Stenhouse, for many years one of Dunedin’s best known medical practitioners, has died at the age of 82, reports a Press Association message from Dunedin.

He came to New Zealand as surgeon-super-intendent of an emigrant ship, in 1875, and settled in Dunedin the following year, after making one or two trips to the Old Country in the same capacity. The late Dr. Stenhouse was married in 1881 to a daughter of Mr. A. Anderson, of Stirling, Otago.
