152 and 53. XIII. Johann Gottfried Lippold and Curt Friedrich Kretschmar, violin-makers' apprentices, 1759. The latter was descended from the Umpire family, and in consideration of his father and grandfather having for a long time occupied the post of Umpire (or adjudicator) to the Guild, he was charged smaller admission fees than other master's sons.
354—60. In the year 1760, on May 28th, no less than seven violin-makers' apprentices were given the rights of mastership at a single meeting. These are: — Johann Christian Voigt, Johann Conrad Reichel, Johann Georg Lippoldt, Johann Carl Pfretschner, Georg Adam Voigt, Johann Adam Martin and Johann Georg Kurzendorfer, all members of families already mentioned. Johann Adam Martin (not a son of the above-named Martin, 23) paid as a stranger 24 thaler for the right of mastership, whereas the other six, being masters' sons, only paid 8 thaler 6 groschen each.
561. The admission of Johann Adam Glier at the same assembly was a little more complicated. He was introduced into the Guild by his father, Johann Adam Glier, who also paid the first dues for him. He paid 5 groschen for fees and 1 groschen for duty. The formal admission was only completed on December 2nd of the same year on further payment of 7 thaler 12 groschen tax for the right of mastership (exclusive of the fees already paid). It was decided at the same meeting that in future all master's sons should be subjected to the same rules of admission and treated in the same manner as Johann Adam Glier.
