Appeared before us the undersigned, especially appointed 

 Members of the Hon'ble Court of Justice of this Government, the 

 Portuguese Domingo s de Costa, inhabitant of this place, who has 

 pretended, and proved to us, to be the proprietor of three planta- 

 tions situated at a small distance up the river and called Cor- 

 hou, Tuallang and Mad jap ; that the said plantations have still the 

 same extent as when they were owned and holden by his deceased 

 father Joan de Costa, pursuant to a deed of purchase, dated 20th 

 May, 1734, and to a title deed, dated 6th April, 1739, and that the 

 •said plantations have been assigned and allotted to appearer as 

 co-heir of his deceased father Joan de Costa, and as heir of the late 

 Innocentia de Costa his sister, according to a deed of liquidation 

 of the succession, passed before the Sworn Chief Clerk of the Police 

 €ourt and two witnesses on 8th July inst. 



The possession of the said plantations being legal and legiti- 

 mate, the appearer is consequently entitled to sell and alienate the 

 three plantations aforesaid as he thinks best. 



And in order to be able to prove his lawful right, where and 

 whenever he may want to do so and to exempt himself and guarantee 

 that all is as it ought to be according to the Law, this deed has been 

 granted to him. 



In witness whereof We the especially appointed Committee 

 have hereuuto set our hands and have confirmed it with the seal 

 of this town. 



Thus done and passed in the Portress of Malacca at the date 

 above written.
