22 April 1767

Konin

The report of the court messenger Bartłomiej Szepczyński of the village of Trąbczyn, entered in the records of the castle court at Konin on 22 April 1767. At the request of Antoni Prusimski of Kolno, heir of Trąbczyn, he went onto the estate on Holy Saturday with two noblemen, Stanisław Lipiński and Józef Rudkowski, and inspected an embankment lately raised at the end of the pond-ground. Because of the embankment the water that flows from the pond-ground through the Trąbczyn lands backed up and flooded the Olęder settlers living in the Trąbczyn woods, with their manured fields and their meadows. He states that this was done by people of the neighbouring estate of Łukom on the order of its heir.
