[Bremen]

Lawyer Dirick van Minden to Bremen: replication to the defense of Gerdt Hemeling against his client Gerdt Breker in the case about the death of skipper Cordt Hemeling in Shetland, in which he states that the witnesses do not contradict each other, that Breker cannot pay the desired amount, and there is not enough evidence to convict him for manslaughter of Hemeling. Moreover, the translation of the testimony of Shetland governour Olave Sinclair is not valid as evidence because it is not verified by a notary.

Gerdt Hemeling to [Bremen]: rejoinder and final plea to the replication of Didrick van Minden, lawyer of Gerdt Breker, in the case about the death of Cordt Hemeling in Shetland, in which he states that he could not have forced Breker to sign his obligation, as he was about a week sailing away when it happened, and that statute 101 is not valid in this case, as the manslaughter happened abroad and not in the city of Bremen.

Lawyer Dirick van Minden to [Bremen]: surrejoinder and final plea to the rejoinder of Gerdt Hemeling against his client Gerdt Breker in the case about the death of Cordt Hemeling in Shetland, in which he repeats that Breker should not be convicted of manslaughter, and asks the council to decide whether statute 101 is valid here, since both parties are citizens of Bremen.
