This is a memo of the appointment of a solicitor for the defendant Veeyena Rana Payna Reena Moona Mootoocurpra Chitty issued on 14 February 1887. 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.
