Is this your John Millar, of Millar & Paterson, Builders, mentioned in the Edinburgh Gazette of 26 June 1860?

ARCHIBALD WOODSIDE, Accountant in Glasgow, Trustee on the sequestrated estate of 
MILLAR & PATERSON, Builders in Hamilton, and 
John Millar, presently residing at Dunoon, and John Paterson, Mason, Hamilton, the Individual Partners of said company hereby intimates, that at a general meeting of Creditors held on 15th current, John Millar and John Paterson, as a Company, made offer of a composition of Five Shillings per pound to their Creditors on all debts due by them at the date of their sequestration, payable by equal instalments at two and four months from the date of the final acceptance of said offer; and further, they each made offer of a composition of One Penny per pound on the amount of the debts due by them as Individuals, payable two months after their final discharge, and agreed to pay to provide for the expenses attending the sequestration and remuneration to the Trustee; and offered Gavin Paterson, Calenderer, Glasgow, and Robert Barr, Portioner in Hamilton, as security for payment thereof.
