This is an extract from the New South Wales Government Gazette 1843 detailing the appointment of George Samuel Windsor Earl as Magistrate of the Territory and its Dependencies and as Commissioner of Crown Lands at Port Essington. This document is part of a collection of legal documents from the 19th and early 20th centuries which provides a glimpse into the work of the notable personalities who left their mark on Singapore’s legal history, and the economic and other transactions undertaken by ordinary immigrants in 19th century Singapore that tell stories of misfortune and indebtedness which would otherwise have disappeared from history.
