ATURAN SUNGEI UJONG. 65 



day ; so Raja Mahmud returned home. 



Eaja Mahmud having" retired, the Klana sent a letter to the 

 Governor asking for assistance from Singapore. This having 

 been obtained, the war against the Bandar was renewed, and 

 not long after, the Bandar tied to Singapore and Raja Mahmud 

 with him, and both were detained there. 



After this came the war with Sri Menanti. The cause of 

 this was that when Tengku Antar became Yam Tuan of Sri 

 Menanti, the Dato' Klana refused to recognise his authority over 

 Sungei Ujong and thus incurred the Yam Tuan's displeasure. 

 He attacked Sungei Ujong, but in the end he was defeated and 

 compelled to fly, and from that time there has been no Raja over 

 Sungei Ujong. 



The Dato' Klana Say id Abdulrahmau went to Mecca on a 

 pilgrimage, and died there. He was succeeded by Dato' Leilah 

 Setia Mohammad Usuf. He, after some time, was compelled to 

 resign because he did not adhere to the ancient customs of the 

 State, and was succeeded by the Klana Mamur, who is Klana at 

 the present time. 



The following are the chiefs who, under Malay rule, were 

 entitled to share in the State revenues. The Klana and the 

 Dato' Bandar had the right to collect dues (import and export) 

 in their own markets. The Dato' Si Maraja collected at Liat. 

 The Ditto' Kanda (Laksamana) at iVmpangan. Panglima Besar at 

 Ranak, and the Waris Pantai at Sikamat. Each collected his own 

 dues. The Lmggi dues were divided into three parts, one went 

 to the Dtao' Klana, one to the Dato' Bandar, one to the Dato' 

 Muda and his Waris. The share of the latter was obtained 

 because it was the duty of Dato' Muda to collect all the Linggi 

 taxes. The poll tax of $1 a year on all Chinese went to the 

 Klana only, while the taxes on all boats went to the Dato' Ban- 

 dar only ; the tax was $3 on each boat. The Panglima Besar 

 levied taxes on the road to Lukut, 15 cents a man. The Waris 

 (di Darat and di Ayer) had a right to taxes on the produce of their 

 respective lands. 



This information relative to Sungei Ujong has been collected 

 for me by Haji Bakar, whose title is Dato' Maraja, a Lembaga
