These are the interrogatories by the defendant for the examination of the plaintiffs filed on 4 December 1888 concerning the suit between Jomail bin Saroosah, Inadimasah Inarican, and Imana Noordin (plaintiffs) and Hadji Ismail bin Kassim (defendant). They 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.
