them. That no force should be sent by either nation to go and molest, 

 attack or disturb Pe'rak. The English engaged not to allow the state 

 of Salangore to attack or disturb P4rak ; and the Siamese, in turn, 

 engaged not to go and attack or disturb Salangore. 



The Siamese also stipulated in this treaty, that the present ex-king 

 of Quedah should not be permitted to live at Prince of Wales' Island 

 or Prye, or in Perak, Salangore, or any Burmese country. 



Sri'mena'nti. 

 Srimendnti, though formerly considered as subordinate to Johdle, 

 asserts her independence, and has tacitly assumed a place among the 

 four elective states, though her claims are not distinctly recognized. 

 The Panghulus of Srimenanti, not being descended from the nine to 

 whom titles were given by the Sultan of Johdre, assumed by the 

 sanction of the Panghdld of Johdle, that of Setia Maharaja. Since 

 this, seven Panghdlds have ruled in Srimenanti, the six last of whom 

 were Naham, Jallam, Allam, Pompom, Talltin, and Tdlib. 



Raja Radin, one of the sons of the fourth Menangkdbdwe prince, 

 Singang Laut, assumed similar powers to those exercised by the 

 Eang depertuan mdda of Rumbdwe i i this state, which he still retains, 

 though now opposed by another candidate from Menangkdbdwe. 



There are twelve Sukus over the twelve tribes in Srimenanti ; their 

 names with their titles are as follows : 



Amin, Baginda Mahdrdja, Olciy, Sendra Mtida, Molay, Mahdrdja ; 

 Manti, Paduka besdr ; Lattih, Orang kaia bongsu ; Arrih, Sempdrna 

 Maharaja ; Lesdh Sendra kaia ; Aggah, Sri Mahdrdja ; Eytut, Orang 

 kaia kechil ; Bandin, Sendra Angksa ; Si Main, Mahdrdja Lelah ; and 

 Rejab, Perdana. 



The names of the twelve tribes are, Sri Lummah Pahang, Sri Lum- 

 mah Menangkdbdwe, Battu Ampar, Tannah Dattar, Sa Meldngan, Tiga 

 battu, Payakumba, Muncul, Anak Achi, Battu Balang, Tiga Nenik, and 

 Bddoanda Jacoon. 



Srimendnti is the place of residence, burial, and contains the Astdna 

 of the princes deputed from Menangkdbdwe. 



It is bounded on the north by Jhompdle ; towards the south by 

 Ulu Muar and Rumbdwe, (from which it is separated by the moun- 

 tains of Lepat Cajang and Gunong tujoh ;) to the east its boundary 

 with Johdle is the hill of Bukit Pecla ; and to the west the Paro 

 stream and Terdclu divide it from Sdngie-ujong. The extent of 

 Srimendnti is supposed to be about equal to that of Rumbdwe : its 

 population is estimated at 8,000. The principal villages are those 

 of Srimendnti Pinang, Saribu Peela, Pdndok Passer, and Terdchi ; the
