Excerpt from Memoir Left by Jacob Christiaan Pielat: To His Successor, Diederik Van Domburg, 1734

The following memoir, left by Jacob Christiaan Pielat for the guidance of his successor, Diederick van Domburg, is neither one of the earliest of the series of memoirs of Dutch Governors extant, nor is it one of the largest or most comprehensive; but it may, I think, be reckoned among the more important of these documents, on account of the status and authority of the compiler, as well as of the circumstances attending his appointment to the Government. Pielat's position in Ceylon, as Special Commissioner, was higher than that of Governor. As he himself states in his Memoir, "the appointment by the Supreme Government (of India) of a Commissioner to administer the affairs of the Island was an unusual one." Only two other instances of such appointments are recorded during the Dutch occupation of Ceylon, and these occurred during the early years of their rule. Pielat's appointment in 1732 was induced by a state of affairs which required a strong head and a strong hand to cope with. From 1726 to 1729 the Island was governed by the infamous Petrus Vuyst. During his three years of misrule and tyranny, accompanied by acts of murder and treason, discipline both among the civil and the military, the administration of justice, and the smooth working of the various departments were sadly interfered with. When he was removed to Batavia, where he was tried and ignominiously executed, Stephanus Versluys was sent here with instructions to restore order and see that justice was done to the sufferers. But his rule did not give satisfaction either to the inhabitants of the country or to the authorities at Batavia. His attitude towards the officers of the Government brought about dissensions, and the Government of India had already resolved to remove him, naming the Commandeur of Galle, Diederick van Domburg, as his successor. The resistance offered to van Domburg's assumption of duties by several officers of the Government, and the necessity he was put to to appeal to Batavia, will be found referred to in the footnote to page 4.
