1654/55- Gun powder damage Delft

Claes Jansz Clinck                                    100.0.0
Verponding 1654, is bij denselven betaelt    8.5.0
Daeromme geroyeert
Gegeven biliet tot 40 percento, t'welck den
20 Mei per reste ƒ 40.- is betaelt  ƒ 40.-

The estimated value of the damage is ƒ 100.-.-
Claes’s indemnification is 40% (the usual percentage)
the 20th of May Claes received  ƒ 40.- (the words ‘per reste’ are not there)
Claes recieved the whole amount because he had paid the ‘verponding’ (ground tax) of  ƒ 8.5.0

Geert, thanks for the transcription, and to Gerry for explaining what all the figures meant. I thought it read that Claus got 40 guilders but didn't understand how that figure was reached.

I think his brother Jan also got compensation so with this explanation I can probably work out what he received also.

very best wishes

Anne
