This is the memorandum of appearance for the defendant Low Jim Inn filed on 5 October 1886. It concerns the suit between Yeo Kim Tee (plaintiff) and George Dabrymple Gordon and others (defendants). 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.
