      Bengkulu (also known as Southwest Sumatra) is a province of Indonesia. It is on the southwest coast of the island of Sumatra, and borders the provinces of West Sumatra, Jambi, South Sumatra and Lampung. The capital and largest city is Bengkulu city. It was formerly the site of a British garrison, which they called Bencoolen. The province also includes Enggano Island. The province had a population of 1,567,432 at the 2000 census., rising to 875.663 males and 837.730 females recorded in the 2010 census The British East India Company established a pepper-trading center and garrison at Bengkulu (Bencoolen) in 1685. In 1714 the British built Fort Marlborough in the city which still stands. The trading post was never financially profitable for the British, hampered by a location Europeans found unpleasant, and an inability to find sufficient pepper to buy. Despite these difficulties, the British persisted, maintaining their presence for 150 years before ceding it to the Dutch.

      Hypothecation of a ship’s cargo is called respondentia and is effected by a respondentia bond. A respondentia bond is a loan upon the mortgage or hypothecation of a ship’s cargo and generally, it is only a personal obligation on the borrower. It is not a specific lien on the goods unless there is an express stipulation in the bond. In case of loss, the loan amounts to an equitable lien on the salvage.
      The respondentia bond survives today and is used in rare cases to secure finances where other means of getting a loan have failed.
