Summons in Chambers concerning the suit between Alhia Tiga Oosman Lambert, Theodore Sohst, Wee Boon Keat, and Wee Hum Bong

These are the summons in chambers issued on 26 August 1889 concerning the suit between Alhia Tiga Oosman Lambert and Theodore Sohst (plaintiffs) and Wee Boon Keat and Wee Hum Bong (defendants). 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.
