This is the petition of Syed Uwal bin Omar Sharee concerning the administration of the estate of the deceased Syed Hareen bin Omar Aljunied. Notices of the petition were filed on 27 April 1876 and the letters of administration for the estate of the deceased were granted to the petitioner on 31 May 1876. 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.
