This is a document dated 3 November 1887 concerning the suit between Hajee Hassan Dawood and others (plaintiffs) and Syed Omer bin Abdoolla Aljunied and Syed Ahmed bin Abdoolla Al Edroose (defendants). It states that final judgement was entered for the plaintiffs against the defendant Syed Omer for $1000 and $17.31 for interests and costs to be taxed. 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.
