Biography
Librecht Jan Temminck was born in Amsterdam to Adriaan Matthijs Temminck and Petronella Cornelia Hooreman. He was baptised on 28 January 1781 in the Noorderkerk in Amsterdam.[1]
Temminck married Maria Jacoba Suerdfeger in Hasselt, Overijssel on 19 September 1802, with whom he had at least eight children. By 1812, the family was living in Kampen, where Temminck was a police commissioner.[2][3][4] For some reason he joined the Dutch colonial administration on the Gold Coast in the early 1820s. After commander Friedrich Last went on European leave on 11 January 1823, Temminck succeeded him as acting commander. Temminck served until Willem Poolman arrived to succeed him.[5]
Temminck seems to have continued his career in the Dutch East Indies. In June 1830, he was made president of the orphans' court in Semarang, after having previously served as head commissioner of police in Batavia.[6] In 1837, Temminck was indicted for "theft of the nation's wealth" by the procurator fiscal at the Council of Justice in Semarang. He was sentenced to a high fine and banishment from the Dutch East Indies on 2 June 1837. On appeal, the Supreme Court of the Dutch East Indies left the fine in place, but instead of banishing Temminck from the Dutch East Indies, the court sentenced him to five years imprisonment.[7]
