Stuart Herriot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herriot wrote a petition of Chung Keng Quee & 44 Others, street names and a book.[4]
Stuart Herriot had been in partnership with a George Stuart, probably a relative of his mother, as Stuart & Company, merchants & agents. This must have failed. In 1850 the Court of Directors of the East India Company discharged Herriot's insolvency. The London Gazette Issue 21149 published on 1 November 1850. Page 3 of 30 carried the following notice:
East India-House, 30 October 1850.
THE Court of Directors of the East India I Company hereby give notice, that they have received a Calcutta Gazette, containing the undermentioned notice, filed in the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors at Prince of Wales' Island, by Insolvent applying for his discharge, under the provisions of the 11th Victoria, cap. 21 :
