Scholars as a good Sober diligent and obedient Apprentice ought to do as by
referrence to the said Indenture of Apprenticeship among other things expressed
would appear. That the said John Van Rymsdyk< no role > had continually since he
was so Apprenticed to the Petitioner neglected to attend to the Orders of the Petitioner
in his said Business and especially by refusing and neglecting to attend to the
Petitioner to be instructed and qualified to act in his said business and had
refused and neglected to attend to the Petitioners business and had for a
considerable time past wholly absented himself therefrom and had conducted
himself towards the Petitioner in an insolent and unbecoming manner and
especially the said John Van Rymsdyk< no role > had kept very late and improper
Hours contrary to the Order of the Petitioner and had frequently secretly entered
the Petitioners House at very late Hours after the Family had been in Bed by
opening or breaking open the Windows whereby the order of the Petitioners family
had been disturbed and his House exposed to great risk and danger and that the
said John Van Rymsdyk< no role > had not in any respect conformed himself according to
the Covenants contained in the said Indenture of Apprenticeship: whereby the
Petitioner conceived himself aggrieved and prayed that the said Indenture of
Apprenticeship might be vacated and that the Petitioner might be released from
his said Apprentice. Now upon hearing the said Appeal and what hath been
alledged by the respective Parties their Counsel and Witnesses in and concerning the
Premises It is Ordered that the said John Van Rymsdyk< no role > be and he is hereby
absolutely discharged from his said Apprenticeship to the said John Andrew Gallini< no role >
the Petitioner. In Testimony whereof We four of the said Justices present in the
said Session at the making the said Order of discharge have hereunto set our
Hands and Seals the Twelfth day of January 1797.
