This is a document dated 14 May 1888 concerning the suit between Moona Kader Meydin Saikoo and Paveyna Sheena Mereean, executors of the estate of Moona Mahomed Eusofe (plaintiff), and Seema Peechay Gumuy (defendant) and others. 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.
