The esteemed lord baron R.E.E. van der Capellen, lord of the Boedelhof Rijsselt and Dam, has brought to the attention that Mr. Copes van Hasselt, acting on behalf of the aforementioned esteemed gentleman, had agreed with Mr. Ten Borch on May 2, 1750 - the agreement act has been recorded after this resolution - on the damming of the drainage steram, the so-called Molenbeek of maintaing the status quo until further agreement would have been reached at a forthcoming meeting, this agreement containing no expiry date. It has been questioned, since due to the absence of Mr. Ten Borch and the subsequent postponement of such a meeting, whether it would be wise to notify the measures most beneficial to the mark, especially since it has been stated by several farmers, having been present at that time, or having good knowledge of these past events, that for 13 years ago the aforementioned drainage canal or Molenbeek had been dammed by some farmers from the seigniority of verwoolde at about the same location it has been dammed now. This former dam had been demolished by some of the farmers of the mark of Exel at the orders of the late lord and chairman of the assembly of the mark, baron Hendrik J. van Nagel, lord of Ouden and Nieuwen Ampsen, after which event the stream had run freely up unril May 1749. On this proposal, after deliberation, it has been agreed and understood unanimously, not only to annull the temporary agreement, but also to order the scribe to notify this to Mr. Ter Borg by letter, in order to hear whether his lordship would be willing to have the aformentioned dam in the drainage leat or Molenbeek removed and demolished within 6 weeks after the receipt of this letter, in order to return this stream to its former flow. The lord chairman of the assembly of the mark, together with lord mayor G. Vatebender, A. Nijman, Harmen Menger, G. Hiddink, and Wilmerink have been commissioned by the assembly of the mark, in case the amorementioned gentleman would fail to do so within the aforementioned period of time, to have this dam removed from the drainage leat or Molenbeek, thus maintaining the rights this mark has, since, due to the wet summer, the farmers of this mark had experienced great damage.
