In 1891, V. L. Blogg, an Adjutant Non-Commissioned Officer and Quartermaster in the Dutch East Indies, submitted a request dated August 22, 1891. The Governor-General in Buitenzorg received a report about this on September 15, 1891. Based on salary regulations from 1876 and a ministerial dispatch from November 27, 1888, Blogg was granted permission, starting September 1, 1891, to receive his annual pension of 480 guilders while still receiving his regular salary. This money would benefit his wife Elizabeth Beleren and their minor children:

• Johanna Leonora Eduard
• Johanna Frans
• Jores August Paulus
• Herman Nicolaas
• Gerrit Hendrik
• Ernst Francois Joseph

The document mentions that Blogg was newly enlisted on July 10, 1871, and this extract was certified in Batavia on August 15, 1891.

On January 18, 1761, there were legal proceedings involving several merchants:

On January 19, 1761, a meeting was held presided over by van Wassenaar, with representatives from various provinces including Gelderland, Friesland, and Overijssel. They discussed:

• A letter from the Admiralty College of the Maas in Rotterdam dated January 17, regarding complaints about import duties along the Maas river near Venlo, relating to a treaty from November 13, 1715

The document lists military officials who were on leave in the Dutch East Indies. Among them were:

• H. Blogg, second draftsman at the joint directorate (second-class military official with rank of First Lieutenant)

Various dates in 1865 are mentioned for their departures and returns. For example, some officials embarked to return to the Dutch Indies on March 28, 1865, while others arrived in the Netherlands on dates like August 14, 1865 and August 20, 1865. One official is recorded as having died on December 7, 1865.

Ho. Blogg, a military official of the 8th class working as an expeditor at the Artillery Department, was granted a 2-year leave to go to the Netherlands. This was awarded after more than 15 years of continuous service in the Netherlands East Indies.

His financial arrangements included:

• A leave salary of 510 guilders per year
• A deduction of 2.5% for civil pensions
• A contribution of 4% to the widows and orphans fund for civil servants
• His active duty salary of 100 guilders per month was paid until May 8, 1864
• No advance payment was given for his leave salary upon departure

The paperwork was processed through Governor-General of the Netherlands East Indies in Buitenzorg and sent to the Minister of Colonies.

This appears to be a historical Dutch registry or administrative record from an unspecified date listing names and numbers (possibly identification or registration numbers). The list contains the following patterns:

• Most listed individuals have Dutch or Germanic-sounding names, with some Indonesian names appearing (like Raden Bagoes Soendjojo)
• Names are organized by surname (starting with B) and given names
• Common Dutch surnames appear frequently, such as de Boer, van den Berg, Brouwer, and Bakker
• Each entry includes:
  • A surname (sometimes with prefixes like 'van', 'van der', 'de')
  • Given names (often multiple Christian names)
  • A reference number (4-digit numbers starting with 6 or 7)
• The entries include both civilian and nobility titles (indicated by 'Jhr.' which stands for Jonkheer, a Dutch noble title)

The list appears to be organized alphabetically by surname within the 'B' section of what was likely a larger registry.

On 1 July 1858, L. S. Mielder, a professor at Utrecht, wrote about sugar production in the colonies. Stolle had kindly sent a new copy to replace a lost memo. The Minister of Colonies requested an examination of this document on 14 May 1853.

On 7 October 1854, from Berlin, Stolle sent a letter explaining that he was sending a replacement copy of his first memo about improvements to colonial sugar industry, which had been lost. The document was marked as confidential. He mentioned his absence from Berlin was due to his role as Prussian Commissioner at the German Industry Exhibition in Munich, where he had spent nearly 3 months and would be returning in a few days.

The correspondence also mentions Schimmelpenninck, who forwarded correspondence in The Hague.

In Utrecht on January 5, 1895, various administrative matters were handled. A request for a name change was made to be directed to the military leadership. A person identified as De Noos was removed from service with a discharge letter dated June 4.

Additional military documents were provided to Eib Beberharst and various other soldiers. There were matters regarding payment of military wages, including a case involving L'Exccsij.

The text mentions hospital matters in Utrecht and payment instructions regarding D. Philipson in Amsterdam. There are also references to investigations about O. Celtulles that were concluded without results.

On May 9, 1804, at the courthouse in Ntabroek in Rio Demerary, several legal property transfers took place. First, Mr. M La Mairon as president and J.C. Doncke as council commissioner witnessed a transfer dating from May 4, 1802. I Luike, acting as general representative for Joseph Ward and his wife Elisabeth Ward, transferred ownership of two pieces of land located at the front of a plantation. This land was marked as No. 24 on the general map, including all buildings on it. The property had been previously transferred to the seller on January 11 by I.P. Muncker. The buyer was G Egeling, who accepted the transfer after full payment was made.

In a second transaction on the same day, Gysbert Egeling transferred four pieces of land, also located at the front of the plantation "Werk en Rusten," to the company of A.J. Kolwijk & Company. I Kolwijk, representing his firm, accepted the transfer after making full payment.

Both transactions were properly witnessed and signed by the officials present.

This appears to be a Dutch administrative record listing surnames, given names and reference numbers for individuals between 1813 and 1900. The entries show people with surnames beginning with 'B' in chronological order. Most common surnames include variations of Berg, Boer, Brouwer, and Beek. Notable patterns in given names include combinations of traditional Dutch names like Johan, Willem, Hendrik, and Cornelis. Many entries include multiple given names, reflecting Dutch naming customs of the 19th century. The document references various locations including Deusekom, Baarsel, and Berlijn. Reference numbers (folio numbers) range from 6546 to 7625, suggesting this may be part of a larger administrative registry or civil record book.

• Most entries follow the format: surname, given names, folio number
• Many individuals have 2-4 given names
• Common name combinations include religious names (Johannes, Jacobus) with traditional Dutch names
• The document appears to be organized alphabetically by surname within the 'B' section

This document concerns military service records for J. Herman Blogg, who was born in Hannover on August 16, 1818. He was the son of Salomon and Nina Jonas. He served in the East Indies for 9 years, 2 months, and 3 days. His military service began on February 1, 1843. On June 7, 1843, he embarked for the Dutch East Indies, where he served until September 1861 when he received his discharge papers.

Hermann Blogg, born on 6 August 1818, was a civil servant working as a temporary assistant bookkeeper at the State Medical Supplies Warehouse in Batavia. On 11 November 1867, he was granted an honorable discharge from government service while retaining his pension rights. He requested his pension on 21 November 1867 but received no response. Due to financial difficulties, he left for the Netherlands on 13 January 1868.

Upon arrival in the Netherlands, he learned at the Ministry of Colonies that no documents regarding his case had arrived from the Dutch East Indies. Having exhausted his financial means, he submitted a request on 1 June 1868 from the Druif's Hotel on Schiedamsche Dijk in Rotterdam to receive his pension payments dating back to December 1867.

His final monthly salary was 120 guilders plus housing allowance. He had paid all required pension contributions, including:
