Description

As part of the restrictive legislation in place for Chinese, Sing Yu Wu paid the £100 Poll Tax, and was issued his Certificate in Wellington on 2 October 1923. The image of him comes from the stub of his certificate (see the collection here: archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewEntity.do?code=8836).
