Account of the profits from 24 January 1887 to 11 February 1888

This is an account of the profits from 24 January 1888 to 11 February 1888, concerning the suit between Tay Siew Teaw and others (plaintiffs) and Chea Geak Koon and Taw Sock Unn (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.
