They give him a quittance: for the whole suit and official action brought by those same uncles in the interest of his wife on account of a wounding and of other acts of violence and claims; for the protestations – namely the first, made by Jan Celiński, one of the uncles, and by the wife herself with his assistance, before those same records on the Saturday before the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in the year 1739, on account of the wounding and the infliction of wounds upon her and of other acts of violence and claims, together with an inspection of wounds; and the second, made on the Tuesday before the feast of the Holy Martyrs Vitus and Modestus against the party quitted so often mentioned; further, for the relations and for whatsoever court terms and quittances issued both against the uncles and against her herself; and finally for the decree of inquisition in that matter, issued in the terms (the courts of the office's suits) on the Monday after Low Sunday in the Year of Our Lord 1740 between the said uncles and herself on the one side and the party quitted on the other; and likewise for all and each of the claims arising up to this day – and this by reason of the sufficient satisfaction rendered to them in everything. The protestations, the relations and the decree they cancel; and Popławska withdraws entirely from all the above and annuls it.
