MY LORD,
IN paragraph 3 of my Despatch, No. 80, of the 23rd of February, I informed your Lordship that I had written to the Bandahara of Pahang, requesting him not to harbour any of those implicated in the outrages in Perak. In the same letter (copy enclosed) I begged that he would not allow any of the offenders in Salangore and Sungie Ujong to enter Pahang.
2. I have not at present received an answer from the Bandahara, but it would appear from the enclosed letter of Mr. Davidson, acting Resident of Salangore, that the Bandabara is sending me an answer by sea, and that he has been acting in a very friendly manner towards the British Government.
3. In my Despatch, No. 126, of 21st March,† 1 enclosed for your Lordship's information copies of the letters which I had received from the Sultan of Tringanu and the Rajahs of Kalantan and Patani. I attribute the friendly spirit in which they are written, and the active assistance afforded to us by the Bandahara of Pahang, in a considerable measure, to the establishment of friendly relations with these Chiefs, d the time of my visit to the Eastern States of the Malay Peninsula, as reported in my Despatch, No. 212, of the 23rd July last.‡
I have, &c. (Signed) WM. F. DRUMMOND JERVÕIS.

MR. DAVIDSON to HON. THE COLONIal Secretaryțíðli: no
Klang, March 30, 1876.
I HAVE the honour to inform you that I have received a letter from the Rajah Bandahara of Pahang, in reply to one from myself, forwarding his Excellency's letter regarding fugitives from Perak seeking refuge in Pahang, in which the Rajah Bandahara, after acknowledging receipt of the Governor's letter, asks me to inform his Excellency that he will send some of his people by sea with an answer. As the Rajah Bandshara was at the time some way up the Pahang River there may be a little delay in sending the answer.
I have since received information that, after the receipt of his Excellency's letter, some of the Sri Menanti fugitives, among them the Datoh Moar, escaped into Pabang, and sent a messenger to the Bandahara requesting him to receive them at Pabang.
