William Greaves, assigned servant to A.W. Scott, charged with insolence to his overseer...John Jones, overseer to A.W. Scott, testified....on Saturday morning last the prisoner came over to the north shore from Newcastle after having been punished. He went into breakfast with same time with the other men. After the usual time, I called all the men to work. The prisoner did not come. I then went to the hut and told him the time allowed was expired. He said he had no breakfast. I told him he had had time and he must come to work. He then came out and used some insolence saying he would report me to Mr. Scott. I told him not to make a scoundrel of himself in reporting me to Mr. Scott. He went into the building and said in a loud voice, damn you, you are as much beneath me as the dirt under my feet. When I found that the prisoner had not had his breakfast I asked him to go and get some although he had had time before. He replied he would not but would take me to court. I do not remember his giving me any reasons for not having his breakfast. In defence William Greaves denied using any insolence but acknowledges that his overseer offered extra time for breakfast. Guilty. Sentenced to 50 lashes

It is with feelings of great sorrow we have to record the somewhat sudden demise of Mr. John William Greaves, which took place at his residence, McCormack street, on Thursday night last, after an illness severe in character and of only a few days duration. Mr. Greaves was taken ill on Saturday last with congestion of the lungs, and, notwithstanding the very best medical skill was used on his behalf, coupled with careful attention and loving nursing, that stern reaper Death with his keen scythe claimed the lamented gentleman to be added to his already long list of names. Mr. Greaves was born at Ash Island, Hunter River in the year 1841, consequently was only 42 years of age and up to the period of his fatal sickness invariable enjoyed good health. The majority of his life has been spent in Newcastle, the exceptions being a residence of a few years at Queensland, and Mudgee respectively. Mr. Greaves was secretary to the Newcastle Gas Company, a position held by him up to the time of his death, and the business of which he carried out for twelve years or more with credit to himself and much satisfaction to the directors as also the general public. The deceased gentleman was also connected with most of the principal public companies as auditor, and served in this capacity in connection with the Borough Council. For some time he was ho. Sec. of the Newcastle Annual Regatta, and subsequently its treasurer. The Newcastle Cricket Club also claimed him as treasurer, and he ever took a warm interest in its welfare……Mr. Greaves leaves a widow and seven children to mourn their loss, and for them the deepest sympathy is expressed on all sides.
