Waśniewski

The noble (Nob.) Andrzej Radzikowski called Buyno, being of sound mind and body, deposed that he gives a quittance to the nobles (Nob.) Michał and Kunegunda née Waśniewska Chromiński, husband and wife, and to their successors for the simple penalty of fourteen Polish marks, and likewise for the sum of thirty-four Polish złoty for rye taken, adjudged – together with the luitum (lucta) penalty of three Polish marks – by a decree of condescension issued by the present office on the ground of the estate of Radzików Stopki between the deponent and the parties quitted; and this because they have now been paid out to him.

The noble (Nob.) Piotr Obrębski, in his own name and in the name of the noble (Nob.) Helena Zdanowska, daughter of the noble (Nob.) Kazimierz Zdanowski, his lawful wife, for whose ratification he stands surety, deposed that he gives a quittance to the noble (Nob.) Józef Waśniewski and to the noble (Nob.) Marcin, his son, and to their successors for the sum of twenty Polish złoty – inscribed by that party quitted to the said noble (Nob.) Kazimierz Zdanowski, the father of the deponent's wife, by way of mortgage, before the present records on the Saturday on the eve of the feast of Saints Simon and Jude the Apostles in the Year of Our Lord 1737, upon certain estates lying in the hereditary estate of the village of Danysze [uncertain reading] – and this by reason of the actual payment of that sum; and that inscription he cancels.

Before the present castle court records of Łuków, having appeared in person, the nobles (Nob.) Józef Waśniewski and Marcin, his son – that same Marcin acting also in the name of the noble (Nob.) Elżbieta Zdanowska, his wife – on the one side, and the noble (Nob.) Piotr Obrębski on the other side, deposed that for every suit and official action pending between them over the damage done to the corn, and likewise over the devastation and cutting down of an orchard, as also for all the protestations, relations and decrees handed down in that matter, and in particular for the sum of forty-eight Polish złoty and the penalty of three marks, adjudged by a decree of condescension after an oath had been performed (expleto juramento), they mutually and reciprocally give a quittance to one another, release one another and discharge one another for ever. They likewise give a quittance to the noble (Nob.) Katarzyna, widow left by the late noble (Nob.) Kazimierz Zdanowski. Moreover, the noble (Nob.) Piotr Obrębski gives a quittance to the nobles (Nob.) Waśniewski for all the mutual claims which he had or might have had against them, after the amicable settlement concluded between the parties — saving, however, in their entirety and unimpaired the claims of the noble (Nob.) Stanisław Ługowski. And all the protestations, relations and decrees handed down in that matter the parties hereby cancel, annul and declare void, imposing eternal silence upon themselves in the matter.

The noble (Nob.) Józef Waśniewski, son of the late noble (Nob.) Karol Marcin (of two names) Waśniewski, being of sound mind and body, deposed that to the well-born (Gen.) Józef Jasiński, regent of the present records, son of the noble (Nob.) Jan Jasiński, and to his successors those hereditary paternal estates which in any manner concern the deponent – that is his whole and entire inheritance share in the homesteads, the arable, the fields, meadows, woods, forests and the other [profits] adjoining and belonging to those estates, lying and situated in the hereditary village of Jasionka, free of encumbrances – with every right he gives, donates and inscribes. He consented to intromission forthwith and promised warranty, and this under the land-law damages and under the jurisdiction of the present office.

Marianna Ocieszalska, by her first marriage the wife of the late well-born (Gen.) Jakub Borkowski, and by her second and present marriage the wife of the well-born (Gen.) Michał Koźmiński – by reason of the absence of her husband, who is staying in the Volhynian voivodeship and therefore cannot give her his assistance, with the assistance of the well-born (Gen.) Józef Waśniewski, her brother german – being of sound mind and body, deposed that the sums, namely:

the first of three hundred Polish złoty, which the said late well-born (Gen.) Jakub Borkowski, her former husband, before the marriage vows were made, taking the dowry as a loan, inscribed before the present castle court records of Łuków on the Monday, the vigil of the feast of St Elizabeth the Queen in the Year of Our Lord 1715 [18 November 1715];

and the second of three hundred and fifty Polish złoty, which, by way of a simple debt, out of the dowry taken up, he deposed to her and inscribed to her, then his wife, before those same records on the Wednesday, the vigil of the octave of the feast of the Most Holy Body of Christ Our Lord of that same year 1726 [26 June 1726] –

both these sums, therefore, making together six hundred and fifty Polish złoty, together with all their rights – with the right to take them up, to give a quittance for what is taken up and to pursue them by the ordinary course of law – she yields up and cedes to the well-born (Gen.) Jan Ła…wowski [the surname – uncertain reading], son of the late well-born (Gen.) Wojciech, and to his successors. Moreover the deponent, together with her brother, undertakes and enters in the records that within a set term of weeks she will produce a deed of cession, or another like it, before any authentic records of the Kingdom whatsoever, and will bring the promise to fulfilment.
