Jackson v. Alderston
Case brought by Peter Jackson of Warrington merchant and William Byrom of Liverpool glass manufacturer against John Alderson glass manufacturer and john Hay of Warrington. In 1805 Jackson, Byrom, Alderson and Samuel Brettle went into partnership as glass manufacturers (presumably at Liverpool/Warrington). In 1811 Samuel Buttle died, and Jackson, Byrom and Alderson continued the partnership. Jackson and Byrom claim to have become dissatisfied with Alderson's conduct and the partnership was dissolved in 1816. It was agreed that George Jones and Samuel Healy accountants of Liverpool would be employed to go over the books and call in the debts. Alderson is accused of having had private transactions with John Hay of Warrington, and of having used the name of the partnership to secure a promissory note with Hay without the consent of the partners. Hay has since brought an action against Jackson and Byrom in the Court of Kings Bench and they have taken out this case to stop it. Jackson, Alderson and Brettle's previous partnerships appear in 352 Davies v. Alderson.
