This document marked "B" is the declaration of Howell Dawson Mundell made on 6 July 1908 and referred to in the affidavit of Choa Choon Sek dated 17 July 1908. 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.
