This is the administration bond of Chan Ly Hoo, Chan Ah Cheo, and Chan Loy Soon made on 27 June 1842 concerning the administration of the estate of the deceased Chan Affoo. 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.
