On 16 October 1778, Mr. Paul Engelbert Martens, a councilor in the Provincial Court of Utrecht, was assigned to handle a case involving Jaime, Johan Godfried Muller, and Ernst Philip Caneau De Beauregard, Lord of Broekhuijsen and Eeden. The defendant was Johan Godfried Kotzer, the plaintiff.

On 18 November 1778 at 10 AM, Johan Gottfried Muller appeared before Commissioner Martens as a witness. He confirmed under oath that his statement from 9 October 1778 was true and that he stood by it. He also verified that a translation of his resignation from the Russian Court, which he had written himself, matched the original document shown to the commissioner. Muller identified himself as a former cellist at the Chancellery Guard in St. Petersburg.

They reported finding an unpaid bill from 1786 and 1787 for repairs to company buildings (now state-owned), amounting to ƒ281. They requested authorization to pay this bill upon examination and agreement.

• A request was read from J. F. Muller and Mr. M. Lamaison, executors of Hendrik Schoonderbeek's estate. They stated that according to the will (dated 14 November 1793, witnessed by C. I. A. Stackman), a freed slave named Jennij was bequeathed three slaves—Soe, Susanna, and Marianna—as well as half of Concession No. 67 in Sabroek (north of Agter Dam), including its buildings.

• A bond dated 4 May 1787, where A. van der Burg owed Hendrik Schoonderbeek ƒ400 for half of Jennij's freedom, which remained unpaid.
• A receipt dated 1 November 1788, where Hendrik Schoonderbeek acknowledged receiving ƒ800 from Jennij, freeing her from slavery.

• Declare Jennij free, allowing her to enjoy the benefits of freedom, or

On 4 May 1722, a letter was sent from Bantam to Henric Zwaardecroon, the Governor General, and the Council of the Dutch East Indies. It was received in Batavia on 5 May 1722.

The writers expressed their loyalty and reported that they had not heard of any major events since their last letter on 28 April 1722. They mentioned the treachery of Pieter Erbervelt and his accomplice but had no news of any local unrest. They promised to follow orders and remain vigilant, as hidden enemies can be more dangerous than open ones.

The letter also noted that the wife of Captain Legrand was traveling to Batavia on a Dutch ship, and they had given her 22 guilders for expenses.

In a postscript, they added that the son of the king or the youngest brother of Pangeran Katue, named Pangerang Ardij, had married one of the daughters of the Pannambahan on 29 April 1722. The Pannambahan himself was also supposed to get married on that day, and there was a celebration with all the nobles.

The letter was signed by A. van Tets, I. Legrand, Jan Timotheerman, Philip de Waal, and S. M. Hoogerwerff.

Another letter was sent from Batavia to Henric Zwaardecroon and the Council on 11 May 1722, acknowledging the receipt of the previous letter.

Article 10 of the agreement discussed the conditions of the proposed conversion but did not mention a specific deadline for the exchange. The last sentence of the article suggested that no one at the time considered a time limit. This limit was only found in the prospectus issued by the bankers, stating: “Holders of the 1567 bonds will be offered the opportunity to exchange their bonds and those of the current loan within three months after the close of subscription, with an additional payment of 7% on the nominal amount.”

Since the deadline for conversion was included in the subscription without warning that it would be final, could this provision from the bankers' prospectus be binding on the State of the Netherlands to reject a later conversion as conflicting with Article 5 of the agreement ratified by the Legislative Power on 8 December 1568?

Poolman, Pippel & Co. hoped that the question would be answered in the negative. They argued this would benefit foreign holders of the 1567 bonds, who might justly complain that the conversion deadline was unknown and repeatedly pressed them on the matter. Additionally, the conversion would greatly benefit their company, allowing them to manage with an annual lottery. If, however, the colonial authorities insisted on their view, the company would also have to hold a lottery for the 1667 bonds, potentially causing confusion in the allocation of funds for amortization between the two loans. The 1669 loan stipulated that the previous loan should be fully repaid by the start of amortization.

They added that the discussed conversion would bring significant advantages in terms of trust if the authorities allowed them to act as stated in their previous letter. They authorized their agent in Amsterdam to hold the 1667 bonds from the 1660 loan at their disposal for exchange with a certain number of bonds from the 1667 loan of the Nederl. Pd. Soorid. Maats..

In 1619, a dispute arose over the price of goods. To resolve it, merchants were offered an additional 8 ¾ pagoda (or ƒ 52.10) per pack on top of the existing 110 pagoda, replacing the previous rate of 137 ½ pagoda (or ƒ 825) with a new rate of 118 ¾ pagoda (or ƒ 312.10) per pack. This was a one-time offer with no future obligations.

The other party initially refused. However, after further consideration and the return of the goods (10 packs), they agreed to a new price: ƒ 140.15 (or ƒ 843.15 total) for the first pack and ƒ 134.9 (or ƒ 806.5 total) for the second pack, based on the receipt of the first shipment from Pulicat.

On 188, a request was made to her Highness for a decision regarding the necessary repairs to Castle Geldria and its fortress. The repairs, which were presented by the leaders in a report dated 11 November of the previous year, were discussed in a commission meeting on 21 April of the current year. Due to the importance and scale of the repairs, it was decided to seek her Highness's respected decision before proceeding. The mentioned report is enclosed with this request. Meanwhile, they have recommended sending the documents there.

On 186, it was deemed appropriate to free the people of Palliacatta from their obligations. Their passes, dated by Pieter Elsevier and authorized by the office, allowed them to rest, which would help the mentioned office prosper and satisfy the honorable request.

Following a petition from the farmers of EComp.'s island Erikan in September of the previous year, due to illness, it was decided on 20 April and communicated by letter on 14 May that they could be temporarily released under proper caution and surety for their obligations. However, the supervisor of the island, Pieter Elsevier, had already, either on the date or a few months prior, deemed it fit to release these people on their own recognizance by authority.

The reasons for this will be examined further. Additionally, in the unresolved matters of this office, the required redress has not yet been addressed by the honorable Bernard Phoonsen, Extraordinary Council of India, as the investigation and further necessary actions were postponed until his personal arrival. This matter is humbly referred to the previously mentioned report concerning the follow-up on the recommendations to his honor by the honorable instructions at the respective place.

• Nunes was acquitted on 18.
• Nehrkoen (H. P.) was recognized on 37.
• Nassij (M.C.) was acquitted on 53.

In her will, the testator left the following:

• A small diamond finger ring to her nephew Abraham Fernandes.
• All her remaining clothing (silk, linen, and wool), as well as her gold and silver jewelry and other trinkets (except those already bequeathed to others) to her sisters Tael Fernandes and Rachel Fernandes (wife of M.C. Nassij), each receiving half.
• Her half share in a house and property located in Paramaribo on Heeren Straat to her sister Tael Fernandes, provided she takes over the mortgage and repays it as her own debt.
• A diamond brooch and a diamond finger ring with a yellow stone (which she had received as a gift from her brother) to her brother Samuel Fernandes.
• Freedom to her enslaved woman named Noortje, at the expense of her estate. Additionally, all of Noortje's existing and future children were to be freed.
• If her mixed-race enslaved woman Coba and her son Jan, along with any future children born within a year of the testator’s death, wished to buy their freedom, they could do so for a sum of 2,500 guilders.
• Freedom to her mixed-race child Kekie, the daughter of her enslaved woman Cornelia, with the costs of obtaining the manumission papers to be covered by the estate or someone acting on its behalf.
• If the freed mixed-race woman Judie van Zehusschen wished to buy her enslaved girl named Selfie, she could do so for 800 guilders.
• A request that any claims found against her estate not be legally pursued against her brothers and sisters for at least the first two years after her death. Instead, efforts should be made to settle these claims amicably, in a manner consistent with both their interests and those of her estate.

• For 71 weeks, to show a small sign of gratitude for the unearned favors that the East India Company had shown him, which he should have respected more, he or his men, without orders and hoping for better loot, drove the unfortunate king of Sumbawa from Hampang—as the narrator later learned.
• He kept the king’s shield and two richly decorated spears until the narrator had to reclaim them, which he now hands over to the respected addressee.
• Raja Sumbawa never formally complained to the narrator about this, so the narrator did not bring it up with the allies but silently tolerated it.
• On Sumbawa, as the king informed the narrator on 21 of the current month via his envoy Cattze Nikzo, things were still going well.
• Krai Taliwan and his followers had rescued the young king of Salemparang in time and captured him, while their troops still held Lombok, the coastal area of Sasemparan, preventing the Balinese, a force of about 7000 men, from crossing to Sumbawa.
• This might have lasted if they had followed the narrator’s advice to fortify and hold their position without first attacking the Balinese.
• However, their boldness did not allow this; when they exposed themselves and the Balinese tried to cross the open field, the main warriors of Sumbawa—Mackela Soemading, Demoncroij, and Makkakiepa—along with 20 others, paid with their lives.
• Krai Baliaang was forced to retreat to his village, just as Raja Sumbawa had done, as the narrator was informed by an express message while outside the bay of Bima on his way back, which did not bode well.
• Nonetheless, the narrator had already acted on the respected addressee’s earlier order received by letter on 72.

On 26 June, a letter from E. Discrete s=r L was sent. It arrived in Bima on 3 July, delivered by Iokamma, who came safely with Raadja Bima and handed over 8 piculs of wax as mentioned in the letter. This was recorded in the books with a credit of ƒ336 for the Comptoir.

The letter also mentioned that times were difficult for traders in Cumbawa. This was confirmed by Crain Taliwan, brother of the king of Cumbawa, who arrived safely on 1 July. However, on 13 July, Crain Taliwan was murdered in his home in Bontouale by Radin Sangelea, a relative of the king of Srembawes. The murderer was soon executed by the king of Cumbawa and his officials, to whom the exercise of justice had been deferred by Comptoir and Bonij.

Additionally, the queen of Cumbawa died in her residence on 20 July. These events might cause unrest in Cumbawa.

The letter also discussed issues with Elkat, who refused to obey their old regent Jenellij pekat and instead wanted Fenellij Core, whom they considered the rightful heir, as their regent. They claimed this was to avoid excessive taxes imposed by Dompose Jock and Turelij gampo.

The E Comp=e stated that it was not their place to intervene in the affairs of the subjects whenever they refused to obey their lord, especially when the complaints were vague and lacked specific details about the taxes.

On 23 May 1732, in Macassar, Governor Josua van Arrewijne strongly complained about the unsafe conditions for travelers between Bima and Macassar, especially in the highlands of Saleijer, Tambora, and Mangaraij.

After the usual military exercises and religious service, nothing noteworthy occurred.

Salomon Iacobsz, a translator, returned from Bantimoerong. He had been sent there on 2 March 1732 to retrieve mining equipment.

A Chinese trader named Quehoekong arrived in Macassar from Batavia with his Chialoup ship for trade.

The ships Adam and Eva returned to Macassar. They had been sent with a group from Patchiallangs, led by a supervisor, to Glisson to recover a heavy anchor lost by the ship Hogenes. Their efforts failed because they could not maneuver properly. When three cables broke, they were forced to abandon the attempt. They submitted a report, signed by themselves and the crew of Patchiallangs, to Governor Josua van Arrewijne.

The report stated that they tried to recover the anchor by dragging the area with grapnels and pulling on the cables, but all attempts failed. They even tried pulling the cable by hand, but it did not budge. The report was signed by G. van den Bergh, J. Scheepsdorp, J. Selderswijk, and Cornelis de Coning in Macassar on 6 April 1732.

On the afternoon of 10 April 1732, 10 people visited Governor Josua van Arrewijne.

On 23 May 1732, from Macassar, 2 letters were dispatched. The first was a reply to one sent on 12 March 1732 by the resident Willem van Duijven via the returning bimanees Djenang Bitsjo, escorted by a shackled Chinese, to the authorities. The second letter was about the cost and good intentions for the garrison, taken by Corporal Daniel Lokhorst, the patchalls (supervisor), and others. They had a cargo of 10 tiende (a measure) of rice, which they properly delivered.

In response, Boelecomba left the land today to return, under the escort letters also dated 3 May, as per the dispatch of these authorities. The governor ordered the anchor to be slipped by the dirk werff ship Hogenes to lighten it, as they declared their duty to do so, as evidenced by the materials they took for it.

Upon the appearance of three different Saturday rent vessels in the rheede (roadstead) of Macassar, the lord

• In the afternoon, the regent of Poelouw Bankeeng visited the governor's house, bringing an old slave belonging to the king of Tambora. The slave had been hidden there by the fled regent Eeni and was immediately handed over to the king.
• On Wednesday, Carre man and genroeroe, coming from Mangaraij, reported to the governor that the area was very unsafe. They had been attacked by two robbers on their way and barely escaped, as confirmed by their detailed account given to the political secretariat.
• On Thursday, a police meeting was held, with 3 decisions recorded in the resolutions of that date.
• On the set date, letters and gift goods from Batavia for the good king were to be collected. On Friday, after the requested access was granted, the following Macassar dignitaries appeared at the water gate of the castle for this purpose:
  • tomelalang
  • crain grisse
  • batia oete
  • simpanang
  • bonto majannang
  • paleemba
  • aloe
  • bonto tangan
  • macale
  • baroatngeen
  • den glarang van bontuala
  • matoa wasoo
  They were introduced to the governor's house by Hendrik van Rijd, the under-merchant and warehouse clerk, and Anthonij de Visser, the garrison bookkeeper. After a short wait, the letters and gifts for their king were handed over. Following the local custom, they were treated to a local feast and, accompanied by the introducers, were escorted out of the gate with 9 cannon shots. They then traveled to Bima and Bantimorong.

On 23 May 1731, a letter from Macassar was sent to the government via the council of Ternate. On 1 October 1731, Hendrik Theunisz, the resident, arrived along with the regents of Balla Boelo, Ziolo, and Dantarang with their annual tribute. After receiving permission on 25 October 1731, Governor Biwas, the hereditary prince Boemi Partiga, accompanied by the elderly matron Crain Tanna Tanna and other court officials, paid their respects to the governor as was customary.

Boemi Partiga stated that he had come to appear before the governor again and to urge a swift expedition of troops. He mentioned that he had already waited a long time and now understood that most of the overseas allies had already arrived. He also requested to know how he should conduct himself.

The governor replied that he was waiting for confirmation from Boemi Partiga's brothers, as had been communicated to him from Macassar on 23 May 1730 and 1 October 1730. Once they arrived, the governor would inform him of what was necessary.

Boemi Partiga responded that, as a young prince, he humbly requested the governor to instruct him fatherly and to consider his weak position if he lacked knowledge in any matter.

The governor replied that he would gladly do so, but he noted that all sincere recommendations and serious warnings were repeatedly ignored by the stubborn leaders of Boni. This was evident in the delay and the refusal to send the urgently requested Riose Maleijers. He added that such matters would be discussed and addressed in due time.

On 23 September 1714, officials from Macassar in the Castle Rotterdam wrote a letter. The signatories were J:s P:s Sipman, D: van Berendregt, H: Wolsraed, Ioann:s Steenhoff, I: vander Htee, I: Happon, and A:s vanden Anker.

They addressed Christoffie van Swoll, the Governor-General, and the Council of the Dutch East Indies. They mentioned a previous letter from 8 August about the Anakoda Care, a very generous Todjang lord, and others from Hoe and Temaaise.

They had received requests to investigate harmful trade and smuggling of spices in the Company's territories. They wanted to know where the spices came from and who sold them to foreign nations like the English, Chinese, and Buginese.

They also considered how to stop this harmful smuggling with the least offense. However, they could not find any useful information from the Johoreese ships. The captains had left again or were hiding in Tsinrana Oom.

They reported that only 5 ships had sailed to Johoor from 26 April 1714 to 12 July 1714, including one named Toxalla Wadjores with 146 bong.

On 23 May 1732, in Macassar, a meeting was held. Governor noted that the severe illness of his highest official had improved, and he intended to visit Tello with his family for about 5 days. His wife wished to buy some goods. They had passed through the Chinese Campang and had casual conversations for about an hour until noon. The Governor wished his highness a speedy recovery and took a friendly leave, showing his sorrow outwardly with a pale face, yet he appeared stronger than previous reports suggested.

On 19 October 1731, a police meeting was held in Macassar. A letter from Resident Duijvenvoorde, dated 9 October, arrived from the Residency of Bima. On 20 October, envoys from Pangar—Nakama, Nangtendo, Bamest, and Nangtendo Bolo—arrived with a letter from the local ruler and nobles, addressed to the government. The Sabandhar first brought them in. After their greeting and a usual gift, they were dismissed.

On 21 October, a Sunday, the sick visitor Nairak conducted a proper church service. In the afternoon, on 23 October, the under-merchants Lursenius and van Reyd were sent as express couriers. They brought letters and gifts from the Goan court to his High Excellency. These were escorted by a battalion with a flying banner to outside the castle and taken aboard the shallop of the citizen Jan Hendrik Krookwits.
