This is a document dated 16 December 1880 detailing the employment of Rudolph Lambert by Seow Ang Hee. It concerns the suit between Seow (plaintiff) and Lambert (defendant). 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.
