Gerdt Breker obliges to Brun Oldenburg, Johan Belink, Oltman Icken, Harmen Middendorp, and Johan Ellebracht, that he will pay 150 Bremen marks to the heirs of Cordt Hemeling, and 20 daler to the foud of Shetland Olave Sinclair, because of his involvement in the death of Hemeling. He mortgages his posessions in and around Bremen, including his house and booth, and promises not to leave the ship that takes him back to Germany.

[Bremen]

Lawyer Dirick van Minden to [Bremen]: answer to the complaint against his client Gerdt Breker by Brun Oldenburg and Johan Beling about the death of Cordt Hemeling in Shetland, in which he explains the circumstances that led to Hemeling's death. It was the rude behaviour of Hemeling himself that led to a fight on the ship, in which he was hit among others by Breker, and fell down. However, it cannot be proven that it was these events that led to his death, as he acted normally afterwards for 10 or 12 days, before he was found dead in his bunk. As Breker had no other choice than to confess, the obligation was forced upon him and therefore, it is pleaded to be declared null and void.

[Bremen]

Lawyer Dirick van Minden to [Bremen]: complaint of his client Gerdt Breker against Gerdt Hemeling, the brother of skipper Cordt Hemeling, who allegedly died of injuries inflicted to him by Breker on Shetland, but acted normally and even helped Breker after the incident. Therefore, with an appeal to statute 101 of the city legislation, it is unfair that Breker had to pay 150 Bremen mark to Hemeling and was expelled from the city, and it is demanded that that claim is withdrawn.

[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.

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.
