This is a letter dated 22 January 1931 from the Registrar of the Supreme Court, Penang to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, Singapore concerning the petition of Frederick George Fooley. 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.
