On June 9, 1740, a letter from Macassar discusses how in May 28, 1736, a war started against the Wadjorese to drive the pirate Aroe Sinkang and his companions from the Dopie river. However, this backfired when the Wadjorese chose Aroe Sinkang as Aroi Matoiarij. After his victory over Bonij, he became so prideful that he would rather face the Company's sea forces or fight on land to the death than give up his position. The rainy season prevented sailing operations after receiving orders. The letter requests a well-equipped small ship, similar to but slightly smaller than the ship Velsen, for transporting the Company's flag around September or October. The plan was to land forces in the bay of Bonij or another suitable location and join forces with the Bonij King and nobles. Since 1730, Aroe Sinkang and his sea captain Toassa had been successful at sea, commanding about 70 ships. In 1734, they had a victory near the Mandhareese coast. This made them so confident that in 1736, they attacked islands near the castle with 38-40 ships and burned houses, without the Company achieving any advantage against them, as reported in a letter dated June 29 of that year.

On December 9, 1718, near Cape of Good Hope, Captain Pieter de Vloming encountered pirates. When ordered to surrender, he refused and invited them aboard instead. After avoiding their initial boarding attempt, pirates fired muskets, wounding the captain. They then damaged the ship's rigging with cannon fire. The crew tried to escape by hoisting the jib sail. A second pirate ship, flying a blood flag, positioned itself behind their cabin. Though wounded, Captain de Vloming saw this and called to strike the flag, but this was not done immediately. The pirates threatened to kill everyone if they fired a shot or didn't lower their flag. The crew, fearing death, called to surrender. A sailor named Jacob Cornelisz de Boer from Alkmaar lowered the flag without orders. The pirates demanded they launch their boat and come aboard, threatening cannon fire if they refused. The second narrator took the boat to the pirates, while the first narrator threw the company's main papers overboard. The captain died during this time. 23 armed pirates then boarded their ship. The pirate ship was armed with 26 cannons, 20 swivel guns, and 2 mortars in each crow's nest. It was called the "Crown Prince of Prussia," but now "the Dragon," previously captained by Jacob van der Stolk as a merchant ship from Rotterdam. It had been captured at St. Jago Island. The pirate captain was named Candon. The second ship was an English South Sea Company vessel called "the Right," with 26 cannons and 6 swivel guns, captained by Spelt.

On June 26, 1728, in Macassar, a report describes encounters with pirates. Earlier, three Buginese pirate ships belonging to the Prince of Bonij Pangawa had stolen a vessel. After continuing the journey, they found a Buginese boat in the Callent Jussoe river. Its leader, Tosoleeng, had a pass for 13 crew members to search for sea cucumbers around the islands. Due to uncertainty about whether this meant the islands of Macassar or Bonton, and because the pass bore the Governor's signature, they did not arrest him. Tosoleeng was known to be registered in the Company's passport book and had sold or given four metal guns to the Raja of that settlement.

Later, on the island of Wantjes, they found two more Buginese boats. Around these four islands, they encountered about 10 boats, mostly Buginese, loaded with rice and paddy. The crews claimed the Governor had approved their goods. Local settlements refused to seize them, claiming they had no orders from their King to do so. A letter was sent to the Governor and council in Bouton.

The report was signed by Casper Cumper on April 18, 1726 at Wantjes island, Bouton, and verified by W.G. Tenpezel, secretary of Bouton.

On April 28, 1764, Fredrik Huijsen Janszon, a bookkeeper who had been appointed as trade transferor and secretary of the orphans' chamber, requested to be released from his last-mentioned position. The council agreed to this request and appointed assistant Fredrik Hendrik Beijnon to replace him, provided he continued his service at the Trade Office. Beijnon took the oath for the orphans' chamber secretary position before the Governor.

The council decided to hold an auction of linens at the trade warehouse on May 6, which would be advertised to the public by notices. Also, surgeon Godliep Schuts, stationed at Zaleijer, had his salary increased to 20 guilders per month upon his request and time expiration, with a new three-year contract.

This was signed in Maccassar by P. Sinkelaar, E.I. Beijnon, J.B. De Lahoutemais, F.W.H. van Blijdenbergh, J.H. Voll, and J.B. Bakker, with Joseph Smoder as Secretary.

Around 5 years before 1764, the governor of Manila sent three large galleys to escort two wankangs and a galliot to collect rice from Iloilo. After arriving at Iloilo, when the galleys were returning to Manila, they were attacked by 180 pirate ships from Mangindanao. The pirates captured the ships and brought them to Mangindanao. The witness was then taken to Passir where the pirates sold him to a Chinese merchant from Samarang. When the merchant sailed to Macassar, the witness was captured at the Bugis settlement and sold.

This statement was recorded at the political secretary's office in Castle Rotterdam at Macassar on April 17, 1764. It was marked with a cross by the witness and signed by Secretary Joseph Smoder in the presence of C. Oostendorp and Jan David van Etighoffen.

On April 28, 1764, it was discovered that after being captured by Mangindanao pirates and sold to a Chinese merchant from Samarang, the witness was later captured by Bugis people and sold to the wife of Barend Jansz. She did not know he was a Christian and resident of the Spanish Manila. After learning this and becoming aware that such people could not be sold according to recently published rules, Barend Jansz showed willingness to release the person if required.

The text appears to be an alphabetical index or registry from a Dutch historical document, listing primarily names of people, ships, and locations, along with references to page numbers. Here are the key points:

• Several locations are mentioned including Borneo, Bonaire, Buitenzorg, and Middle Java.
• Important ships mentioned include the Bilderdijk and Billiton.
• The document contains references to various administrative matters in the Dutch East Indies and West Indies, including:
  • Estate and inheritance matters
  • Military libraries
  • Book thefts and related punishments
  • Butter supplies for the East Indies
  • Scientific botanical work at the Buitenzorg plant garden
• There is mention of drilling equipment for exploring coal layers in the East Indies.
• A reference appears regarding Buddha statues and bells.
• The text includes a note about fines imposed on sugar plantation owners or administrators in Middle Java.

In The Hague on March 30, 1807, officials discussed a request about a First Lieutenant of Infantry who was heading to Dutch East Indies on the ship "New Holland". The Lieutenant Kricke was assigned to military service there. The document deals with arranging a delegation of one-fifth of his salary, which would begin from the first day of the month following his arrival.

There was also correspondence between the Minister of War and officials regarding payment arrangements for Mrs. Boas (née Overeens), who appears to be a widow. The reference number of this communication was 1483, dated February 26.

This is a military record of Dutch soldiers, listing their deaths and discharges between 445 and 524. The soldiers served in the expeditionary infantry and came from various cities across the region, including Mechelen, Lillo, Gent, Ardoye, Kortrijk, Oostrijk, Ieper, Brussel, Delft, and Grimbergen.

Among the listed soldiers were:

• Martinus Devos
• Joannes De Smet
• Guillielmus Derveeuw
• Jean De Schamps
• Joannes Demooy
• Louis De Haene
• Ferdinandus De Baeuf (or De Boeuf)
• Pieter De Boot
• Charles Debree
• Dominique Desmet

The records indicate that most soldiers either died ("overl.") or were discharged ("gepassporteerd"). Some of the later entries include soldiers like Jean Joseph De Sawes from Oostrijk and Carolus Ludovicus De Bode from Vraesmunster.

Several deaths were recorded by civil servants in Amsterdam on February 15, 1950:

• Elisabeth Johanna Maria Kraamer, age 66, died on February 14, 1950 at 6:30 AM. She was the widow of Johannes Aloyoius Valkonet and daughter of Johannes Franciscus Wilhelm Kraamer and Elisabeth Christina Cornelia van Wijk. Death reported by undertaker Johannes Emmerik, age 58.
• Hendrik Adolf van Keulen, age 50, a mail carrier, died on February 13, 1950 at 5:30 PM. He was married to Francina Elselina Boogaars and was the son of Petrus Paulus van Keulen and Helena Cattarina Sjouwerman. Death reported by funeral announcer Samuel Leonard de Goede, age 65.

• Theodora Johanna Grada van Schijndel, age 77, died on February 13, 1950 at 6:08 AM. She was the widow of Hendricus Vermoolen and daughter of Johannes Ekas van Schijndel and Teodora Frederika Daamen. Death reported by funeral announcer Petrus van den Hoek, age 43.

An auction took place in Middelburg on May 7, 1847. The catalog belonged to Ernestus Petrus Frimer Jacobszoon. The auction included paintings and prints behind glass in gilded frames. Various buyers, some local and others from different cities, participated.

Key buyers included:

• Slaes from Brussels
• de Jonge
• Pak
• s' Graeuwen
• Keijzer
• Dirksen from Rotterdam
• Keyze from Amsterdam
• Sloover
• Ooms
• Labrand
• Tak
• Hazibomme

The total sale amount came to 906 guilders and 25 cents. With a 10% commission added, the final amount was 996 guilders and 87.5 cents. The sale was witnessed by Johannes Cornelis van Gelkerken, city official, and Jan de Schinkel.

On October 8, 1708, in Nagapattinam, a report was submitted about three bundles of yarn from Paliacatta that were dyed red with Tuticorin roots. The report also mentioned spoiled Persian supplies, a barrel of rooster beer, and damaged Bengali clothes that were sold at public auction on September 24.

Four requests were made by ministers on the coast:

• The first warehouse master and trade bookkeeper Petrus Denijssen and second master Isaac Sloover both requested merchant status
• The head of Datcheron, Aplonius van Noord, requested promotion in rank and wages
• The first clerk of Masulipatnam, Jeronimus van Campen, requested junior merchant salary

The document includes an invoice and bill of lading for the ship Donauw, along with an expense account. The document was signed by clerk Joannes Spits.

On November 1, 1772, a second auction office was established in Amsterdam. This document, received on March 31, 1773 by J Koevet arriving from England and certified on April 7, 1773, discusses the division of salaries and benefits for the assistants of the auction office. The document contains copies of extraordinary minutes from September 3 to October 4. These copies were made after the originals were reviewed by the Court. The Governor was notified when the copies were ready, so the originals could be properly reviewed and the copies sent in proper order. However, due to the absence of most Council members, with only two being healthy, the process was delayed. The document was addressed to the Directors of the Licensed Society of the Colony of Suriname residing in Amsterdam.

The number of commissioners at the mint in Portonovo was reduced from 4 to 2. Arnoldus Oosterharen, the garrison bookkeeper, became the salary bookkeeper at Portonovo. Balthazar van Duijn, the mint master at Palliacatta, was appointed as salary bookkeeper but had to remain at his post until next spring since it was too late to transfer him. Meanwhile, the books were managed by the transfer officer of that department. The governor had reduced the number of permanent commissioners at the mint to two, allowing the work to continue properly.

On October 18, the bookkeeper Adriaan Michielsz Goudriaan and the assistant merchant Johan Ostome arrived from Masulip. The governor had removed bookkeeper Willem van Zijll from the mint to the trade office and assistant Jan Mulder to the secretary's office. The records show profits of 59,750 guilders, 14 stuivers and 15 pennies on minted gold and gold ducats, while losses on Japanese Kobangs amounted to 54,809 guilders, 8 stuivers and 13 pennies. On August 26, ensign Ernst van Naarden died and was buried on August 28.

The text describes that in Noorden Chormandel, head officer Gerrit Westrenen requested to be relieved of his duties in Masulipatnam due to chest problems. He asked to be transferred to Batavia until he fully recovered, after which he wished to return to the homeland. The second in command, Appolonius van Noort, was considered to replace him. Instead, they chose Captain of Arms Roelof Arendsz Boots for the position, giving him the temporary title of Commanding Sergeant, pending higher approval. Boots was selected as he was the most senior and vigilant military officer.

Pieter van den Bergh, fiscal officer, and Petrus Hollebeek, warehouse master, both bookkeepers, requested to be promoted to the rank of junior merchant. They, along with van Noort, submitted their petitions. The text specifically mentions van Noort as being very useful and necessary for the Company's service, particularly due to his knowledge of customs.

Westrenen, who appears to be a senior official, had also made some kind of request that needed approval from the higher authorities.

On May 18, 1741, the Dutch East India Company's subjects departed from Macassar. The young King of Boni went to Tsjinrana Boni with his army. European soldiers traveled in local vessels while the admiral took a small boat, arriving at Solo around 7 PM.

On Thursday the 30th, the admiral left Solo and arrived at Tsjinrana Boni. On Friday the 31st, the young King of Boni came to welcome the admiral and asked if he had come to resume the conflict with the Wadjorese people. The admiral replied that this decision depended on the high officials in Batavia, to whom he would present the matter. If approved, he would request 2,000 Europeans to resolve the Wadjorese situation without outside help.

The admiral told the king it would be impossible to restore the Boni court to good standing while there were so many rulers and such division within the royal family. He would inform the government in Batavia about this, but first wanted to discuss it with the Queen of Boni upon returning to Macassar. He noted that those who contributed most to destroying the kingdom were respected, while those working to restore peace, like Arou Tanette and Arou Palacca, were persecuted.

On May 18, 1741, negotiations took place in Macassar regarding contracts with the Wadjo people. When some points were rejected, Admiral stated they would live in friendship without contracts and avoid hostilities. On Monday, May 27, Admiral sent translator Johannis Brugman to Tosora with a Bugis letter containing 5 points:

1. The Dutch East India Company would maintain peace with Wadjo
2. They would ensure the Boniers and other allies would not attack
3. Everyone would have freedom of movement
4. It would be good if Wadjo wrote to the Governor-General in Batavia about difficult articles
5. This would help restore peace and prosperity to the land

The Arung Matoa agreed to respond the next day. That evening, native military forces quietly withdrew to ships in the river. On Tuesday, May 28, Souro Latjanie, Souro Linkang and Souro Oedjong Kalakang brought Wadjo's response:

1. Wadjo had never been under Company control
2. The Company rejected the first agreement, which wasn't Wadjo's fault
3. Wadjo wanted peace but their allies wouldn't cooperate
4. They had not promised to write to Batavia

On Wednesday, May 29, at dawn, after the Soelewatang of Tanette and Lagousi said farewell to the Admiral, orders were given.

On May 18, 1741, in Macassar, there was discussion about treaties. The court of Boni refused to honor contracts made by previous kings. On February 18, 1741, the admiral sent first interpreter Jan Hendrik Vol to Tosora with several messages:

• Greetings to the Arou Matua and the council of forty kings of Wadjo
• They were pleased that Wadjo, more than Boni, wanted to maintain good friendship with the Company
• They could not leave and confirm the contract later, as this went against their country's laws and military customs
• The Company offered to mediate between Wadjo and Boni to restore their old friendship

On May 20, Arou Calacka, Arou Botto, and Arou Loa along with three common messengers appeared on behalf of the Arou Matua and forty kings of Wadjo. They refused the Company's offer to mediate, stating that Wadjo had made an old contract with Boni at Timoerong.

On May 18, 1741, in Macassar, an incident was reported about people from Wajo who refused to travel to Castle Rotterdam until unfaithful contract violators were punished. Messengers spoke to the young King, arguing that disputes between Bone and Wajo should be settled between them as brothers, without Company involvement. His Highness responded that Wajo had broken this brotherhood, which was why the Company and Bone's forces had come to Chinrana to restore order. The messengers had to return with their money unsuccessful.

The people of Wajo realized the visitors wouldn't leave easily and would visit them first. To prevent this, the people from the villages of Sinkang and Tempe released many grass rafts from the freshwater lake where the Chinrana River originates. These rafts, which could hold 8-12 or more people and were normally used for collecting wild duck eggs, floated downstream. The river became so clogged that vessels were pushed backward by the current and these floating islands, causing damage. This made it impossible to travel by boat to Tosora day after day.

On November 13, 1661, Pr. Aron Queudo, living in Amsterdam, appeared before notary Adriaen Lock and witnesses. He appointed and gave power of attorney to Ab Querido, also living there, to represent him in all current and future legal matters. This authorization allowed Ab Querido to appear before the Commissioners of Small Claims and other courts in Amsterdam, and to act on behalf of Queudo in all legal proceedings. The document was witnessed by Dirck vande Roe and Johannes Frenrix, and officially recorded by notary Adriaen Lock.

On November 26, 1514, several legal transactions took place:

• Jacob Tiebbes received 129 guilders, 16 stuivers, and 8 pennies from Jan Jorisz, who was the curator of her father's estate.
• Daniel Coppers, a citizen of the city, transferred a bill of exchange worth 65 pounds, 15 shillings, and 9 groats to Willem Vinck, a lawyer at the court.
• Diego Minges Aelmant, as husband and guardian of his wife who was an heir of Diego Dies Querido, appointed Jacob van Bollenbrch as lawyer to handle a court case and any possible appeals.
• Janneken Pieters, a 26-year-old widow of Jan Pietersz who was a tablecloth weaver, testified that about 9 years ago she received 47 guilders from Jacob Tibbes.

On October 29, 1610, several events took place in Amsterdam. Nege Dies Qverido, a Portuguese resident, appeared before notary Ralm Mathijsz. Through interpreter Manuiel Rodr Visoo, he stood as guarantor for about 6,000 hides that bailiff Huijbert Pauw had seized the previous day. The seizure was done at the request of Fransoijs Haufleur, lord of Garantle in Normandy, under orders from the Court of Holland.

On the same day, Gasper Canties, another Portuguese resident, appeared before the same notary. He stood as guarantor for Casper Fernandis, who had also been detained by bailiff Huijbert Pauw at the request of Fransoijs de Jaufleur. The guarantor agreed that Fernandis would appear before the Court of Holland when required.

The documents were witnessed by Harmen Willemsz, a staff-bearer, and Jochum van Heuwel, a court bailiff.

On May 1, 1680, Dirck Hanckelboeren brought linen to the Paradise, which was loading cargo. The ship stayed in Norway for 8-12 days before sailing to Amsterdam with the common fleet. The cost was 2,200 guilders.

Tabbert Stevensz from Offhe, aged 37, served on a boat. Reyer Claessz Keck from Amsterdam was shot with an arrow on land while serving as a captain under Hans Carpenter. He died shortly after and was buried on land.

On December 26 (year unclear), Isalcq Isaucxssz from Renuijden, aged 22, and Slbrant Maertsz, aged 19, had been drinking in Cudelstaent at the tavern of Aelsmeer. While there, they encountered Clijsbrecht, a young man from Truyswoert and another unknown man wearing white pants, a blue shirt, and a red cap. A fight broke out over previous incidents at Aelsmeer.
