This is a writ of summons issued on 17 November 1886 to Tunku Mahomed Ariffin, the defendant in the suit against the plalintiff Kam Chay Tow. 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.
