This is a letter dated 4 November 1931 from the Registrar of the Supreme Court, Singapore to the Registrars of the Supreme Courts of Penang and Malacca concerning the entry of William Horace Salt's name into the Roll of Solicitors. 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.
