Aturan Sungei Ujong, 



This is the orig'in of the AYaris Sungei Ujong- in their two 

 branches, that is to say, the "Waris di Darat and the Waris di x\yer. 



A Sultan of Johor had three children — the eldest a daugh- 

 ter, the second a son, and the third a daughter. 



The eldest Princess had a son, to whom was given the title 

 of Bendahara. The Prince succeeded his father as Sultan, and
