Granting of an apiary in the village of Zubrza to councilor Andrzej Wachlowicz by the Lviv City Council

COUNCILORS OF THE CITY OF LVIV To all and everyone to whom it should be known, by this letter of ours we make it known: that we, with the unanimous consent of all of us, residing and former [councilors], having regard for the kindness of the honorable Mr. Andrzej Wachlowicz, our colleague, wishing to reward him for the services and labors which he has diligently and faithfully undertaken and performed in all matters entrusted to him, and to encourage him to undertake and perform further tasks more willingly, we give, grant, and henceforth release into actual possession for fifteen consecutive years, starting from the day [described below until the same] and year, that is until the year sixteen hundred and sixty-one, an apiary at this time completely devastated in all buildings and fencing, in our hereditary estate on the Zubrza lands, being within such boundaries and limits as it was held at that time by the worthy of memory Mr. Melchior Welszpowic, our colleague, together with the right to redeem from the hands of the heirs of the same late Mr. Melchior certain peasant plots, held in rent by the same Mr. Melchior, released from certain subjects, until they would pay him the aforementioned rents, as the law books of both villages of Zubrza and Sichów from the date and actions of March 7, Anno Domini 1624 testify – for holding, using, profiting, and turning to the best possible benefit, as he will be able and know how. Promising him in good faith that we will not and do not wish to disturb or in any way hinder either him or his descendants and successors in the possession and holding of this apiary until the intended time. Although this apiary is completely devastated, not only in the lower construction but also the roof is about to collapse, there is not a single stake of the fence around the orchard, and for this reason, it requires great expenditure for repair, therefore the aforementioned Mr. Wachlowicz is to be free from any rent from it for six years, and after six years, when he has somehow renovated it, he shall be obliged to pay and give to the honorable councilors each year for the division [to the division] on Christmas Eve six zlotys – to which he [...] binds himself – and after their payment, he shall be free from all other leasehold and hereditary burdens. After the expiration and end of these fifteen years, such an apiary, with all buildings, structures, fencing, and hedges (except for the bees, if any were on this land at that time, which his successors will be allowed to take from there without anyone's hindrance, as well as the aforementioned plots or lands, if they were redeemed with this apiary as above, for which the sums that Mr. Wachlowicz spends on redemption will belong to the descendants) shall pass and fall by full right into the possession, holding, and free disposal of the honorable councilors as hereditary lords, and Mr. Wachlowicz nor his successors shall not claim any compensation for those buildings and improvements that will be there at that time. For the surer faith of which, we have ordered our seal to be hung [and] pressed. Done at the Lviv Town Hall on Monday before the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Anno Domini 1646. [Expansion of the side note:] Having observed, however, that if after the death of the aforementioned Mr. Andrzej Wachlowicz his daughter were given in marriage to a man from another jurisdiction, or another successor of his had this and wanted to cede it in any way to a man from another jurisdiction, then both his daughter and any other successor shall henceforth forfeit the possession of this apiary and lose this benefit of using it, claiming no compensation for themselves.
