This is the administration bond of Tan Cheo Neo, Chan Ang Seng, and Chan Boon Yeow made on 31 October 1853 concerning the estate of the deceased Chan Boon Kek. 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.
