Document giving information about a sagu plantation in Lingga [23 Rabiulawal 1329-12 Jumadilakhir 1330]

Handwritten text on page 1 and 3, ink has blotted which makes the writing difficult to read. It seems to be a document about the ownership and yields of a sagu plantation ($100) issued by the mahkamah (court of justice) in Lingga after the Dutch had abolished the sultanate. There is a small red square seal of registration on page 1 in the top right-hand margin which we also find in (Daik Museum 04_002). There is also the mention of ‘nombor 35’ indicating that it was part of the court’s administration. There are three signatures and one fingerprint at the bottom of the document. Page 3 has a few lines of writing which may have been the beginning of another deed which was never finished.
