This is the admissions certificate of Walter Edgar Demuth issued by the Honorable Society of Inner Temple on 6 September 1920. Demuth was admitted to the Society on 10 December 1902 and called to the Bar by the same society on 19 November 1906. 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.
