Court Register of Bitola 1658 Source Document 1 on page 62 in Sicil no. 16 is without date, but judging by the dates of the documents preceding and following it in the same Sicil, it was composed in 1658. It includes a verdict from the judge called Ibrahim Aga and the confession of the convict named Mishe, a bandit from the village of Malovište, convicted for banditry. Following the accusation that he is “a bandit who attempted to start a rebellion in the Empire”, Mishe admitted that he was “a bandit who attacked many places and robbed them”. Since Mishe was from the village of Malovište, it is highly probable that he was of Vlach descent.
