THE GREAT ABERDEEN BANKRUPTCY
CAM

The business of land stewards and solicitors carried
on by the bankrupts (J. 8: A. Blaikie) was a very
lucrative one—the net annual profits generally reaching
£4,000. Mr. Anthony Blaikie, the junior partner, has
been examined before the county judge in bankruptcy.

concern. At that tinae the book showed Mr. John
Blaikie, the senter partner, to be due the concern
£3,066. There was no free oapital to carry it on.
The balance against the senior partner went on increasing
continuously each year, with only one exception. In 1856
the; balance against John, according to the books, was
£43,357, which, of course, was money due to the clients
of the firm. Anthony did not always see the balance
sheets, and only learned the result from a thirclparty, and

against John at that time has now been ascertained to
have been about £70,000. skill continued to dabble

were then Obt;,ired to the extent of £16,500. Some of
