Andrew Stuart and John Porter, mentioned in the second act, acquired the Saint-Maurice ironworks from Andrew's brother Henry in 1851. The facilities were in a state of disrepair when Porter and Stuart became owners. In spite of government assistance and extensive renvations, such as enlarging the blast furnace, the partners had to abandon the running of the ironworks in 1857 or 1858 after a long court battle with former partners and serious financial reverses. The government acted as the principal creditor in the case and repossed the works, selling hem in 1862.
