It is believed that those measures could never be efficient unless exceptions were allowed, and upon which, by resolution of 4th February 1817, licenses were permitted to be granted for gambling during the Chinese New Year and upon arrival of their junks, for which payment of $15 per diem was stipulated, to the benefit of the firm. At Batavia, in 1816, the right to gamble was not, according to resolution of 20th December 1815, formed. This was reworked again on 20th November 1816, and regulations were made for granting licenses instead, upon the conditions stated above.
In 1829, farming was again resorted to for Batavia (resolution 7th December 1829), upon the consideration, among others, that the farmers themselves would most effectually prevent illicit gambling, and at the same time, the conditions were stipulated which were introduced the year after in Semarang and Surabaya, and revised in 1881, since when alterations have been made.
Concerning the circumstances and the dates of introduction of the farming system in other Netherlands India possessions, no certain information could be found. Very likely, the views entertained upon the subject in Java and Madura have been followed elsewhere in Java.
