There is on the property of Mr. Sidney Scutt, at Aldgate, a well 40 ft. deep, with a bore 10 ft. deeper at the bottom, from which good clear water is obtained. The well is on the hillside, at such an elevation that the water when pumped to the surface will gravitate over the two-storey house through pipes. A service has been installed for domestic uses, but soon after the reticulation was completed it was discovered that from the crystal fluid was precipitated a yellow deposit, which left a bitter taste when placed on the tongue. The water is preferred by Mr. Scutt's stock to the water in the creek and elsewhere. Finding that the enamel in the bath and that both bedroom and kitchen utensils were discoloured, Mr. Scutt submitted a sample of the fluid to the Government Analyst for analysis, which proved that the water contained properties that made it superior to the best mineral waters found in England and elsewhere. The analyst reported: "The sample was found to contain ferrous bicarbonate, 11.68 gr. per gallon; sodium chloride, 6.92 gr.; sodium sulphate, 0.48 gr.; free carbonic acid, 4.80 gr. The sample is therefore a Chalybeate Spa water. The ferrous bicarbonate is equivalent to 8.41 gr. of ferrous carbonate, or 5.8 gr. of ferric oxide per gallon. Well known Chalybeate waters, such as Spa, Tunbridge Wells, Alexisbad, Schwalbach, Orexza, &c, contain usually from 1 grain to 10 grains of ferrous carbonate per gallon. Referring to the matter on Friday, Mr. Hargreaves, the analyst, remarked: "When Mr. Scutt asked me what he ought to do with it", I replied, "Bottle it and sell it as an iron tonic. There's a fortune in it". Persons travel long distances in England and elsewhere to get tonic waters of this kind, and here we have within a few miles of Adelaide a water that is better than the best at such places as Tunbridge Wells. It is the only water of its kind in South Australia that I have come across, and as a pure iron tonic the well ought to be made to produce a fortune."] [The Mail (Adelaide, SA) Saturday 18 September 1915.

In the Adelaide Local Court, on Wednesday, Mr. H. K. Paine S.M., delivered judgment in a case in which Ernest James Hume, of Park Terrace, Parkside, engineer, claimed £490 damages from C. S. Scutt of Aldgate, arising out of a collision at the corner of Halifax and King William Streets on June 13 last between the plaintiff's motor car and one driven by the defendant. The defendant counterclaimed £119 17/6. Mr. G C Ligertwood, with Mr. H. Thomson, represented the plaintiff, and Mr. T. S. O'Halloran K.C., with Mr. E. Povey, the defendant. The S.M. said the defendant and Hume (the driver of the plaintiff's car) had both shown negligence, in as much as they had failed to keep a proper lookout. Both had contributed directly to the collision. Hume was driving his father's car, with his father's knowledge and consent. He was on his own private errand, however, which had nothing to do with his father. The position was not that of employer and servant, or employer and agent. It was rather that of bailor and bailee. After having quoted an authority, the S.M. said that in the circumstances the owner of the car was entitled to recover damages. After having considered the question of the amount of damages. His Honor said there would be judgment for the plaintiff on the claim for £252 12/3. There would also be judgment for the plaintiff on the counterclaim. Mr. Povey intimated that he desired time to consider the principle mentioned by the S.M. with respect to the finding that the position was that of bailor and bailee; and a stay of proceedings for 2 days was granted.] [Personal.
