Description

GenderMaleLife Story

John Sing placed a notice in the Queensland Times on 21 September 1867 which cautioned Shopkeepers and others against giving Credit to his wife Georgiana Sing, or Squire, advising that he would not be answerable for the same, she having left her home.

The Queensland Times on 4 January 1868 reported the following:

About twelve months ago a very intelligent Chinaman, named John Sing, took up his quarters in Ipswich, having in his possession a considerable sum of money. After a time he married, and he seemed exceedingly happy, until all at once his deceitful fair one decamped with another, leaving poor John lamenting. He has scarcely ever been sober since, and on Thursday while under the influence of drink he fell from his horse, and besides breaking his left arm received a severe wound on his head. He is now in the Hospital progressing favourably.
