[December 29th 1671] … Late at night we were informed that two wanton soldiers, named Christoffel Zweck of Bremen, and Frederick Symonsen, in a half drunken state, had outside been fighting with knives, with the result that the latter had had his throat nearly severed by the former, but not alone that! A third person, the husbandman before whose door the fight occurred, had, in his kindness, endeavoured to intervene and separate the parties, but had been shot by the same Zweck with a musket charge of shot in his chest, so that his recovery is doubtful. The perpetrator was at once searched for, and when found, incarcerated. The patients were properly attended to by the surgeon.
    pp.42-43 [January 18th 1672] The Surgeon reported that the burgher, Claes Vegtsman of Tyrol, who had arrived here in the Batavia, in 1667, and on the 29th of last month, been wounded with shot in the chest by a wanton soldier, had departed this life. From a post mortem examination held in presence of commissioners, it however appeared that he had died from a complication of diseases, and not from the wound..
