This is a certificate issued by the Council of Legal Education on 24 April 1906 for Walter Edgar Demuth. It certified that Demuth satisfactorily passed an examination for the purpose of ascertaining his fitness to be called to the Bar held at Gray's Inn before Easter Term in 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.
