“ The See Yip Kongsee were the first to open mines at Larut, and unless set upon by others have always lived peaceably and quietly, while the Tan Siang people are robbers, and have become so in consequence of the counsel of, and their subsequent connection with, the Mantri. ”

“ Of these 3000 men, about 600 or 800, unable to obtain work or food at Penang, returned to Larut. On their arrival, the Ong Tye You Kongsee again attacked them, but the See Yip people, being on their guard, they, the Ong Tye You men, though 4000 in number, were driven back to the Mantri's house, and many of them killed. ”

“ On the 26th day of the last month His Highness the Raja Muda left the Krean for Kurou, where he found two large tongkongs belonging to the Mantri, in which were found 150 muskets, 400 bags of rice, 40 bags of gunpowder, 8 large guns, and about 150 men. ”
