Excerpt from Collections of the New-York Historical Society, 1841, Vol. 1 York should have seen fit to make the fathers of the republic the subjects of a coarse caricature, ' in which the inventive ingenuity of the author is only equalled by the grossness of his conceptions. The efi'ort was well suited to the English notions of the Dutch char acter, too common, perhaps, among ourselves, and thus easily ac quired an ill-deserved popularity. English writers, says Mr. Verplanck, in his learned dis course before this Society, have long been accustomed to describe the manners and customs of Holland with a broad and clumsy exaggeration. This is a little injudicious in them, because most of their wit, if wit it may be called, recoils back upon their own country, and strikingly resembles the flippant ridicule which their own more lively neighbours have lavished upon the hard drinking, the oaths, the gross amusements, the dingy coffee-houses, the boxing matches, the beer, and the coal-smoke of the proud and melancholy islanders. Their old maritime contests and commer cial rivalry may serve to excuse this misrepresentation in English men, but for us there is no apology.

Excerpt from Collections of the New-York Historical Society for the Year 1893 While Maturin Livingston was Recorder, Mayor De Witt Clinton ceased to preside at Mayor's Court, and from that time till 1821 the Recorder presided, the business having greatly increased, and the Mayor having ceased to preside, it was concluded that the title of Mayor's Court, no longer appropriate, should be abandoned.
