Summary/Abstract: In 1808, the institution of public notary was introduced on Polish territories. The first trans-actions conducted in 1808 were entered in the notarial register of the Warta district. The majority of those records concerned the investments of one of the richest citizens of Uniejów, Stanisław Pieczyński. He made many purchases at that time, mostly in Uniejów, including land, a brewery, a ruined house owned by burghers named Ptaszkiewicz, and a property formerly belonging to a lo-cal clergyman. S. Pieczyński also donated a large sum of money to a hospital in Uniejów which catered for the poorest inhabitants of the city. These transactions are testimony to his affluence, which allowed him for investing in real estate and for charitable actions.
