1835

" The instructions which we intended to furnish ManAir with being ready we intimated the tenor of the same to him and the other chiefs and they appeared to be perfectly satisfied with them which gives us every reason to hope that they would promote the lrippirie% and comfort of the people and increase the confluence of the ManikcilJowcs when the villagers of other places shall hear Naning"1 [...] they shall all be dealt with in this way." " By the disasters which had taket place at /sianing the continance of the rebellion excited by the insolent Maniktibowes and the difidence subsisting between this republic and the states of Johore the minor trade of this place has of late been decreasing the supply of all necessaries prevented and the plantations along the river-side deserted [...] When the grain is ripe a person on the part of Government visits the rice-fields attended by the owner the Panghati or Mata Matas of the village and several of the oldest inhabitants on the spot in order to agree on and assess its value. [...] But should these persons again assess the crop at a lower value than the collector's agent really thinks it worth the latter has still the resource of offering to purchase the whole of the crop on the part of Government at the price the The sovereign's right to the tenth has been from time immemorial acknoledged in Malayan states. [...] In October November and December the current to the westward of the Atoll set to the southward at the rate of 36 miles per day : the natives say that it commences about the middle of September and continues to the end of December when the easterly winds set in then turns to the westward and runs in that direction until April.
