Document 2 · Delivery of possession

28 November 1782

Trąbczyn

An act of 28 November 1782, done in the Olęder settlement of Trąbczyn at the house of Martin Hunt, in the presence of Michał Brzeżański, Leon Maszewski and others; the court messenger Bartłomiej Szepczyński of Trąbczyn proclaimed the act. The commissioner's office of the palatinate of Greater Poland acts under the decree of the Crown Tribunal at Piotrków of 17 October of the same year between Antoni Prusimski, Starost of Niszczewice, and Stanisław Chełmski, Treasurer of Wschowa. By that decree the Olęder settler Martin Hunt does not sit to the right of the line the Tribunal fixed and cannot belong to Chełmski, who had held him until then; Chełmski was to give him up to Prusimski within six weeks before the commissioner. At the request of Prusimski, who is present in person, the commissioner delivers Martin Hunt into his actual possession and binds Hunt to obedience to Prusimski; no one objects. Józef Łukaszewicz, general commissioner of the palatinate of Greater Poland, signed.
