In November 1716, a report from Macassar listed boats under the control of Castle Rotterdam, detailing their condition and necessary repairs. The report was recorded by Jan Macassar and approved by officials including Joannes Philipus Sipman, the Governor and Director of Macassar, as well as Van Do Snippe (secretary), S. Cappon (under-merchant), and Abraham van den Anker (trade assistant).

• The Pantchallang named Casuaris:
  • Required new "feet" (likely supports or stabilizers).
  • Dimensions: 55 units long, 16.5 units wide.
  • Mast hole: 4.5 units deep.
  • Crew: 10 (strong), armed with 10 metal guns.
• Another boat:
  • Needed a new keel and some repairs to the hull.
  • Crew: 11 (strong), armed with 8 small cannons ("prince pieces").

    • Crew: 90, with 10 oars.
    • Needed repairs to the hull and some wooden parts.
  • Second boat:
    • Crew: 8, with 8 oars.
    • Needed a "calvaat slag" (type of repair).

The report also listed the owners of various boats, divided into groups:

• European citizens and Christian Mardijkers (a local ethnic group):
  • Andries Raadman: owned 1 boat (25.5 units), 1 gonting (small boat, 5.5 units).
  • Cornelis Hardenberg the Elder: 1 boat (35.5 units), 1 gonting (30.5 units).

  • Adriaan Schouten: 1 boat (6.8 units).
  • Joost Abrahamsz: 1 boat (5.6 units).
  • Joan de Madera and Widow Brugman: jointly owned 1 boat (6.6 units).
  • Diogo Towaris: 1 boat (25.9 units), 1 gonting (25.12 units).
• Chinese and Pernockan (another local group):
  • Onglieko (Captain of the Chinese): 1 boat (40.6 units).
  • Njaij Sittij (widow of the old Captain Ongwadko): 1 boat (15.9 units), 1 gonting (20.16 units).
  • Bappa Moessa: 1 boat (5.6 units).
  • Ongkeenko: 1 boat (5.6 units).

On November 30, 1716, a letter was sent from Macassar by a cousin of the Captain of the Chinese. The writer asked the Governor-General to excuse the kiaij marta diaija (a local official) if any mistakes were made due to forgetfulness or ignorance. The writer trusted the Governor-General to help and requested that if any favor was granted, the Captain of the Chinese—who was the writer’s brother—would come to meet them. As a gift, the writer sent only half a picol (a unit of weight) of bird’s nests, given with a sincere heart.

The letter was written on a Saturday morning, 11 Saban 1126 (in the local calendar), by a servant of the court of Banjar. It included a list of the Dutch East India Company’s (VOC) ships and other vessels anchored nearby, along with their sizes, equipment, and crews:

• The Chialoup Bonij: 60 feet long, 17 feet wide, with 8 guns and 10 crew members. It carried 6 small cannons but needed daily repairs.
• The Chialoup H Van Macassar: 60 feet long, 6 feet wide, with 10 crew members. It carried 6 small cannons and needed some deck planks.
• The Pantchallp (the guard): 9 crew members, armed with 10 small cannons.
• The Prins van Cheribon (Prince of Cheribon): 48 feet long, 11.5 feet wide, with 8 crew members. It carried 6 small cannons and 2 larger ones but needed outer planks and two chimneys.
• The Adam and Eva: Each 40 feet long, 12 feet wide, with 4 crew members. Both needed repairs to their hulls.
• The Pantchallang (the protector): 54 feet long, 14 feet wide, with 8 crew members. It carried 6 small cannons but needed a new tent, inner supports, and outer repairs.
• The Santchall: d' voorsigtigheijt (the caution): 61 feet long, 17 feet wide, with 13 crew members. Another vessel of the same name was 61 feet long, 7 feet wide, with 7 crew members.

In a letter from Macassar dated November 1716, the writer (likely a ruler) addressed the Governor-General of Banjarmasin (representing the Dutch East India Company) to propose a strong alliance. The writer, along with Padoeka Adinda Seri Sultan Bidour Aldin (also called the Raja of Bone), wished to form a "true brotherhood" with the Governor-General and his advisors. Their goal was to unite the kingdoms of Bone and Banjarmasin as one powerful realm.

The letter used a metaphor to describe the bond:

• The writer compared themselves to a body.
• The King of Bone was the backbone (or "keel," possibly meaning spine).
• The Chinese Captain (a subject of the Governor-General of Banjarmasin) was the heart.

However, the writer noted that even a body with a backbone and heart was useless without a soul (symbolizing unity) and wise counsel (strategic planning).

The Chinese Captain was trusted to share the writer’s intentions—both good and bad—with the Governor-General, as he was considered the "heart" of this alliance. The letter also mentioned that a person named Kiai Marta Diaija accompanied the Chinese Captain, though the writer dismissed this individual as unimportant.

In a letter dated 30 September 1716, Abel d’k den Anker, a Dutch official in Macassar (now Makassar), explained that stopping illegal trade in the area was nearly impossible. The region had too many hidden bays and inlets where ships could hide, and he lacked the authority to prevent smuggling.

On the same date, local leaders—including the "great councilors of the empire" and elders from Tambora—formally requested the Dutch replace their current king, Jamal (also called Daing Mamangon). They asked for Prince Abdul Hasis to become the new ruler, under the same terms agreed with past kings. The Dutch, seeing no reason to refuse, approved the request but set conditions:

• Abdul Hasis had to follow all past treaties, especially the one signed by Cornelis Beernink (Governor and Director of the Dutch East India Company) on 18 April 1701. This included agreements with the kingdoms of Sumbawa, Dompo, Kalonkong, and Pekot.
• The succession rules in Article 17 of the 1701 treaty—regarding the rivalry between the houses of Abdul Baris and Daing Mamangon—had to be strictly followed.
• Under Article 19, the Dutch Governor-General and Council of the Indies in Batavia retained the power to modify the treaty if needed for Tambora's benefit.

The 1701 treaty was read aloud in Malay (written in Arabic script) to Abdul Hasis, the governors, and representatives from Bima, Dompo, Tambora, Kalonkong, and Sangar to confirm the renewal of the agreement.

On November 30, 1716, a report from Macassar listed the number of ships and boats owned by various groups and individuals. The total count included:

• Toadji, Toelang Tosoenie, and others: 10,115 ships of various types (like tosoenting, sodalima, and pamana).
• Boeginesen and Topalla: several ships, including 6 ladio.
• Wadjoresen (led by Matoa, their chief): 25 ships, with some lost or damaged.
• Europeans and Christen Mardijckers (Christian locals of mixed descent): more small ships (chialoup) but fewer large ones (pantchall).

The report noted changes from the previous year:

• 1 extra small ship (chialoup).
• 11 fewer medium ships (gontings).
• 2 fewer large ships (pantchallangs).

Reasons for these changes included:

• Michiel de Vreede (a citizen) lost his ship off the east coast of Java (not listed in the report).
• The widow of a deceased man replaced a large ship with a smaller one (~30 lasten, a unit of weight).
• A Chinese Christian, Diogo Towaris, upgraded his medium ship to a small one (not previously recorded as he arrived late last year).
• Ships were lost in rivers near Tello (1 medium, 1 large), Goa (3 medium), and from the Bougineesen (2 medium) and Wadjoreesen (2 medium).

The report warned that numbers for the Boegineesen, Macassaaren, Pellonesen, and Wadjoreesen might not be fully accurate and would need further review in 1717.

• Arou Teeko, acting on behalf of his lord, encountered a group of people from Bone and Barroe (referred to as the Crains) who had committed crimes in Passia (likely Pasir, in Borneo). They had stolen goods and feared punishment.
• The Crains initially refused to surrender, despite Arou Teeko offering them pardon if they complied. They compared themselves to "wild animals hunted by hunters," afraid to trust the offer.
• After 3 days of failed negotiations, Arou Teeko suggested moving to a nearby island for safer anchoring. The Crains agreed, and both parties sailed there. Arou Teeko then personally met them, repeating his offer of pardon if they returned stolen goods to the victims (the Passureesen).
• One of the Crains, named Cram Labaccan, had fled to another island (possibly part of the Riau-Lingga archipelago). Arou Teeko pursued him, suspecting the locals of sheltering him, and destroyed a village there as retaliation.
• Both groups eventually returned to Koti (likely Koti Island), where the Macassars (people from Makassar) arrived later due to their larger, slower ships. The local leaders asked Arou Teeko to attend the installation of a new ruler (a child of Arou Gaa Goa's daughter) as a replacement for the deceased one.
• After the ceremony, the Crains returned some—but not all—of the stolen goods, claiming others (like the Malijers, likely people from Malay regions) were also involved. They mentioned many Malijers were still on Pulo Island.
• Arou Teeko sent Inrebassa Latij to Pulo to demand the Malijers return stolen goods and free any enslaved Bugis (people from Bone and nearby areas, including women). The Malijers stalled, responding only the next morning with a defiant letter, calling Arou Teeko's demands too harsh.
• A skirmish broke out: the Malijers attacked with paggers (small boats), and Arou Teeko's men fired back from higher ground. Both sides suffered losses. Realizing further conflict would look like a greedy quest for loot, Arou Teeko decided to retreat to Passia.
• After waiting out the west monsoon (around March/April), they returned home, bringing with them prisoners: Petroansa Sabandaar, Kiaij Demon, and Wira Patra.

• On January 13, 1880, the government approved a payment of 250 guilders from the national fund to cover funeral costs for the widow of Naden Salck, who passed away in July 1880.
• On May 28, 1881, a man named Rost from Haddrup, near Wettringen in Westfalen, offered his services to help organize emigration from Germany to other places, including Dutch colonies. His offer was declined.

This document outlines financial and legal consequences for a condemned individual (referred to as den gevangene, "the prisoner") related to slavery and fraud. The following points summarize the key details:

• A total of 258 guilders was paid to redeem a gun that the prisoner had to surrender in Conlant after murdering an enslaved person named bandoeke.
• An additional 210 guilders was required to compensate or reimburse what the prisoner had to pay to others, or to settle debts related to 6 enslaved individuals who had escaped.
• A payment of 258 guilders was made to Nachoda Jntie topalla, a local leader, to reimburse excess taxes he had paid on goods he brought in, under false pretenses of concealment, totaling 3,296 guilders, 4 stuivers, and 4 pennies.
• Funds from the prisoner's already seized money would be used to free enslaved individuals who were illegally sold by the prisoner. This includes those still alive who could be located, excluding those already deceased or missing for over 3 years.
• Specifically, 2 free individuals, a man and a woman named ourij serrij and lasanua, were sold by the prisoner in Banjar according to his confession (document No. 20).
• Two other individuals, lackahana and lackalassa, were also mentioned as enslaved people sold by the prisoner.

The document emphasizes that these enslaved individuals should be freed without further compensation, redemption, or restitution, as explicitly stated.

This document outlines financial claims against an unnamed prisoner (referred to as de gevangene) by various individuals, likely in a colonial Dutch legal context. The summary of the claims is as follows:

• Tosmas demanded compensation of 10 rixdollars (half of the total 20 rixdollars) that was taken from him by officials under the gevangene and the gewestelijke zandhaar (local authority). The money was seized under the false claim that Tosmas was traveling to Cayeli (Caijebij) instead of his stated destination. The remaining 10 rixdollars were still owed to him.
• Tosmas also sought reimbursement for goods taken by the gevangene, who falsely accused him of planning to enslave people. Additionally, a debt for rice consumed but left unpaid by the gevangene was mentioned.
• Nachoda Tojana (likely a ship captain or leader) claimed restitution for money forcibly taken by the gevangene when Nachoda Tojana arrived with a proper company pass from Bulo Bulo but was accused of lying about his destination.
• A total of 2437 rixdollars, 46 stuivers, and 30 duiten was recorded as a combined transport-related debt owed by the gevangene.
• Nachoda Toa-Samila demanded 160 rixdollars for goods wrongfully seized by the gevangene upon returning from Java, under false pretenses of commercial debts and threats of imprisonment.
• Anga Assan sought payment for half a corgie (a type of measure) of Passir mats that the gevangene used but did not pay for.
• The free Zangaresse woman Lasara (or her parents) claimed compensation for money extorted by the gevangene, who had falsely enslaved her.
• The Malay scribes Boemi Pavisie (alias Intie Dienab) and Boemi Zerkilo, both Domponese (likely from Dompo, a region in Indonesia), were owed 75 rixdollars by the gevangene.
• A final transport-related debt of 2938 rixdollars, 46 stuivers, and 6 duiten was recorded against the gevangene.

The records describe financial claims and payments involving a prisoner and several traders in the 1670s and 1680s:

• 1674: A trader named Clappus was compensated 22 guilders for a boat he bought in Banjar but was taken from him by the prisoner.
• A captain named Nachoda Tomoeman received 15 guilders after the prisoner demanded payment for a transaction involving goods transported from Batavia.
• Another captain, Nachoda Tosia=vina, was owed 476 reals and 30 stivers for transporting the prisoner from Batavia to Grisee but was never fully paid.
• The prisoner later demanded an additional 440 reals from the same captain for services related to the journey.
• In 1681, a payment of 2,179 reals and 22 stivers was made to Nachoda Josajoena for transporting a lan-alij (a type of cargo).
• The prisoner also demanded 9 reals from the company’s toll fees and 30 stivers for mats supplied to him, though only part of the amount was paid.
• A trader named Tonetta was paid 30 reals by the prisoner for a slave, though the actual value was lower.
• Nachoda Lapalla was forced under duress (with chains) to pay the prisoner 100 reals for two gold arm rings that went unpaid.
• A final payment of 382 reals, 46 stivers, and 24 pennies was made to redeem half of a company-owned ship called Nacroda tostna.

Additional smaller amounts, such as 50 reals and 10 stivers, were also recorded in the transactions.

The government paid the following compensations to fishermen for damages caused by a prisoner (referred to as den gev:):
• For violent acts committed while seizing their boats in the first two koninginne dam (fishing areas) and the third tahalille area: 1025:12 reals.

Additional payments were made for stolen goods:
• 1 picul of Japanese rudder: 14 reals and 24.
• 2 piculs of trissen (likely a type of fishing gear): 2 reals.
• 9 reals in cash.
• 2 fine fishing nets were not compensated because they had already been returned. These goods were taken by the prisoner or his slaves under the pretense of searching for stolen items in their boats.

Payments to specific individuals:
• To the leader of the Toadiers, named Matoua: 155 reals and 10, extorted by the prisoner under the false claim of illegal trade.
• To the captain Boeloes Nachoda: 39 reals and 24.
• To Jutie Sammath, captain of Intie Cambahoe: 300 reals for 10 picols of arack (alcoholic drink) delivered by the prisoner but never paid for. The prisoner demanded this money after failing to sail from Grissee to Fianton due to monsoon winds.
• To Nachoda Togima: 40 reals for a fine wrongfully collected by the prisoner beyond the required toll fees when sailing from Banjar.
• To Nachoda Togima again: 50 reals extorted by the prisoner after his ship arrived in Batavia and had been docked for a long time.
• To Nachoda Laintangh: 50 reals.

Total transported funds for these compensations: 1674 reals, 22, and an additional 90 reals, totaling 9 reals and 29.

The text describes financial wrongdoings by an imprisoned local individual, who was found to have stolen and extorted money and goods. The following points summarize the key details:

• The Council of Justice of Batavia Castle was asked to recover the stolen goods and money, distributing them fairly to those affected.
• The prisoner had extorted money from several people, including:
• The Dutch East India Company (Compagnie), which was owed toll money amounting to rd:s 322:12 (out of a total of rd:s 775:12 that was withheld).
• An unresolved legal dispute between Bartholomeus de Groote (a senior ship officer) and the prisoner, involving goods and materials worth rd:s 453 belonging to the Company. Though the prisoner appeared to have settled this based on a decision by the Council of Police on 4 August 1702, the records were falsified to cover up the theft.
• Three free women:
  • Samma van Toradia and Alima van Patenij, each extorted for 100 rijksdaalders (total: 200 rijksdaalders).
  • Sontingh, a free Makassarese woman, extorted for 50 rijksdaalders.
• The total amount stolen and extorted was rd:s 1025:12.

The court examined evidence to conclude that the accused did not claim the remaining 300 rijksdaalders (rd:s) from a disputed sum. Instead, the accused admitted to a total of 494 rijksdaalders, as stated in Ponijs' complaint under article 3. This amount included:

• 450 rijksdaalders in two cash payments, plus the value of confiscated goods (aracq).
• An additional 40 rijksdaalders, linked to a captured enslaved person named Parnakan Moor Oumar, who testified in a criminal case that he saw the accused leave with a bag of 400 rijksdaalders from his property toward Vander Mijl.
• The remaining 50 rijksdaalders appeared to have been kept by Oumar himself.

The case also involved Jamila, the wife of Bougijs Prince Arou Theto (exiled to Ceylon), who filed a claim for 191 rijksdaalders against the accused. This claim was first brought before the Honorable Council of Police in Makassar, debated by the accused, and nearly settled by the council.

Finally, the Council of Justice of Castle Rotterdam ruled that if any assets remained after deducting the accused’s debts, half would go to the accused’s wife, and the other half would be confiscated for distribution. The record was extracted from the criminal register and signed by A. d’ Winter, secretary.

This document describes a report sent to a high-ranking official (referred to as uwel Edele Achtb: or "Your Noble Honor") regarding events in the Moluccas (part of modern-day Indonesia). Here’s a summary of the key points:

• A declaration was provided by two individuals:
  • A Pernakan (Peranakan) Chinese man named Iansenkong, who served as the nachoda (ship’s captain).
  • A man from Ternate named Hamisie, who served as the matra (mate or assistant).
  Both were aboard a two-masted chialoup (small ship) owned by Feit Landouw, a Ternate citizen and lieutenant captain. The ship was sent to Salwatti (likely Salawati Island) to investigate attacks by Papoens (Papuans) on Obij (likely Obi Island), where a group of "extirpators" (likely raiders or attackers) had been active.
• The report includes details of the crew’s experiences and other events related to the raids, which will be clear to Your Noble Honor from the statements provided.
• Additionally, the document mentions that a notorious fugitive, the self-proclaimed ruler Lokman (also known as Witna or Killeloehoe), fled from the village of Killeloehoe in Kefing (likely Kei Islands) to Salwatti upon hearing rumors of an approaching military expedition from Ternate.
• During his brief stay in Killeloehoe, Lokman tried to persuade the people of Ceram (likely Seram Island), Goram (likely Gorom Island), Kei, and other places to join his cause. His goal was to bring them under the control of the exiled Tidore prince, Noekoe, whose growing influence in the region was seen as increasingly dangerous.
• The writer expresses hope that Your Noble Honor, with the support of Ternate’s ruler, will take timely and cautious measures to address this threat.

In 1668, a tense situation arose that required the attention of the government. A landowner named G. Lebret, who owned property in Pavoeroewan, submitted a formal request to the authorities. His complaint focused on ongoing disputes over the boundaries of his estate, Hedaureng. Key points of the situation included:

• A map of the estate had been created in 1610 by the government surveyor D. Landouw, which Lebret believed supported his claims.
• Previous conflicts had been settled through negotiations between the district officer and the landowners, but recent attempts had failed to reach an agreement.
• On the day before the complaint, tenants from the estate were summoned before the Regent of Saeveroewan without clarification on whether they were witnesses or accused parties.
• The statements taken from them did not accurately reflect their opinions, according to Lebret.
• Lebret accused the government of unjustly using the lands of Vectauweng for its own benefit, contrary to the estate’s documented boundaries.

The request urged the Governor-General to intervene, suggesting that an impartial official should investigate the matter instead of the Resident of Saeveroewan, who was seen as biased. The document was signed by the Government Secretary, Hil. Asschrefft, and marked with the reference number 683.
