculiar and historical interest. In the thoughts of many, even now, will be the Knickerbocker quotation: — "Is the sweet wild flower yet to come — or has it come and withered — which is to adorn the beloved Island of Manna-hata?"

Privileges and special licences were granted by the States- General from October 1614 to 1621, to the United New Netherland Company and a charter was granted to the West India Company on the third of June, 1621. The Privileges and Patents were granted to facilitate the colonization of the Western Continent by citizens of the United Netherlands. The proposed Patent of 1614 of the States-General to Witsen, Lybergen, Volkertsen, etc., in reference to land in America to be called "Nyeuw Nederlant," the Charter or Letter Patent of June 3, 1621 and the edict or charter of Jan. 23, 1664 by the States-General explaining and confirming the charter of 1621, and the second patent or charter of 1674, the charter to the Patroons of June 7, 1629 and of "Freedoms and Privileges" to English settlers living under the govern- ment of New Netherland and the West India Company of June 6, 1641, Provisional Order of 1650, Petition and Re- monstrance of 1653, Agreements with the City of Amster- dam approved by the States-General, Concessions, Addition- al privileges, Licenses, Resolutions, Recommendations, Con- ditions or Regulations, Dutch ships charters.

These Records contain additionally the First Conditions to Colonists of New Netherland of 1656, the Second of 1659, and the articles and ordinances of the City of Amsterdam in its dealings with the "Assembly of XIX" or with the Board of the Amsterdam Chamber of the West India Company. The Dutch West India Company, De Westlische Westin- dische Compagnie, is described in O'Callaghan's History of New Netherland, Netscher, Les Hollandais. 8° Hague, 1853, Southey's History of Brasil. 12° London, 1810, Fiske's Dutch and Quaker Colonies, vol. 1, pp. 96-126 and (1910) in Wilson's New York, Old and New, vol. 1, pp. 15-25. The offices of the Dutch West India Company from 1623 to 1654 were in a leased building still standing in Amster- dam at No. 75 Haarlemmer Straat. In this building was an- nounced in November, 1626, to the "Assembly of the XIX" the purchase from the Indians of the Island of Manhattan. The Acts and Proceedings of the Amsterdam Chamber, by order of the States-General, were sold at auction in 1821 for waste paper. The rubbish of one generation often becomes the miser's treasure of the next. The general supervision and government of the Com- pany were lodged in a board or Assembly of Nineteen (XIX) Delegates — ^the majority being from the Chamber of Am- sterdam. The five different Chambers represented the share- holders in the different towns and districts. The Director-General and Council of the Colony were invested with all powers, judicial, legislative and executive, subject to appeal to Holland; but the will of the Company, expressed in their instructions, or declared in their marine or miUtary ordinances — ^was to be "the law in New Nether- land, excepting in cases not especially provided for — ^when the Roman law, the Imperial statutes of Charles V., and the edicts, resolutions and customs of Fatherland were to be prescribed as the paramount rule of action." After the Company had been reorganized in 1674, the Council of XIX dwindled down to the number of ten, and were called "The Ten." They gradually absorbed the whole management of the Company. In 1791 the charter of the West India Company came to an end. It was not renewed, and the Company's possessions were taken over by the States- General. Asher.

The active history of the Province of New Netherland began in May 1626, on the arrival of Director-General Minuit. The Province from that time was governed by its Director or Governor-General and Council and its seat of government was the Governor's mansion within the newly erected Fort Amsterdam. The Chamber of Amsterdam exercised an absolute veto on the legislation of New Netherland and it originated and transmitted hither laws prepared and printed in Amsterdam, and in other cases altered and amended the ordinances en- acted by the Governor-General and Council of New Nether- land after they had been submitted for approval to the Am- sterdam Chamber and were then returned so approved or amended to be put in force here. 10 The Directors of the West India Company granted in 1653, to the village or town of "de Manhattan" in accord- ance with 17th clause of the Provisional order of 1650 a municipal form of government to consist of Schout, two Burgomasters and five Scheppen, to be elected by the newly created city of New Amsterdam "in the manner usual in this city of Amsterdam" and to act as a court of justice, etc. The Municipal law of the City of Amsterdam was to be transferred to this country and the courts were organized as much as possible as the circumstances of the country would permit "according to the laudable customs of the City of Amsterdam in Holland." The laws, acts, ordinances, edicts, charters, patents, ad- ditional privileges, resolutions, the Articles of Agreement and "Freedom and Privileges" granted to English settlers in Long Island (1641) and in the Achter colonic (1673) are to be found in O'Callaghan's Laws and Ordinances of New Netherland (1638-1664) 8° New York 1868. Among the charters granted were the ones to Flushing and to Gravesend. Both were granted in the year 1645. An engraving representing Stuyvesant and Council fram- ing the first charter of the City of New Amsterdam was once common in the city shops. The print now is rare. The Feudal system and law.

"To encourage agriculture and to create permanent homes, the West India Company in 1629 issued its famous charter of 'Privileges and Exemptions'. This charter de- clared that any member of the Company who should, with- in the next four years, bring to New Netherland fifty (50) 18 grown-up persons and settle them in homes along the Hud- son River should receive a liberal grant of land to hold as patroon' or 'Lord of the manor.' " Patroons were invested by the Roman law, as well as by the New Netherland chart- ers of 1629 and 1640 with the power to administer civil and criminal justice, to appoint civil oflScers and magistrates and to erect courts. The laws in force were the civil code, the en- actments of the States-General, the ordinances of the West India Company at Amsterdam, and of the Director-General and Council when properly published within the Province or Colony, and such rules and regulations as the Patroon and his Co-Directors, or the local authorities might establish and enact. The Civil code vested in the patroons, as feudal seigniors, several privileges common to the feudal system and the man- ors of New Netherland were held by a class of fiefs, or com- mon feudal tenures without any titles of nobility being at- tached to them. The judgments of the Patroons for civil injuries or crimes were subject to the review of the Province's Director-General and Council. In Europe the Manors were the great reservoirs of local customs, and in England the Court Baron, as Coke says, was the chief prop of the Baron. The manorial system soon fell into disrepute in New Netherland with the colony-promoters as it tended to disbar the less wealthy class of individual colonists. In New York in 1775 the Patroonship privileges were de- prived of some of their distinctive features, and thereafter the Patroons or Lords of the Manor became mere proprietors of estates. In December, 1653, the most important Convention, one of Remonstrances and Petition, that had yet been held in New Netherland assembled in New Amsterdam. Four Dutch and four English towns were represented. In 1673 the 19 Schouts and the Magistrates assembled in the Colonic of Aehter and enacted the "Elizabethtown Code." At the request of the Burgomasters and Schcpens in February, 1657, the Burgher right laws "agreeably to the laudable customs of Amsterdam in Europe" were introduced to the City of New Amsterdam. Some time afterwards was inaugurated, by virtue of the Burgher laws, the class dis- tinction of "The Great Citizens" and "The Small Citizens." "Burgher right and roll of Burghers of New Amsterdam" and "Burghers of New Amsterdam and the Freemen of New York (1675-1866)" were published in 1885 in 2 vols. 8o by the New York Historical Society. There were bowling games on Bowling Green, but no base-ball to beguile the Dutchman's cares. A petition was presented in February, 1658, to the Director-General and Council of New Netherland "for leave to Pull the Goose." This permission, on behalf of sport, was refused by the au- gust body since when, as has been noticed by country visi- tors, it has not been permitted to pull or pluck geese on Manhattan Island. The Canon law was recognized according to the doc- trine promulgated by the Synod of Dordrect. On July 4, 1654, Stuyvesant, the last of the Dutch Directors, confirmed the grant of the Annetje Jans' farm. Dirck van Schelluyn was the first lawyer to make his ap- pearance in the Dutch village. He came from Amsterdam and reported his law business to friends at home as not lucra- tive. He was no Barrister, "Playing the Fifth Avenue game on $75,000 a year." In 1643 was granted the first ground or lot on Broadway to Capt. Martin Crigier. It was on Marktvelt Straat (Mar- ketfield street) on the west side and opposite to Bowling Green, and on its site is the present Bowling Green building. Its dimensions were : Bowling Green side 4 rods, 5 ft. ; south side 14 rods; west side, 6 rods, 9 ft.; and north side 9 rods. 20 Bowling Green, at first called The Plaine or Village Green, lay to the north opposite to the Sallyport of Fort Amster- dam. Broadway from Bowling Green Park to Wall Street was named successively Hoogh Weg (Highway), Heeren Straat (The Gentlemen's Street) Breede Weg (Broadway), Broad Way and Broadway. In May, 1626, on the site of the present Bowling Green, Manhattan Island of 22,000 acres was purchased of the Is- land tribe of Indians for beads, trinkets, etc., of the value of 60 guilders, or twenty-four (24) dollars. The official an- nouncement of the purchase of the "Island Manhattes" was made to the Amsterdam Chamber in their rooms at No. 75 Haarlemmer Straat, and by letter of the date of November 5, 1626, to the States-General in session at The Hague. The old Fort Amsterdam lay to the south of Bowling Green between the present Whitehall, Bridge and State streets. The Stadt Huys, City Hall or State House, also called the Stadt Herberg or City tavern, was erected at the expense of the West India Company in 1642 on the present site of Numbers 71-73 Pearl Street. The name of the City of Nieuw Amsterdam was changed in 1664 to New York and of the Province of Nieuw Neder- landt to the Colony of New York. Previous to the incor- poration in 1653 of the village of the Manhattoes under the name of Nieuw Amsterdam, its usual Dutch name was "De Manhattan." The Dongan Patent was issued March 7, 1686. The Dongan Charter to the City of New York was dated April 17, 1686. The treaties of Hartford, Westminster and Breda were concluded in 1650, 1654 and 1667. The EngUsh Navigation act was passed in October, 1651. This act and the Treaty of Breda lost New York to Holland. 21 The Dutch and EngUsh courts in the Dutch' Province and in the English Colony and Province (after 1691) until 1700, were the Patroon Court of Rensselaerwyck, Preroga- tive or Surrogate Court, Town courts, Out-District Court, Court of Arbitrators, Court of Schout, Burgomasters and Schepens, and Court of Assizes; Court of Chancery, Su- preme Court, Court of Oyer and Terminer, Court of Com- mon Pleas, Mayor's Court, Orphans Court, District Courts, and Court of Session or Justice of the Peace. Before the Court of Assizes the "abominable crime," the first Dutch witchcraft case was tried in October, 1665. In March 1664, Charles II granted the Colony of New York to his brother, the Duke of York, and indicated in the Letters Patent that the law of England was to be the basis of the Colonial law. A new Charter was granted in 1674. Governor NicoUs prepared during the winter of 1664 his digest of laws, arranged in alphabetical order, which has been generally known as the "Duke of York's Laws." When the Nicolls Code was ready the Governor summoned a depu- tation from all the towns on Long Island to meet on the last day of February in the town of Easthampton to listen to the new plan of government, but in reality to hear the new laws of an autocrat. The "East Hampton Book of Laws" received amend- ments at various times and it was re-promulgated in 1674. It has been printed in the collections of the New York His- torical Society, Vol. 1 New York, 1811' and at Harrisburg in 1879 in one volume. It was again reprinted in volume one of "New York Colonial Laws," Albany, 1894. A copy with the Duke of York's name affixed is in the office of the Secretary of State at Albany. Hedges.

Among Governor Dongan's instructions from the Duke of York was an order calling for "the election of a General Assembly of all the Freeholders by the persons whom they shall choose to represent them" in order to consult with the Governor and Council. The first session of this Assembly was held at Fort James in the city of New York on October 17th, 1683. Fifteen (15) acts were passed, the most important of which was "The Charter of Liberties and Privileges" granted by his Royal Highness to the inhabitants of New York and its dependen- cies. At a meeting of the Committee of Trade and Planta- tions held in the Council Chamber at Whitehall on March 3d, 1684, the aforementioned Charter was not confirmed. The second meeting of the First Assembly began on the 20th day of October, 1684. At this session thirty-one (31) laws were passed by the Assembly and sanctioned by the Governor. The act or bill of October 23, 1684, concerning marriage was much discussed in the House of Lords in 1885 in the Lauderdale Peerage Claim case. The first meeting of the Second Dongan Assembly was held in New York on October 20, 1685 to November, 1685, and passed six (6) laws. The next regular meeting of the General Assembly was held in the reign of William and Mary and began its sittings in the City of New York on the ninth (9th) day of April, 1691. The legislation of the Provincial Assembly of Leisler of April and September, 1690, and of his first Colonial Con- gress in New York of May, 1690, was not recognized as of authority and would be only of curiosity or historical in- terest even if it were extant. The titles of all the acts of the Dongan Assemblies fifty- two (52) are printed in the Introduction to the "Journals of the New York Council." 23 The Codes and Laws of New Netherland and New York may be seen in manuscript in the library of the Historical Society of Philadelphia. In 1894, the Commissioners of Statutory Revision from manuscripts in the Secretary of State's office at Albany, or from the manuscript "Dongan laws" in the State library printed the Duke's laws and the laws of 1783-5 in a collection entitled "The Colonial Laws of New York from the year 1664 to the Revolution." 5 vols. So Albany 1894, The journals of the lower House of Assembly 1683-4 were lost or destroyed. The Archives acts and ordinances of West India Company, including the early New Nether- land laws were sold, as before stated, in 1821 for waste paper. This statement of Judge Furman was made in 1840: "That the Laws of 1683, 1684, 1685 are generally as well worthy of attention as any which have been passed since; but never having been printed the pubhc know little about them." It has been claimed by many lawyers, by reason of the Revolution of 1688, or the resolution of the Lower House of Assembly of 1691, though not concurred in by the Upper House, that certain laws and ordinances "being contrary to the Constitution of England and the Practice of the Govern- ment of their Majesties other Plantations in America are null, void and of none effect nor force within this Province," or at any rate by their falling into desuetude or prescriptive repeal, the Dongan laws including the Duke's Code became inoperative after the passage in the Lower House of the Resolution of 1691. It is asserted by others that the Resolution of 1691 was wholly inoperative to repeal the Duke's laws or the acts of 1683-5 of the General Assembly which received the royal assent and that the Legislative Assemblies 1683-5 met by special warrant and by private instructions from the Duke 24 of York to Governor Dongan and that the assent of Dongan to the acts passed are now preserved in rolls in the official files at Albany. And to the contrary it is also claimed by the first men- tioned lawyers that the Duke of York's laws of 1683 and the Dongan legislation of 1683-5 are not printed or recognized as existing laws in the compilation or collection of laws of 1694, or in any compiled, or collected Revised laws since 1691; and that the most thorough search failed to reveal a single case for a prosecution arising under the Duke's laws that was not brought and decided prior to 1691 when the declaration as to the Nicoll code and the Dongan laws was made. Perhaps in a case like this of doubt and contention among eminent lawyers, and which the courts to date have never decided, it is as Lord Hardwicke said of a very high authority in Scottish law: "Dirleton's Doubts are better than other men's certainties," though Macaulay wanted above all things to put "certainties" into his Indian Criminal Code. Surrogate Fowler says in one of his early essays, "In a perusal of the law reports of New York, one is struck by the important place, even now, accorded to the ancient law of New Netherland, and this importance seems not to decrease with the lapse of time, but to increase with the augmenting value of real property." The first printed book within the limits of the Province of New York was the work of an early American printer, William Bradford, who died in 1752 (Aetas, 89) and was buried in Trinity churchyard. It is entitled "The Laws & Acts of the General Assembly for their Majesties Province of New York" 1691-93. Folio. New York 1694. Title page and Table of Contents (2 leaves), eighty -four (84) small folio pages (Sig A-X) with Catalogue of Fees (pp. 1-11) and three separately issued acts (13 pp.) printed in 1693. 25 Its auction price in 1915 is $2,000. Only two perfect copies are now known to exist — ^the Lenox Library and the Vanderpoel-Thacher copies. The latter was the first printed copy and in it pages 58 and 59 are erroneously printed pages 57 and 58. In the Lenox copy this error was corrected by Bradford. The New York Historical Society on April 8, 1893, cele- brated the 200th Anniversary of the introduction of printing in New York, and the publication committee of the Grolier club issued on January 1, 1894, a facsimile of "The Laws and Acts" of 1694, together with an historical introduction and notes on the laws by Robert Ludlow Fowler. The Charter, Laws and Ordinances of the City of New York were printed in New York in 1694. No copy of this first edition is now known to exist. The names of the Great Citizens (20) and the Small Citi- zens (204) of New Amsterdam in 1657, and also a Directory of the residents by streets of the City of New York in 1665 and a list of Church Members and their Residences in 1686 are printed in volume 1 of the Memorial History of New York (1892.) The elite families of the good old Dutch Knick- erbocker days were the Bayards, Beekmans, Bogarduses, De Forests, DeKays, DePuysters, DeWitts, Hegemans, Hofmans, Kiefts, Kierstedes, Kips, Rutgers, Schuylers, Stuyvesants, Vfin Zandts, and Verplancks. The first Directory of the City of New York by David Franks was printed by Shepard KoUock MDCCLXXXVI (1786). This edition makes mention of 926 names, and the population at that time numbered 23,614. Sabin in his "Bibliotheca Americana" gives the title of the first issue which he says is extremely scarce. Its auction sale value is about $500. There are several reprints. No Directory was issued for 1788. The 1789 Directory when found in a per- fect condition and especially when accompanied by the plan of the city is as rare as the issue of 1786. 26 Taylor issued a few years ago a "Map of the original Grants of Village lots from the Dutch West India Company to the inhabitants of New Amsterdam lying below the pres- ent line of Wall Street. The Grants commencing A. D. 1642." The names of the grantees and dates of the grants are mentioned in the map. The first Law Journal printed in New York City was Bacon's New York Judicial Repository, Six (6) numbers in all were printed in 1818-19. A serial Criminal law Reports, Roger's City Hall Recorder, was issued as early as 1816. The first newspaper published in the city was "The New- York Gazette," It was established by William Bradford in 1725, twenty-one years subsequent to the establishment at Boston (1704) of the first newspaper published in the Ameri- can colonies and called "The Boston News-Letter." The New York newspaper's first issue was of the date of October, 16, 1725. It was printed as a dwarf folio on dirty, greyed paper with large and almost worn out type. Printed every Monday as a weekly, at first a single leaf and increased to two, four or six pages as its contents war- ranted, it was supposed to contain all the news worth print- ing, and it was the only newspaper in the town until Zen- ger's "The Weekly Journal" was started in 1733. A volume of numbers of Bradford's paper is preserved in the Society library. Two copies of a facsimile number of March 28, 1726, are in the Public library and a facsimile print of No. 48 of October 3rd, 1726, may be seen in Volume 1 of the Memorial History of New York on page 598. A Hst of New York City newspapers from 1726 to 1800 is print- ed in Volume 5 of the Bulletin of New York Public library, pp. 27-30.
