A large bundle of around 200 sheets dating from 1909 to 1911 regarding a dispute about demurrage (who pays for the trucks on the sidings after they have been delivered but before they have been unloaded) between traders and Scottish railway companies.

These all came from a deed box from the company of William Dixon Ironfounders of Glasgow, who also owned collieries and brickworks.

Railway companies involved include:

Caledonian Railway

North British Railway

Glasgow and Paisley Joint

Glasgow and South West

This lot includes:

5 court orders/ draft orders.

Approx. 10 bundles of minutes of meetings between joint representatives of various companies (generally ironmongers) and representatives of the railway.

2 bill posters giving notice of termination of workers contracts within 14 days.

A large pile setting out the proposals of what to charge after, for example, a truck has been sitting in the siding waiting for a few days to be unloaded.

Details of how to pay for the court case resulting in a levy of one tenth of a penny per tonne per colliery member (W. Dixon’s output for 1908 was 8991170 tonnes).

We have an additional listing relating to similar cases.

Obviously these are over 100 years old, but have been carefully stored in bundles. All are folded, some are a bit grubby and there will be the odd tear here and there. Please have a good look at the pictures and please ask if you have any queries.
