On October 18, 1744, a meeting took place in Macassar regarding territorial disputes. The prince of Tanette was summoned to Oedjong Pandang to account for matters concerning the crown of Boni. After a friendly departure, the commissioners brought with them the alleged thieves of Bonian goods. When questioned about the seized paddy fields and people in the district of Sageri, the prince of Tanette openly admitted he had done this in retaliation because:
The prince was willing to hand over the people but requested to be excused from returning the paddy fields to the Boni court. The commissioners hoped to resolve this matter completely once the prince and other accused persons returned to the castle, especially since the Bonians had already appeared shortly after the commissioners' return to inquire about the proceedings. The matter was explained to them in friendly terms, with the hope that their handling of the situation would be approved, as it was necessary to keep weapons out of the field and to buy time until Arou Tanette's arrival.
