He studied law in London and Hamilton, was called to the Upper Canada bar in 1864 and set up practice in London, moving to Petrolia in 1866. In 1872, he married Isabella Thompson. Moncrieff served as reeve for Petrolia in 1867 and 1873 and mayor in 1874. He was town solicitor for Petrolia from 1875 to 1901 and was named Queen's Counsel in 1889.

Moncrieff was elected to the House of Commons in 1887 and was defeated when he ran for reelection in 1896.

He died in Petrolia at the age of 59.
