Administrative history
The firm of Browne & Harty, wholesale grocers of Kingston, was formed by the partnership of James Browne and James Harty sometime before 1851. The business is first listed on the corner of King and Clarence Streets and indicates that they were also importers. In 1857 they are listed as "wholesale and retail dry goods, grocery and spirit merchants" with establishments on Ontario Street and Market Square. The business was in operation until 1872.
Custodial history
This sous-fonds forms part of the Kirkpatrick-Nickle legal collection. The documents came from the law firm of Nickle and Nickle, which was founded by Thomas Kirkpatrick in 1828, and which continued under various names (Kirkpatrick Nickle) and with various partners until 1968. The Browne and Harty papers were deposited, along with the papers of other clients of the firm, in Queen's University Archives during the 1960's.
Scope and content
The sous-fonds was comprised of documents brought together as a result of the law suit of Browne v. Dollard in Chancery, 1872, which involved the winding up of the partnership. Included are business papers, business correspondence regarding land lots, and a number of land documents involving various land lots in the Kingston area.
