56 ATURAN SUNGEI UJONG. 



" SO, but my children (by the Batin's daughter Ma'Seraya) and 

 "my 'anak buah' (relations on the male side) will have hence 

 " forth their separate districts. If there is ever any question 

 " that concerns the whole country, they must consult tog-ether, 

 " and not act separately. Also, the Raja, who shall be guided by 

 "jthe ' adat Temenggong,' must be from Johor." 



Then Dato' Klambu fixed the titles and dwelling places of his 

 descendants, and the Batins returned each to his own place. His 

 children were taken by the To'Batin to Pantai Layang and were 

 looked after by the Old Man (Nenek) Jenang. In course of time 

 Diito' Klambu returned to the Mercy of God Most High and 

 was buried at Rahang, and the place is named Klambu even to 

 this day. 



Penghulu Jintek married the daughter of To' Alun Tujoh,

 " the four Penghulus address him." Then the Sultan explained to 

 Penghulu Jintek how he came to transfer his suzerainty to 

 Menangkabau : " On a certain day a man came to present a
