Info about Alex. S Petrie?

[Chris Scott]

The listing below (Anglo American Times 28 August 1869) shows Tumblety among a groups of Americans registered in London at the office of Alex. S Pterie and Co
Does anyone know anything about this company?

[The Grave Maurice]

The company is mentioned briefly in Riordan's Prince of Quacks, on p. 131:

Tumblety paid $80 for a ticket from New York to Liverpool. Prior to his departure, he secured a line of credit from Williams & Guion drawn on the London firm of A.S. Petrie & Son.

Chris,

Is this a case of, when an American comes to live in England for an extended amount of time, they must register? If so, is this merely the location Tumblety registered at?
