This is a testimonial for John Cecil Rash issued on 19 November 1921 by Prickett and Ellis. It concerned Rash's petition for admission as a solicitor and advocate to the Supreme Court of the Straits Settlements. 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.
