These are the summons in chambers concerning the suit between Cheena Vienna Pana Ravena Mana Raman Chitty (plaintiff) and Wuing Huin Bong (defendant). It was filed by E Koek, the solicitor for the plaintiff, on 19 September 1888. 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.
