Great Tithes, Bere Regis, Sold by Auction, (in Fee) by Mr. Green, at the Golden Lion Inn, Wareham, Dorset, Saturday the 2nd of October next, at four o'clock in the afternoon, in Lots. The Great Tithes of Corn and Hay, growing and arising out the following Farms, Estates, and Lands, containing altogether about 1100 Acres, situate in parish of Bere Regis, Dorset: comprising Emery's School Lands; the Lands of Drax Grosvenor, Esq. occupied by Mr. Biles, Mr. Deasant, Mr. Romain, Richard Scutt;.

Angust 21, 1824.] [Sherborne Mercury, Dorset, Tuesday 03 October 1865. Wareham. Revision of Voers list. On Wednesday and Thursday, Edward Platt, Esq., the barrister appointed for the purpose, sat at the Townhall to revise the list of voters for the borough of Wareham and Bere Begis. Mr. Atkinson, of Blandford, Mr. Phippard, and Mr, Trevenen, appeared to support the Conservatives, Mr. Weston of Dorchester, Mr. Bartlett, and Mr. Lacey, appeared for the Liberals. There were some 160 claims and objections, a fact amply testifying that the two parties cherish the advice of the late Sir Robert Peel, to fight the battle of the hustings in the Revision Court. It would, of course, be a useless occupation of our space to give a detailed account of the claim and objection in every case, where there were so many, and we shall therefore content ourselves with giving his honour's decision on the most important points on which discussions arose. The list for Bere Regis was first taken. Richard Scutt, jun., claimed partner with his father on farm rent of £85 a year. Both names were marked on the waggons, and both names appeared in the rate-books, and claimant had been the register before but last year he lost his vote from being objected to, and having business at Woodbury Hill fair, was unable to attend at Wareham (which was on the same day) to support his right to be on the register. Claim allowed.] [R S - 86yr.] [Will 6 Nov 1869 - Blandford.]
