This is the bill of costs for Mayna Cheena Allagappa Chitty on 28 September 1888, the plaintiff in the suit against the defendants H.E. Gois and W.R. Mootoo Samy Pillay. 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.
