This is a document filed on 19 November 1877 concerning the administration of the estate of the deceased Lim Gee. It was filed by Jonas Daniel Vaughan on behalf of Lim Hoi, the nephew of Lim Gee who was named as the executor in the last will of the deceased. This document 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.
