Administrative history
In December 1869 the province of Ontario passed into law the Registration of Co-Partnerships Act. It became necessary thereafter to register partnerships of two or more persons in business. Registration was to include the full names of the partners, the name and nature of the business, and the date which the partnership was originally established.
