Writ of Summons issued to Tan Keng Cheow and Chop Kim Hup

This is a writ of summons issued on 22 October 1889 to Tan Keng Cheow and Chop Kim Hup, the defendants in the suit against the plaintiff, Moona Roona Kana Veerappa Chitty. 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.
