This is a citation issued on 4 February 1862 to the next of kin of Inchy Wyhed requesting that they accept or refuse the letters of administration for the estate of the deceased. 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.
