This is an oath sworn by Ravena Mana Ahma Roona Ahma Roona Aruasellmu Chitty on 29 October 1888, who was one of the defendants in the case between Woona Slayman Janor and others (plaintiffs) and Mohamed Allie and others (defendants). 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.
