Correspondence from Magistrate Jonathan Warner to the Colonial Secretary...Sir, With reference to your letter No. 35/704 of the 24th ult. I have the honor to report for the information of HIs Excellency the Governor that I have made further inquiry respecting Mr. Boughton s assigned servants being in charge of his salt works at the entrance of Reids Mistake. Constable Moses Carroll was there, by my orders on the 10 inst. and found the prisoners named in the margin (William Shay per Eliza; Henry Tyer per Aurora; and John Huggins per City of Edinburgh) there in charge - the same three men were there on the 18th July last when the bushrangers arrived there. William Shay is the responsible person there. I appears that there has not been a free or ticket of leave overseer in charge of the place since Mr Boughtons free overseer was drowned which accident occurred some months back. Mr. Boughton who resides at Patterson River, visits the establishment about once a fortnight.

Letter No. 35/29. Jonathan Warner to the Colonial Secretary....Sir, With reference to your recent letter, I have the honor to state for the information of His Excellency the Governor that it appears that Mr. Boughtons boatman who was drowned was not the overseer in charge at Lake Macquarie as was represented to me (altho a former boatman had been), from which circumstance Mr. Boughton has in some manner endeavoured to make it appear that himself or his overseer was in charge of his salt works but has omitted to state in his letter that his overseer John Hawkins left his salt works on the 2nd May and did not return there until 22 February during which time the prisoners had charge of the place with the exception of the days Mr. Boughton occasionally visited his salt works. I beg leave to add that when I was at Lake Macquarie on 6th inst. I met Mr. Boughton there and he informed me that he had been at much expense with his salt works and had been for several months past preparing to abandon them as it did not answer his views and from the manner in which he represented the circumstance of his overseer being at his farm at Paterson river together with his occasionally visiting the salt establishment I have taken upon myself to withhold the instructions I have from the Principal Superintendent of Convicts to withdraw Mr. Boughtons three men from his service until I hear from you

John Titford per Minstrel, in service to Mr. G. Blaxland, charged with making use of his mastsers name improperly and without authority. The chief constable states last night the prisoner came to the watch house and stated that his fellow servant had been beating him and that his master had sent him to request that a constable might be dispatched to take him into custody. I sent Turvey to Mr. Blaxlands lodgings, but that Gentleman having retired to rest and Titford still persisting that he had received the orders communicated Turvey accompanied him to the salt works and took the person complained of into custody. On enquiry this morning I find Mr. Blaxland had not given any order for a constable. William Turvey corroborated the preceding testimony. Mr. George Blaxland states - I did not give Titford any order to go for a constable and was much surprised this morning to find my salt works deserted and the man who has the care of them in gaol. I might have been robbed last night to a considerable extent during his absence. John Titford sentenced to 25 lashes.

Details:
Ancient Earthenware – The pottery works at Merewether were situated at the corner of Junction and Patrick streets. They were owned by Nathan Welham. The articles made were drain pipes, bread crocks, jars, flower pots, stone ginger beer bottles, and chimney pots. His potter was a man named Jordon. Welham s parents kept a ship in Hunter Street Newcastle, on the site of Scott s emporium, and the wares from the pottery were sold there. The clay was dug on the pottery site, but the pits have long since been filled in with drift sand. The Pottery Inn, kept by Welham was on the corner, and the works at the back. Next to the pottery was a fine Lucerne paddock owned by Mr. Birdmell and there was also a stream nearby where the residents used to gather fine watercress – Robert F. Lingard
