Of course, there were and are sometimes disputes and even quarrels between the residents. This was also the case with Margriet van Ray around 1700. In the years 1700 to 1744, this woman terrorized the Court with her “insufferably quaint temper”: emptying buckets of water on the floor of the downstairs neighbors, nocturnal noise and shouting, assaulting neighbors, quarreling with French doors, keeping possession of the only key to the cistern, taunting the priest, not paying rent, etc. The Mayor and the City Council had to be involved: Mrs van Ray must henceforth behave like an ‘orderly baggijntie’. This didn’t quite work out, even later she stirred. Until death in the year 1744 silenced van Ray.
