Formed out of the firm of Paterson and Co. by principals George Martin, Charles Carnie and Alexander Dyce, with houses at Singapore, Batavia and Manila. The managers in 1880 included J. Y. Kennedy, who migrated to Penang and there founded Kennedy and Co.; perhaps this led to the demise of the firm, which came to an end in 1885. In the 1880’s it had held the agency for the Glen Line.
