File consists of receipts and other types of financial correspondence tucked between leaves of the Day Book. The original locations within the Day Book have been noted for each enclosure.

File consists of a ledger notebook used by different family members at different times. In the nineteenth century the book was used to record what appears to be posthumous financial information regarding the estate of William Magrath. In the mid-twentieth century the book was used by Naomi Harris at "Benares" (Clarkson, Ontario) to record lists of stocks and payments to "Huron St. accounts." Harris notes that she is using an old book of grandfather's.

File consists of photocopy of a booklet written and published by J. K. Dean, a school teacher at the Credit. The publication was an attempt to discredit the Magrath family by accusing them of dishonesty, misconduct, immorality, slander, perjury, and cowardice. It prompted the Magraths to bring a libel suit against Dean in which the court ruled in the family's favour. Letters in files 1 to 8 of Series 1 of this fonds refer to the proceedings and to Dean as "the Enemy." The contents of this file constitute a copy of the booklet apparently housed at the Toronto Reference Library and may have been collected by a Magrath descendent.
