John Harris (Australian settler)

John Harris (1754 – 27 April 1838) was a military surgeon and magistrate who became one of the earliest major landowners in the Colony of New South Wales, Australia.

Harris was born in Moneymore, County Londonderry, Ireland, and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Prior to his arrival in New South Wales in June 1790, he had served in the Royal Navy for 10 years.

Harris was granted 100 acres (0.4 km2) of land in Parramatta in 1793. This grant was cancelled a year later and he was granted 110 acres (0.4 km2) in Harris Park instead.

In 1803 he was brought before a court composed of officers of the New South Wales Corps, charged with committing an offence on the "19th ultimo" (the 19th of the previous month). As the offence had been committed on the "19th instant" (the 19th of the current month), he had to be acquitted. In 1806, he was granted all of the land on the Drummoyne Peninsula. He had various other landholdings including some in Ultimo, which he named after his famous legal case. His total landholdings were listed at 5,114 acres (21 km2) in 1826.

    Famous quotes by John Harris:

    "I need to take advantage of it and play all the way through. But it's a nice start."
    "It could really hurt downtown because of the influence of kids. They are all going to be jam-packed into the restaurants and bars that stay open."
    "Everything was cut off. Really, the Outer Banks was impacted terribly. We definitely felt like the SBA did a good job. I give them a thumbs-up."
    "That was a different life for me, ... Golf and hockey are different games with a different set of skills. But maybe some of the competitiveness from hockey rubs off on golf."
    "This was pretty timely because we are getting toward the end of the year and I had not been playing very well,"
    "That was a pretty big 2-iron, especially considering how poor the first two shots were,"
    "This is a dream come true, playing out here and competing with these guys, ... I am doing something everyone else would like to be doing."
    "Kristi Jacobson is undefeated, ... We had a very focused and successful week of tennis."
    "This was the most I have ever had at one time, ... Every cage was full."
    "We'd have 50 or 60 calls each day from all counties and other states,"
