On 28 November 1881, R. Van Diez served as prison warden at Macassar, where he reported having no native military prisoners. The document includes details about prison food rations, specifying portions of beef, chicken, dried meat, rice, salt, vegetables, dried fish, peppers, and petroleum. Fresh beef could be substituted with fresh fish or two salted eggs, but no more than once every four days.
On May 7, 1884, Johan Stormer, an Assistant Resident, appeared before a Justice Officer in Batavia while staying temporarily in Meester Cornelis. He was questioned about Carpenter, a ship captain who was arrested. Carpenter's ship arrived in Batjan harbor carrying rice, petroleum, and other goods. A letter was presented to a Christian village quarter master who spoke Dutch well. Stormer visited Carpenter's vessel, which he believed was a whaler, though Carpenter claimed it carried different cargo. The ship apparently left Batjan for Ambon without proper exit documentation.
