Esson £1300 John Clark £1100 John Brown £375 &c &c - it was thought at the time of the meeting of the Creditors - that 6/8 might be divided - but since the sale of their stock, they cannot expect half that dividend. It is plainly said many old houses must close - Carritt, Lockyer & among the rest B & Hartshorne...Tom Morris Neal, John Grant, W. A. Flieger & the West's are among the &c. about to Close.
