This is the petition of Richard Page for admission as a solicitor and an advocate of the Supreme Court of the Straits Settlements filed on 16 April 1910. 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.
