10. At the suggestion of the Resident the Regent in Council directs that the new Settlement at Telok Ma' Hitam is to be known as 'Telok Anson', in compliment to General Anson, who drew the first plan of the town and took great interest in its removal from Durian Sebatang. The name Telok Ma' Hitam has also been found inconveniently long.
