  5. [S872] Notes concerning Various, written by Mansell Upham, 2012-2016 (http://www.facebook.com/FirstFiftyYearsProject/) "Burgher Evert Pieterszen of Purmerend now a prisoner voluntarily confessed that (24 November 1705), he was in the reed veld to look after the reeds cut by him. When he returned in the evening he arrived in neighbourhood of the Wynberg at the river running there, where he saw 17 sheep without knowing whose they were, he drove them all to his hut and at once killed and salted down 5. The 6th was tied up likewise for slaughter when the herder of Adv. Willem ten Damme [from Oldenzeel] to whom they belonged arrived, thereupon the prisoner drove away the 11 others as he could not hide them. In order to hide his crime he shoved 3 skillings into the hands of the herder that the latter might not inform against him, but he did so however and told his master, prisoner was then apprehended.

    Court sentences him to be brought to the place of execution and stand under the gallows with the rope round his neck, afterwards to be severely whipped on the bare back, and branded and for life exiled to Mauritius to find an honest living there. In the meantime he shall serve as convict in chains on Robben Island."
