Peter Einerson, sheriff of Thorsnesting in Iceland, confesses that he wanted to set the trade with skipper Hans Hauler following the conditions set out at Althing last year. The Hamburg merchants, however, complained against this, stating that they didn't know about these new conditions, and therefore the trade was not set.
