After the surrender, the old court continued its session in the Dutch style, administering the old laws for a long time after -the change in the government. On the 14th October..., 1664, the magistrates and some of the principal inhabitants met at the City Hall, on notice from Gov. Nichols, who appeared with his Secre- tary. There were the Burgomasters and Schepens, and Allard Anthony, Joannes de Peister, Jacob Kip, Jacques Cossean, Isaack de Foreest, Jeronimus Ebbinck, and other leading citizens.
