Description
Multiple contemporaneous papers (Jan 7–8, 1876) report Easton & Milne suspended and closed their doors on Jan 7; articles state a statement to creditors will be made next week and give no indication of reopening. No explicit run is described (only 'some excitement'), so this is classified as a suspension that appears to be a failure/closure.
