Iii. 219. I, Cornelius Huyghens, Attorney General in New Nether- lands, to Mr. Nicolas Koorn in behalf of Mr. Van Rensselaer in his colony. Whereas I am informed with certainty, that it is your inten- tion, and that you are qualified by your patroon, to establish yourself on Bears' Island, situated three miles* below Fort Or- ange with a body of men, to build there a fort, for which you have provided guns to defend it ; — and whereas this is incon- sistent with the privileges granted to patroon...s and lords of ma- nors, since a colony may not be further extended than four miles along the coast, or two miles on both sides of the river, as is evident from Article 5th of the grant ; and whereas said Bears' Island is more than two miles from the limits of the said colony — besides the bold attempt to construct there a fort which might command the river, and debar Fort Orange from the free navigation — all which would be ruinous to the interests of the Company: Therefore I desire to know what authority you have, and by whom you have been invested with it.
