This is the administration bond of Soopramania Padayachee, Samassa, and Mahalla issued on 24 February 1857 in relation to the administration of the goods of Pakeree Padayachee. 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.
