This is a request made on 17 November 1921 from Allen and Gledhill to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, Singapore, concerning the return of the exhibits named in Everard William Willett's petition and declaration. 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.
