These are the petition and the warrant to act concerning the estate of the deceased Goh Tooah Tee. The warrant to act was issued on 14 September 1865 by the petitioner, Goh Soon Ann. These documents are 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.
