Auseinandersetzungs-Rezess von Gembitz-Hanaland, Kreis Czarnikau
Draft Settlement Agreement of Gembic Hauland
The farmer proprietors of the Gembic lands belonging to the Gembic lordship located in Kreis Czarnikau, Regierungsbezirk Bromberg: Formerly Mielenoiner Hauländern were entitled to free building and fencing timber and free pasture for their entire livestock on the forests belonging to the Gembic lordship due to the privileges granted to them by the previous owners of the Gembic lordship in the years 1735 and 1793 and also claimed, to have the authority to freely remove the clay and field stones necessary for the construction of their buildings on stately plots.
In addition to these rights exercised by all the farmers, the owner of the krug property extended his rights in particular to the right of free firewood and to the free grazing for 100 head of sheep in the manorial forests.
In contrast, common farmers were obliged to pay the lord of the manor an annual monetary rent from their land and to take their beverage requirements of beer and brandy from him.
In 1825, the present lord of the manor applied to the Royal General Commission for the Grand Duchy of Poznan for the redemption of the wood and grazing rights of the peasants in his forests, which assigned a special commissioner to deal with them.
The latter brought about an amicable resolution and settlement of all mutual rights and obligations previously existing between the manor and the peasant owners in such a way that the lord of the manor compensated the peasant owners for their timber and grazing rights by ceding an area of forest land and that the latter had to pay cash rent to the lord of the manor for the exemption from the beverage obligation.
In addition, the services to be rendered by two farmers have been discharged, and the notice given by the lord of the manor to all the farmers on the land in their use, if any, has been removed.
The transfer of the forest plots ceded to the farmer owners by the landlord for their timber and grazing rights was made on the basis of the map and register drawn up by the Surveyor Preibisch in 1826 and recognized by all interested parties to be correct, to which therefore all the land masses occurring in this process also refer.

A, the landlord of Gembic and the Gembic Hauländer belonging to it, Casimir von Paliszewski, and
