Oh my goodness Geert, that sounds pretty serious.

I've tried 'google translate' for 'taper-ringe' but I haven't been able to understand the result. Can anyone explain briefly what the problem is? (leading children to debouchery?) 

And so 7 and 8 years later, after Philip and Heyltge were first being banished from Delft they were petitioning to return- without success I assume?

What a story!

Thanks ever so much Geert for your work on this.

very best wishes

Geert beat me by a few minutes :)

This is a remarkable document. The main text states that the aldermen of Delft had decided on 28 March 1663 to banish Philps van de Bilt and his wife Heyltge van Straten from Delft and the jurisdiction of Delft for life 'because of severe reasons'. It also states that the couple had to leave Delft within the next 3 days. In case they would return to the city or the jurisdiction of Delft, they would be punished 'more severely'.

The text in the left margin specifies the 'severe' reasons: there had been many complaints against the pub run by this couple and also about their housekeeping. They had led 'the children of many good folk into debauchery';  in addition, their bad housekeeping had caused a large fire, damaging both their own home as well as those of their neighbours and causing a great financial loss to the owner of their home (which they apparently rented).

The two paragraphs at the bottom are the result of requests made by the couple to return to Delft in 1670 and 1671 respectively. In both cases, their requests were denied.

Dear Anne, the tapneringe is a tappery, alehouse, literally a "tapping business". There were many complaints about it, especially because children were enticed to debauched behavior. and on top of this all a great fire damaged the houses of neighbours. In 1670 they apparently were again admitted into Delft after severely warning them not to behave thus badly again. In 1671 they applied again to the city, but in vain.

@René, I follow your explanations for 1670 and 1671, the 1670 sentence is particularly difficult to interpret...

Dear Geert, Rene and Otto

Thank you all for your contributions to this most intruiging document.

I think I read that Philips van Blit was an 'innkeeper' so that fits. It would be interesting to know where his inn was in Delft where all these problems occurred.

Helyltge was the cousin of Jannetgne van Straten who ran (properly I hope!) the Moorshead pottery factory in Delft from 1671. 

Have a lovely weekend all.
