This is a letter to the Registrars of the Supreme Court of the Straits Settlements in Penang and Malacca dated 29 March 1935. It states that Charles Valentine Miles and John Christopher Cobbett of Messrs Rodyk and Davidson were appointed as Commissioners for Oaths for Singapore. 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.
