This is a document filed on 9 May 1885 concerning the suit between Mahomed Salleh Eusoff Angullia (plaintiff) and Sayed Abdool Cader bin Abdool Reheman Alsagoff (defendant). It states that final judgement was entered for the plaintiff against the defendant as the defendant failed to respond to the writ of summons. 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.
