In 1817 Savery and a partner named Bigg took over a sugar-refinery (or sugar-bakery, as it was then called), and the first of his troubles began: the company soon began to founder and just two years later Savery was bankrupt. Seemingly undeterred, he assumed editorship of the Bristol Observer took over the business of a “West India and General Broker,” but quickly abandoned both ventures, and returned to sugar-refining in partnership with a man named Saward.
