In December 1872, James McPherson and his son John McPherson, partners in the shipbuilding company James McPherson and Son, of Perth, had their estates sequestered. This was reported in the Edinburgh Gazette of the time.
The trustee appointed was Alexander Tosh, an Accountant of Dundee, and an examination of these two was to have taken place in the Sheriff Court House, Perth, on 21st December 1872. The creditors were then invited to meet in the Solicitor’s Library, County Buildings, Perth, on 30th December 1872, presumably to discuss the outcome of the earlier meeting.
My question is, is it likely that any records still exist of either of these meetings and where could they be accessed as I would very much like to learn the details of this bankruptcy?
