District A section 161, Nathaniel Prettyjohn, with a well, 16 feet deep, including three feet of water. The land is three acres, enclosed by posts and three rails. The area includes a dwelling - house and stock - yard.

On April the 28th 1844 or 1845 Nathaniel Prettejohn was found guilty of illegally impounding four bullocks. He was fined £5 and £1 costs.
GRG 24/6 A (1845) 552

Nathaniel Prettejohn (19 May 1845) appealed to his Excellency the Governor of South Australia on the grounds the "cattle had destroyed my crop to a considerable amount and broke down the fence which has been a serious loss to me"

The Comm. of Police on the 21 May 1845 could find no hardship (even though he had a large family) and so he could not remit the fine.
GRG 24/4 G (1845) 867

Nathaniel Prettejohn on the 22 May 1845 received a letter from Mr. Richardson on behalf of the Colonial Secretary informing him of the result. "His Excellency regrets that there does not appear to be any sufficient reason to justify him in remitting the fine of £5 which the Commissioner of Police inflicted in compliance with the terms of the Impounding Act."

GRG 24/6 A (1845) 1270
Nathaniel Prettejohn (18 October 1845) again appealed to His Excellency on the grounds of "much hardships having been fined lately" and also a legal argument.

GRG 24/4 L (1845) 5
On the 28 October 1845 Nathaniel Prettejohn received another letter advising him of the result. "Your request cannot be acceded to as His Excellency (the Lieutenant Governor) sees no reason for over ruling the decision of the Magistrate in your case." reference:- The South Australian Government Gazette March 26, 1846 page 155

After finishing with Smart's Nursery in 1946, Gordon W. Prettejohn bought the nursery formerly conducted by W. Stanford at Gertrude Street, Lockleys for about 4,000 pounds. Owing to ill health in 1956, Gordon Prettejohn had to stop working, and Glen Churchett, having been employed for some years carried on. Lee G. Prettejohn son of Gordon, commenced working in the business in 1956 and in 1960 a partnership between Lee Prettejohn and Glen Churchett was formed and conducted the business. About 1970-1972 Lee and Geoffrey joined in partnership, and operated the business as PRETTEJOHN'S NURSERY at 11 Gertrude St. Brooklyn Park. This nursery has traded in bedding plants and seedlings since established in 1946. All propagation done in those days was in open ground or in one or two small glass houses; however as time has gone by, large glass house areas have been constructed as well as shade cloth areas. The area held covers about one acre. In addition to the nursery, a stall at the central market was purchased in 1946 from Mr. Stanford and business has been conducted there ever since. Originally the business traded as G.W. PRETTEJOHN, but later became simply PRETTEJOHN'S NURSERY currently handling all bedding type plants with special emphasis on Petunias, Flowers, Tomatoes and all vegetable plants.
