Subpoena to Witnesses for Simon Stephens, Ong Ing Ling, and Ong Ching See

This is a subpoena to witnesses addressed to Simon Stephens, Ong Ing Ling, and Ong Ching See issued on 7 March 1842, concerning the suit between Goh Kang Hai and Chee Teang Hoi. 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.
