Proceedings of case of Nicolaus van Renselaer v. Jacob Milborne and Jacob Leisler. Leisler and Milborne have returned to the Court to request that Renselaer redact all statements made about Leisler and Milborne, and that he also pay the amount awarded by the Court. Renselaer is willing to revoke all statements, but refuses to pay Leisler and Milborne. The two therefore request that Renselaer be held "in Security" until he is willing to pay the award.
