This is a registrar's certificate issued on 19 December 1864 by the Registry of the Court of Judicature of Prince of Wales' Island, Singapore and Malacca, Division of Singapore and Malacca, concerning the admission of John Cameron as a general agent to the Court. 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.
