Scope and content
A document regarding the proceedings of a provisional case involving Prince Vincent and Company, and Lazarus Rapeport (Plaintiffs ) versus Moses Landau (defendant). This case was held in the Supreme Court of the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Town with representation by the law firm Tredgold, McIntyre and Bisset. Moses Landau was listed as a shop keeper (retail mercantile business) in Calitzdorp. A request was made to the court that Moses Landau’s estate be sequestrated, as he was indebted to the company for the sum of £66 for goods sold and delivered to him. He in turn was indebted to Lazarus Rappeport for the sum of £500 which consisted of £70 cash lent and £430 made up of promissory notes for which Lazarus Rappeport had signed surety and was co-principal debtor for the defendant. Lazarus Rappeport and Moses Landau were brother in laws and they had applied together for naturalisation in 1888. They were married to sisters, Rose Rappeport (nee Kabaker) and Rebecca Leah Landau (nee Kabaker). The Landau family left South Africa for the USA in 1900 and Rose Rappeport and her three children left South Africa for the USA in 1909. Rebecca Landau returned to South Africa and died in Johannesburg in 1941. In this document the surname of Lazarus Rappeport is spelt as Rapeport.
