Administration bond of Mohamed Ali bin Kadersah, Mohamed Abdulkader, Mohamed Ali Abdulkami, and Mohamed Kami

This is the administration bond of Mohamed Ali bin Kadersah, Mohamed Abdulkader, Mohamed Ali Abdulkami, and Mohamed Kami made on 8 February 1871 concerning the administration of the estate of Shakappa Kadarsah. 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.
