Bio Notes: Nothing is yet known of Charles James Halley, but his style suggests that, like James Mitchell White Halley, he was articled to Thomson & Sandilands. He may have been related to the Halleys of Halley's Industrial Motors Ltd, Yoker which was in business from 1906 to 27 and its predecessor firm the Glasgow Motor Lorry Co, in business between 1903 and 1906. Hamilton Neil joined Halley as assistant c.1905, becoming his partner in 1906. They practised in Glasgow and Clydebank. Although the practice survived the Finance Act of 1909 and flourished as late as 1912, the partnership was dissolved on 31 May 1914. Halley thereafter practised from 248 West George Street, while Neil retained the office in St Vincent Street.
