"HUMBUG" Retort at noisy West Tithe Meeting. Dorset Farmer's Protest For "Fair Play." Three out-voted when noisily interrupted Anti-tithe Meeting at Dorchester, Dorset, Saturday night, Alfred Scutt, of Maiden Castle Farm, Dorchester, said "let's have fair play. I am out play the game for my country and I don't beieve in a lot of Humburg." Oony three votes were given for a direct negative which he had moved to resolutions before the meeting. Scutt said that he held no brief for the parson, but small landowner and tenant farmer was out for fair play. People accepted obligations when they bought farms in pre-war days, and they bought them with tithe. Sir George Vernon, of Hall, Worcester, denied that clerical tithe was property. The property from which the tithe came had to be maintained. Repairs were not done by the parson, he said, but the poor old squire who went to church Sundays and was told that money was the root of all evil and covetousness the worst of sins. Landowner's Declaration. Mrs Doreen Wallace said that if they could convince Parliament that the tithe law was unworkable they could get repealed. Cap:G. Pitt Rivers, a Dorset landowner, that he was an agriculturist, tithe owner, and not an inconsiderable owner. He declared "I will not henceforth discharge a single agricultural worker or workman on my estates or lower any wages in order to pay tithe." Up to a year ago he paid tithe regularly, but owing to crushing taxation he had to make considerably retrenchments and discharge his work people. It is immoral," he said "to discharge men and throw them on the rates and tax us in order to pay this charge on an industry out of which we make our living for the good of the nation."] [Scutt, Alfred John - Chalbury Lodge, Preston, Weymouth, of independent means - Lock Reed & Lock, Dorchester, Dorset, Solicitors, (Doris Seymer Scutt, Ruth Seymer Milligan, William Scutt, William Noel Chick and Henry Osmond Lock) 23rd April 1952.] [A J S 80yr.]
