J. Gray Buchanan

J. Gray Buchanan

President of the Hornsey Central Hospital in 1924.

From St Andrew's Law Journal, concerning "The criminal prosecution in 1914 of two Glasgow businessmen, Messrs Hetherington and Wilson of William Jacks and Company was for a breach of wartime legislation concerning trade with the enemy" ... "There were several companies with identical names: Bonar Law seems to have been involved most closely with William Jacks and Company in Glasgow: the firm known as William Jacks and Company in London was an entirely different firm, albeit with identical origins. The Glasgow firm was founded by William Jacks and Bonar Law, while the London firm was founded by William Jacks and Andrew Bonar Law along with J. Gray Buchanan. By 1915, no partner in the firm of William Jacks and Company in Glasgow had any interest direct or indirect in the London firm, and vice versa. On Bonar Law’s entry into politics in 1901, he “severed his connection entirely” with both firms, and after the death of William Jacks in 1907 there was no connection even indirectly between the two firms."
