    Notes:

    Mr. Moorhouse is of Irish parentage, born on board a boat on the River St. Lawrence, July 14th 1819; brought up in Elizabethtown; carried on the business of milling in its several branches; and has followed that business, either in whole or in paart - either by himself, or in partnership  with others - at Farmersville, at Smith's Falls, and finally at Adamsville, or Glen Tay, where he ultimately became proprietor of the mills once owned by the Adams familly. His residence, however, has been now for some years in the town of Perth, wher he has property and holds several municipal offices.

    Court:
    Moorhouse vs. Molleur.
    Watson, Q.C., and C. McIntosh for plff., and Greig & Jamieson for defts. County of Lanark Assizes, Judge Rose.

    The plaintiff in this action formerly carried on a woollen business at Glen Tay, and on the 4th April last entered into a contract with the defendant for the sale to him of certain machinery in the said mill for the sum of $5,500; the machinery to be delivered by the plaintiff at the Perth station. The plaintiff undertook the packing of the machinery and the defendant sent a man to oversee such packing. In the course of removal from the mill to the station of the machinery one of the cylinders fell from the waggon to the ground and was badly damaged. Teh defendant on the 5th of may paid the plaintiff $4400 on account of the purchase, retaining $1100 until the cylinder was repaired by plaintiff. When the machinery reached St. John, the place of business of defendant, he complained that it had been damaged in removal and claimed forom the plaintiff a sum somewhat in excess of the amount retained by him as compensation for such damages. The action was accordingly  brought by the plaintiff to recover $1100 balance of the purchase money less $23.75 amount apid by defendant for certain repairs of the cylinder. The defendant counter claimed for damages caused to the machinery by improper packing and for loss of profit in his business through delay in repairing cylinder.
    Judgment was given for plaintiff for amount claimed, with costs of suit, loss $50 allowed the defendant on his counterclaim, with $25.00 for costs.
    Watson. Q.C., and Rogers & Stewart for plaintiff, and Belcourt, Q.C., for defendant.

Their children were Minnie (Mrs. Davis); Lucy (Mrs. Ward), deceased; Maggie, Anna, and Henrietta (Mrs. Sabiston). Deceased was a brother of Mr John Moorhouse, Glen Buell.
