The talk of the town incident happened on 15 April 1872, when Cheang Hong Lim, Wee Bock Seng, Low Thuan Locke and Tan Beng Chie was called to court before the Chief Justice, Sir Thomas Sidgreaves on an indictment for the forgery of the will of Cheang Sam Teo (the father of Cheang Hong Lim and Cheang Hong Guan). What was shocking was the charge was made by Cheang Hong Guan. The forgery was alleged by the prosecutor to have been effected by inking over an old signature of the testator with Chinese ink, taking a negative from it on a piece of paper, and after putting fresh ink on the negative, making an impression from it on the will. The only evidence led as to the alleged forgery was the statement of Cheang Hong Guan and the signature on the will and a power of attorney executed by the late Cheang Sam Teo. The trial lasted 5 days and due to lack and discrepancies of evidence, they were found not guilty of the crime and allowed to leave the Court without a stain on their character. A banquet was given on 21 May 1872 to Cheang Hong Lim by the chinese community in honor of his acquittal.
