Place: Windsor
Source: SG
Details: Windsor, Saturday May 5. John SCOTT, of the ship Indian, a prisoner for life, and who has been near 17 years in the Colony, charged that he had absconded from Parramatta station. This man is to be pitied ; he served some six or eight years with his last master ; how, in the name of reason, can a man be so stupid, as to run from his employment ? His calculations must be founded on a weak mind; he must now recommence his servitude. [A hint to all concerned.] The prisoner had little to say, he acknowledged his offence, and bore a sorrowful countenance. Ordered to be returned to Parramatta.

Scott was born at Cupar, Fifeshire, in 1828, learned plastering and weaving there, and came to the colony in 1850, settling in Sydney, and for three years working at the trade of shipbuilding. He then removed to Port Stephens, where he built two vessels, and in 1856 came to Newcastle, and has been resident in the district ever since. He commenced business as a shipbuilder at Honeysuckle Point, and remained thirteen years; then removed to Bullock Island, and has since continued there. He has built several vessels, has erected bridges for Government, and for several year., the firm were extensive shipowners in the intercolonial trade. In 1886 Mr. J. W.
