Question Transcribing a census note

In a 1841 Scottish Census for Widow (Grace / Grizel) Forbes in Thorn, Johnstone, Renfrewshire, there is a message written in the margins in the occupation column.

I was hoping that forum-goers here might help look over it with fresh eyes as a second opinion:



I know that Grace's (recently deceased) husband, Andrew Forbes, was cited in a directory as a "hillsman." So I *believe* that the message reads:

Quote:
Husband putter in a colliery, has no means of support apart from the parish
To assist in identifying the text, I tried using highlights to distinguish between the scratches & the original note...







Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
