This is the administration bond of Ahmah Choona Raman Chitty, Yana Kama Karper Chitty, Vana Mootapa Chitty, and Ahmah Panah Anah Meyappa Chitty made on 24 September 1866 concerning the administration of the estate of Ahmah Choona Meyappah Chitty. 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.
