1763

Konin

A decree of the land court at Konin, of its sitting of 1763, in the dispute between the widow Katarzyna Prusimska, born Rozdrażewska, with Joseph Puchalski on one side, and Stanisław Ścibor Chełmski with one Czajkowski on the other; each side is plaintiff and at the same time summoned. The court holds that sworn witnesses must be examined, has it done and has the testimony read out. It showed that in 1761 Prusimska had sent potash-burners off with potash; Chełmski, travelling to Poznań, came upon them near Pyzdry as they were making for Gdańsk, had the potash sequestered and stored at an inn in Pyzdry, and laid an arrest on it with the notary of the customs house. The burners, helped by the noblemen Wawrowski and Gotartowski, took it away over the notary's objection and brought it to Gdańsk. Because the dispute over the boundary between Trąbczyn and Łukom is still undecided between the parties before the Crown Tribunal, and only the fixing of the boundary will show on whose ground the potash was made, the court suspends its decision and orders the testimony handed to the parties from the chancery in a closed roll.
