Later reports from Ceram indicated that Mochamad was making new attempts to disturb the peace in the Bantam region, though authorities were hopeful these would be prevented.

In Amsterdam on October 1698, a dispute arose about linen cloth.

The Palatine troops in Jülich were inspected at Grimmelinghausen near Neuss and will march to the Upper Rhine this week. The French were cutting field crops there and occupying the towns of Bretten and Gochsheim, two hours from Eppingen. The cities of Pforzheim and Vaihingen were abandoned by residents. There were concerns about Heilbronn, as Marshal de Lorges expected infantry via Fort Louis to invade Swabia.

On Friday, three Brandenburg regiments crossed the Rhine at Wesel and moved toward the Meuse. The Palatine Elector's trip to Holland was scheduled for next Thursday. Marquis d'Harcourt visited Luxembourg and returned to Namur.

At the Imperial Assembly in Regensburg, there was discussion about introducing a ninth electorate. Some princes opposed this and planned to:

• Consider it a breach by the Emperor and Imperial princes
• Raise an army of 24,000 foot soldiers and 6,000 cavalry to protect their rights

Marshal de Lorges' army of 130 squadrons and 45 battalions camped near Bruchsal and Eppingen to deny supplies to the allies. The allies sent 10,000 men to Sinsheim to secure advantageous terrain. There were fears they might have to retreat to Heilbronn if pushed back by the larger French force.

Palatine troops gathered near Wimpfen for inspection. Margrave Ludwig of Baden's presence was needed in the allied army, but reports about his illness varied. Four regiments from Landgrave of Hessen-Kassel and the Wetterau estates were marching to join them, while 3,000 Hanover troops would join the remaining Hessian forces.

The officials from Sluis requested his transfer to their jurisdiction since the crime occurred in their territory, but the authorities in Breskens refused to hand him over.

On October 14, 1753, at Nagapatnam on the Coromandel coast, a legal proceeding took place. Bartholomeus Gevel and Carel Hendrik Simons were present as judicial council members, along with HaseCkamp as chief clerk.

On July 3, 1753, the accused appeared again before council members. She fully persisted in her previous confession. This took place at the town hall in Nagapatnam in the presence of H.s de Joncheere and Jan Apengh as council members.

On June 29, 1753, Faustina, a freed slave of widow Selover, appeared before the council. She was approximately 40 years old. She was examined by P.r Looman, who was appointed as principal secretary on the 25th of that month. She confessed that:

• About a year ago, she had bought and moved into a property from another freed person named Rosemont
• Three people lived on the property separately: herself, Rosemont, and a woman named Hermelina who was supported by the church

In 1778, an order was made to organize the old Secretary's Papers and ensure they stayed in proper order. The issue concerned assistant secretaries, whose number was set at 13 by a resolution dated October 24, 1774. Juan Pedro Martijn was provisionally appointed as an assistant secretary to replace the deceased Johan Gottlieb Baumgart, who had assisted the weighmaster. The appointment was initially not approved as it was thought to exceed the limit of 13. The text explains that on August 12, 1765, a list of required clerks was sent to the Board of Directors at the Amsterdam chamber, showing that 12 positions were needed, with specific assignments for each. Two positions were vacant: one in the government and one with the collectors of recognition money. On April 8, 1766, this was approved, leaving these two open positions to be filled, with the provision that if Ian Mathias Graaff was qualified for one of them, he should be appointed.

A financial record from the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in Coromandel dated October 6, 1715 shows trading details. The document includes entries signed by I. Selover on March 31, 1715 and April 30, 1715. The records detail various transactions listing prices, quantities, and profits for different goods sold from the Company's warehouses. The total profits recorded amount to 17,549 guilders, 19 stuivers, and 13 penningen.

The entries list various individual transactions with prices per pound, piece, or length, along with their corresponding profits. The accounting is done in Dutch currency of the period (guilders, stuivers, and penningen).

In 1895, discussions took place about establishing a direct postal money order service between Netherlands Indies and Great Britain and Ireland. The British postal administration and a draft supplementary agreement to the Dutch-British postal exchange agreement were involved.

The Minister believed that a direct postal money order service between Netherlands Indies and Great Britain could not be achieved by amending the 1871 agreement. Instead, they recommended making a direct agreement between the Netherlands Indies and British postal administrations.

Some key developments included:

• A telegram (No. 444) referenced a letter from May 7, 1895 about direct postal money order traffic with Great Britain
• In June 1895, the Governor of Suriname submitted copies of government papers (No. 17 and 20) to the International Postal Bureau in Bern

The document shows accounting records from Sulipatnam (also written as Lipatnam) from June and August 1714. It was signed by I. Selover. The records detail various trade transactions, particularly involving spices. The total earnings amounted to 5,578.8 guilders in June 1714 and increased to 17,497.1.10 guilders by August 1714.

At the trading post of Nagapatnam, Dutch East India Company merchants conducted trade transactions on August 31, 1714. The document was signed by P. van der Burg. Later, at the trading post of Masulipatnam on July 31, 1744, additional transactions took place under the signature of J. Selover. The records show various commercial exchanges, with the first transaction amounting to 46,200 florins, yielding 66,000 florins in sales. The total profit at Nagapatnam came to 24,755 florins, 14 stuivers, and 6 penningen. At Masulipatnam, the final sum of transactions totaled 212 florins, 7 stuivers, and 10 penningen.

In Batavia, a ship called Molenwerff brought in 179 lucaten (a type of currency). Joannes van Steelant, who was governor and director, ordered this money to be converted into pagodas (another type of currency). This conversion was overseen by justice officials and the junior merchant Isaacq Selover, using the Company's official weights and gold scales. The money was tested and measured at a rate of 120 stuivers per pagoda. The transaction resulted in a profit of 3,029 guilders, 2 stuivers, and 12 pennies for the Company.

In Sluijs on October 11, 1681, city officials wrote about financial problems. They mentioned interest rates of 5% and additional fees of 6.25%. They asked van Bredenhoff, Verheije, and Aij (who had recently been in Flanders) to help solve their money troubles. They couldn't afford to send a representative to The Hague.

A serious crime was reported in Schoondijcke. Jan de Beuckelaer, a miller, sexually assaulted Janneken Selover, the 15-year-old daughter of schoolmaster Isaacq Selover. De Beuckelaer first fled to Zeeland, then turned himself in at Breskens. The local officials in Breskens released him on a promise to return when summoned, despite requests from other authorities to keep him in custody.

On August 28, 1681, an official in Sluijs resigned from his position, which he had held since February 14, 1675.

From Chormandel on 2 April 1763, government officials were ordered to acknowledge receipt of dispatched letters in their first reply, even if they couldn't answer them immediately. They were also expected to send all bundles of northern Cormandel secretarial and trade papers at the first opportunity.

It was against regulations that the villages of Gollepalem and Goendewarom had been leased without prior permission from the government. Officials were warned to request permission first in the future.

The bookkeeper Dirk Vrijmoet arranged for his monthly wages to be paid to his grandmother, widow Selover. Abraham van Weijdom's request to charge double packaging fees for Guinea packages was approved. A request regarding the servant of chief Rinck named Coesoerij Cakaij, whose abilities were praised in a letter from Paggernaij dated 21 December, was also discussed.

On July 24, 1734, bakers in Coromandel were allowed to send their people with bread to the Company's ships to sell there. The oldest baker would serve the first ship of the year, the second oldest would serve the second ship, and so on, regardless of where ships came from or how long they stayed. This rotation would start over each new year.

Company servants and other residents were strictly forbidden from selling bread at prices higher than those set. Penalties were:

• First offense: 50 riksdaalders fine
• Second offense: 100 riksdaalders fine
• Third offense: heavier punishment as circumstances required

3. Thomasia Cracauw-De Vos
4. Jacob Leek, bookkeeper
5. Paul D'Alaida, free resident

The number of appointees would be reduced to four through natural attrition, which was deemed sufficient to serve the residents. Any future vacancies could only be filled by Protestants.

At the meeting on Friday, November 24, 1725 in Nagapatnam Castle, sailors Frans Pilleken and Albert Seisser had their wages changed to 11 guilders and 9 stuivers. Abraham Philip Stephan was hired as a young worker for 5 guilders.

The authorities in Sluijs requested his transfer to their jurisdiction since the crime was committed in their territory and the suspect was their resident. The officials of Breskens refused to hand him over. The council decided to request a report from Breskens officials and ordered them to keep de Beuckelaer in secure custody until further notice.
