This is a document filed on 23 November 1883 concerning the suit between Syed Junied bin Omar Aljunied and J.R. Belilios of Singapore. It details an order moved by Mr Braddell, the solicitor for the plaintiff, for accounts to be taken of the partnership dealings between the plaintiff and the defendant under section 102 of the Civil Procedure Ordinance 1878. 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.
