This is the renunciation of Jovian, Baboo, and Katija filed on 1 May 1876 concerning the administration of the estate of the deceased Kader Bucas. Jovian, Baboo, and Katija renounced their rights to the letters of administration for the estate of the deceased in favor of Abdulrahman of Singapore. This document 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.
