„Persons (different given names)” means: different combinations of a given name with a byname, not persons proved to have existed. Two namesakes from one family merge here into a single item, and the acts give nothing to tell them apart. An entry naming several families stands beside each of them — because the record names them together, and they must not be separated.

Caveat. The node “Franciszek Świerczowski” also takes in entry 1572, in which the source does not call him anyone’s father — a namesake of his may have appeared there. This does not undermine the filiation, but the source does not confirm that these acts belong to him.

notes and marginalia From this entry the third protocol of inscriptions begins. **Revision of the reading („olim” instead of „et”).** The original translation read the word before the father's given name as „et” and made Melchior the **son** of Paweł. In this chancery hand the abbreviation **„ol.” (olim)** is written as an „o” with a stroke through the shaft and is deceptively like „et”; the grammatical case decides the matter — the genitive with „filio” means **„to the son [of someone]”**, not „and to the son”. The direction of the filiation is confirmed by entry 282 of 8 April 1743 („Melchior Świerczowski, s. zm. Pawła”), from the same village of Świercze. The pattern was checked against the manuscript: entry 246 (scan 56-043, „Antonio Domaszowski … **Casimiri filio**”) and entry 302 (scan 56-051, „Stephano Jasienski **ol. N. Pauli filio**”).

Józef Świerczowski on the other; further four mowing meadows, beginning at the Karwów boundaries and running towards the Przymiarkowa boundary, between the baulks of the noble (Nob.) Piotr Karwowski on the one side and of the noble (Nob.) Łukasz Świerczowski, his brother german, on the other; further four mowing meadows, beginning at the Karwów boundaries and running towards the fields Wodturne [uncertain reading], between those same baulks — lying in the hereditary village of Świercze, with everything, for the sum of twenty-six Polish złoty, from now until a year and the day of St Valentine the Martyr falling in the year 1745, he gives in mortgage and mortgages. He consented to intromission, governing himself by the common law, and this under a like penalty of twenty-six Polish złoty, for which he appoints the present court.

[The deponent] unlettered.

notes and marginalia The term of redemption is given by a feast (St Valentine's day 1745) – a mortgage for one year, concluded precisely on the vigil of that feast in 1744, which gives exactly a year and a day. The name of the field „Wodturne” has been read with uncertainty. For the village of Świercze the clerk uses the form „Suercze” (the digraph „Su” = „świ”). Piotr Karwowski and Łukasz Świerczowski are not in the PTG tags for scan 57-018 (the tags note Bartłomiej and Maciej Karwowski Broda and Józef and Stanisław Świerczowski) – the discrepancy has been noted.

The well-born (Gen.) Józef and Franciszek Gołaski, companions of the armoured banner of the magnificent (Magn.) Skarżyński, hunter of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, brothers german to one another, being of sound mind and body, deposed and acknowledged that they give a quittance to the well-born (Gen.) Jan, Aleksander, Stanisław, Andrzej, Paweł and Wojciech Sulej, further to Paweł, Wojciech, Antoni and Józef, the Izdebski brothers, to Adam Stocki, Franciszek Świerczowski and Teresa Płochocka – for the suit and official action brought and lodged with the present office on account of the doing of damages in the meadows, the woods and the corn, further for the sum for those same damages done, together with the penalty of the convicted, adjudged to them by a decree of condescension issued in the present office upon the ground of the estate of Suleje between themselves as deponents and those same parties quitted, and lodged with the records of the present office by way of oblation on the Monday, the morrow of the feast of the Purification of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary in the Year of Our Lord 1744; and the enforcement clause of that same decree – by reason of the sufficient and actual satisfaction rendered to them, the deponents, in the sum from each person, according to the tenor of a register signed by the hand of the magnificent (Magn.) officer, and by reason of the performance of the outstanding duties – they quit and cancel.

[Autograph signature:] F. Gołaski

notes and marginalia The second quittance of that day given by the Gołaski brothers under the same decree of condescension issued upon the ground of the Sulej estate (cf. entry 1177, concerning the wounds and the act of violence); here the damages in the meadows, the woods and the corn done by thirteen defendants were reckoned. The reckoning was carried out „od każdej osoby” (from each person) according to a register signed by the officer – a rare mention of an auxiliary register of the office. The date on which the decree was lodged with the records has been reckoned: 3 February 1744 (a Monday) – the feria agrees. The surname in the manuscript is „Świerczewski”; the PTG tag gives „Franciszek Świerczowski” – the reading of the tag has been adopted. The persons agree with the PTG tags for scan 57-022.

localities in the entry

The nobles (Nob.) Stanisław Sulej, Adam Stocki, Franciszek Świerczowski, Wojciech and Antoni Izdebski, being of sound mind and body, deposed and acknowledged that they give a quittance to the well-born (Gen.) Franciszek Gołaski, companion of the armoured banner of the magnificent (Magn.) Skarżyński, hunter of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and to his successors – for all the protestations made before the public records on account of the doing of damages and other claims, and for all and each of the claims subsisting up to this day, and this by reason of the settlement concluded between them; and the protestations against him, whatsoever might still exist, they cancel.

[The deponents] unlettered.

[Below, a great ornamental word „VACUUM” filling the rest of the page.]

notes and marginalia The entry closes, from the opposite side, the series of the suits of the Gołaski with the Sulej and the Izdebski (cf. entries 1177 and 1178 of the same day): there the Gołaski gave a quittance to the defendants, here the defendants give a quittance to Gołaski. Beneath the entry the clerk filled the rest of the page with a calligraphed „VACUUM”, so that nobody might add anything – a classic safeguard of the register. Wojciech and Antoni Izdebski are not in the PTG tags for scan 57-024 (they occur in the tags for scan 57-022) – the discrepancy has been noted.
