This is the declaration of Chan Choon Seck, a clerk to Sission & Delay, made on 17 July 1908 concerning the admission of Howell Dawson Mundell as a solicitor and advocate to the Supreme Court of the Straits Settlements. 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.
