Election of guardian to take a grant of letters of administration for the estate of Kway Kong Lye

This is a document issued in October 1877 calling for the election of a guardian to take a grant for the letters of administration for the estate of the deceased Kway Kong Lye. 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.
