Edwin Scutt ca 1836-

Notities [Father - gamekeeper.] [Salisbury and Winchester Journal - Saturday 23 March 1867. Stealing Lambs. At the Police-court, on Monday, Hon. W. H. B. Portman, M.P., Frederick Raymond and Edwin Scutt, of St. Giles's, shepherds, employed by Mr. James Symes, of St. Giles's, were charged with stealing three lambs, during the month of February, belonging to Mr Symes. From the evidence it appeared that a man named Edgar Hayter, residing at Verwood, applied to them for the purchase of lambs, and the prisoners sold him three. Scutt was discharged, but Raymond was committed for trial. The magistrate strongly condemned the conduct of Hayter and said only regretted it was not in his power to punish him as he appeared the real cause of the robbery. Joseph shepherd of Henry Shepard of St. Giles's, was committed for trial for a similar offence, having sold two lambs to Hayter without his master's knowledge and consent. Both prisoners were bailed out.
