Brother vs Brother

In April 1872, Cheang Hong Lim, Wee Bock Seng, Low Thuan Locke and Tan Beng Chie were brought to the courts on the indictment for the forgery of the will of Mr. Cheang Sam Teo (the father of Cheang Hong Lim and Cheang Hong Guan). The charge was made by Cheang Hong Guan who claimed that his father's signature was forged by superimposing the signature on the will. The case lasted five days but due to lack of credible witnesses, the Chief Justice dismissed this case and set Cheang Hong Lim, Wee Bock Seng, Low Thuan Locke and Tan Beng Chie freed and Cheang Hong Guan committed to jail.

On May 21, 1897 a banquet was organised by the Chinese Community to celebrate Cheang Hong Lim's acquittal.
