Settlement between the communities of the Zamość Entailed Estate and the Chełm-Bełz region

The Chełm-Bełz and Zamość Entailed Estate elders agreed to settle disputable issues in the arbitration court, to which they appointed their arbitrators. The Chełm-Bełz elders appointed Szmojło, the rabbi of Hrubieszów, and Fiszel, the scribe of the Crown Jews. The Zamość Entailed Estate Jews appointed Szmul, the rabbi of Szczebrzeszyn, and Juda Hirszowicz, an Opatów Jew. The superarbitrator was Irsz Bolochowski from Rzeszów. If the representatives of one of the parties did not appear on the court date, then Fiszel could unilaterally order them to pay the poll tax by the tariffs previously arranged by the Crown elders. There would then be no possibility to refuse or change the assessment, to which the Crown treasurer agreed. The parties agreed on the date of the meeting in Żółkiewka on 15 May 1721. No more than four representatives of each party could come to the arbitration court sitting.
