Hamburg

Merchants who trade with Haneforde to Hamburg: although the council has ordered them to deposit the 750 mark freight money which is claimed by the Kibbelwick merchants, they will not do so until the latter have shown their account books, and that the matter is too complex to be judged by jurists who know nothing about loading a ship, so former seafarers should be involved as well. Moreover, as they will sail out, it is asked to postpone the case until after their return.
