Also, it is "Uttering" as that is what his offence was, and is noted on many records.

It's clearly Uttering in the first line, but in the second, after "stated this offence", the first letter is the same as in the word/name/abbreviation in the third line, immediately after N.S.W..

If that is taken as Henry (written Hy), then I suggest that the term in the second line is Havg, ie Having.

I agree with arthurk. And "Having" certainly makes a lot more sense.  :)

Agree and I love the meticulous handwritten superscript.  Now as a short form I'd just write 'havg'
