As the Hon. the Government of India has been pleased to send to Ceylon by letter of May 3, 1695, a special Ordinance for the Orphan Chamber and its officials with regard to their salaries, I consider it necessary to remind you of it here and to recommend its strict observance, as well also of the resolution of March 20, 1696, whereby the Orphan Chamber is instructed that all such money as is placed under their administration which is derived from the estates of deceased persons who had invested money on interest with the Company, and whose heirs were not living in the same place, must be remitted to the Orphan Chamber at Batavia with the interest due within a month or six weeks.(41) The Commissioners of Marriage Causes will also find their instructions in the Statutes of Batavia, mentioned above, which must be carefully observed. Nothing need be said with regard to this College, but that it consists of the following persons:-- Claas Isaacsz, Lieutenant, President. Lucas Langer, Vryburger, Vice-President. Joan Roos, Onderkoopman. Jan van Bruggen, Secretary.[42] The officers of the Burgery, [47] the Pennisten, [48] and the Ambachtsgezellen [49] will likewise find their instructions and regulations in the Statutes of Batavia, and apply them as far as applicable.[43] The Superintendent of the Fire Brigade and the Wardens of the Town (Brand and Wyk Meesteren) have their orders and distribution of work publicly assigned to them by the Regulation of November 8, 1691, upon which I need not remark anything, except that the following persons are the present members of this body:-- Jan van Croenevelt, Fiscaal, President. Jan Baptist Verdonk, Vryburger, Vice-President. Jan van der Bruggen, Assistant. Lucas de Langer, Vryburger. Jacobus Aubert, Schoolmaster. Jan de Wit, Secretary. [44]
