WORKMAN, Thomas, Canadian merchant, born near Lisburn, County Antrim, Ireland, 17 June, 1813. He emigrated to Canada in 1827, served during the rebellion of 1837-'8, was present at the battle of St. Eustache, and was made a lieutenant in March, 1838. He entered the employ of a hardware firm in Montreal in 1834, with which he has retained his connection, and he is now its senior partner. He has been for more than thirty years a member of the board of directors of Molson's bank, Montreal, and for many years its president, and is a life-governor of the Fraser institute and Free library, to the establishment of which he contributed liberally, as he has also to McGill university and to many other public institutions in Montreal. Mr. Workman was unanimously elected to the Dominion parliament in 1867 for Montreal centre, and declined renomination, but was again elected in 1875 for Montreal west.
