Slave Transactions

On 15 March 1695 Titus van Bengale was sold by Jacob Landsheer to Simon van der Stel, for Rds. 70.³
On 15 March 1695 Hans van Bengale was sold by Jacob Landsheer to Jan Dircks de Beer, for Rds. 100. Böeseken lists a second identical transaction a little further down the page which I have assumed is simply a repeat of this one.⁴
