Letter from the staff of the Supreme Court to Sir Walter Sidney Shaw

This is a letter from the staff of the Supreme Court of the Straits Settlements to Sir Walter Sidney Shaw, the Chief Justice of the Straits Settlements. The letter conveys the well wishes of the staff to Shaw, who was due for retirement at the time of writing. 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.
