Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / Appears in 'Hikayat Siti Mariah', written late 1800's - early 1900s
Indonesian term or phrase: Raad Sambang
Sentence: "Dalam bulan Maret tahun 1855, Raad Sambang {51}menjatuhkan vonis: Wongsodrono dihukum gantung sampai mati."

I suspect that 'Raad Sambang' refers to a local council or court that dispenses summary justice, rather than an official court. Your advice is appreciated.
