This is the administration bond of Ang Kim Cheak, Ang Siang, and Seow Teang Swee of Singapore issued on 28 November 1864 concerning the administration of the estate of Soh Guan Chuan. It 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.
