Biographical history
John Lang Morris was born on March 24, 1835, in Perth, Lanark County, Ontario, son of Col. Hon. William Morris (1786-1858), Receiver-General for Canada and brother of Alexander Morris (1826-1889), Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba and the Northwest Territories.
He was a lawyer. He was educated at Montreal High School and at McGill University (B.C.L., 1859). He was called to the bar in 1859 and practised his profession in Montreal with Judge Torrance, T. W. Richie, and Sir William Rose, with whom he was connected until his death. In 1887, he was created a Queen's Counsel. In commercial, civil, and ecclesiastical law, he was regarded for many years as one of the greatest exponents in the province.
In 1860, he married Agnes McCulloch (1832–1900). He died on April 1, 1906, in Montreal, Quebec.
