The Aberdeen Cobblers stopped their dinner in 1792, thinking 
the money would be better spent for the support of the poor of 
the trade and only allowed 10s. for what they called “ incidents”

Although Mr. Tanner was ejected from office no successor or 
substitute was appointed to discharge the duties during the rest 
of the year, and he continued a member of the company until 
1704, by which time he had been a freeman for 40 years.

Whether they ever possessed any building specially devoted to- 
such a purpose as a Hall, as did the London and many country 
companies is very doubtful. No rent or repairs are mentioned, 
and the preceding memorandum would appear to prove they did 
not possess one, especially as we learn that on 13th March, 1769,.
