| Sherborne Mercury - Saturday 04 May 1844. April 25, at Hurst Farm, near Moreton, Mary, wife of Mr. John Scutt, yeoman, aged 57 years. |
| [Salisbury and Winchester Journal, Wiltshire, Monday 23 February 1829. A black hackney mare, 14 hands high, was on Thursday night stolen from the stable of Mr. John Scutt, at Waddock, in the parish of Affpuddle, Dorset.] [Salisbury & Winchester Journal, Wiltshire, Saturday 04 November 1843. As Mr. John Scutt, yeoman, of Hurst Farm, near Moreton, was returning from Dorchester Fair, Wednesday evening last, in company with his two sons and brother, the horse on which he was riding, being a spirited one, shied and threw him, and pitching the back of his head, fractured his skull, and otherwise bruised him. Medical attendance being at hand, he was conveyed to the Three Mariners Inn where every attention was paid him, but still lies in a very precarious state.] [J S - 59yr.] |

Mr. Richard Scutt, of Chamberlaine's Mills, near Bere Regis, Dorset, dug up in his garden, a few days since, a single potatoe, solid and of fine quality, of the unprecedented weight of 7lbs., of the sort called the White Bloom.] [Census 1841-61-71-81 Dorset.] [R R S - 72yr.] |
| [S M S 79yr.] [Reading Mercury Sat 23 Oct 1886. Alleged Murder of Grandmother. A man named Sidney Russell was charged at Wareham, Dorset with the murder of his grandmother Sarah Scutt. The prisoner gave himself up to the Police Station on Wednesday morning, and charged himself with murder. Mrs. Scutt was found lying dead at her house shot through head. The prisoner was stated to have purchased a revolver at Wareham on Tuesday. He was committed for trial Tuesday. The deceased woman was 71 years of age.] [The murder occurred in 1886 at Chamberlaynes in a cottage opposite the school, and was reported in the Dorset County Chronicle of 14 October, 1886 as follows, under the heading: Shocking Murder at Bere Regis - A YOUNG MAN SHOOTING HIS GRANDMOTHER. A young man named Sidney Russell, aged 21, on Tuesday night shot his grandmother, Sarah Scutt, aged 79, with a pistol. After committing the dreadful deed he went to the police station and gave himself into the custody of Pc. Bugby, to whom he confessed his crime, for which no motive has yet been assigned. When surrendering himself he said to the constable "I have shot my grandmother; you must go and look into it." This was at five o'clock in the morning. The young man lived with his grandmother, with whom, it is said, he was not on very friendly terms. The latter sentence appears to be something of an understatement as Russell had been about to leave his grandmother for good by emigrating to Australia. In fact his departure was so imminent that his luggage had already been taken to Wareham station, and he had spent the evening going around Bere Heath and Hyde making last farewells to various friends and acquaintances. No really clear motive emerged at his subsequent trial, but it was by some supposed that the number of farewell drinks he had taken with friends during the evening had been sufficient to unbalance him. The effect which this episode must have had on the neighbouring school can be imagined from the following relevant entries in the Heath School log book by the mistress, Miss Horth: Oct 15, "No school on Thursday afternoon as the room was required for the inquest up-on the body of Mrs Scutt who was murdered by her Grandson Sydney Russell in the cottage opposite the school on the previous Tuesday night". Nov 9th, "Compelled to close the school this afternoon as I have to go to Winchester to appear as a witness against Sydney Russell". Nov 16th, "Returned from Winchester & reopened school on Wednesday morning - was kept at Winchester 7 days waiting the trial which took place on Tuesday 16th & the unhappy young man was condemned to die, but with a recommendation to mercy on account of mental-weakness".] [Murdering a Grandmother. A Sentence of Death. At the Winchester Assizes on Tuesday, before Baron Huddleston, Sydney Richard Russell; 21, gardener, described as of imperfect education, was indicted for the wilful murder of Sarah Scutt, his grandmother, at Bere Regis, on October 12th. He was likewise charged on the Coroner's warrant. Mr. Bullen and Mr. Loveland prosecuted on behalf of the Treasury, and Mr. Mathews defended. From the opening statement of counsel it appears that for some years past the prisoner had lived with his grandfather and grandmother in a cottage at a place called Chamberlayne, two miles from Bere Rgis, in Dorsetshire, and at the time of the occurrence prisoner and his grandmother lived together, his grandfather having died some time previously. The first that was known of what had happened was owing to the prisoner calling at the house of P.C. Bugby, at Bere Regis, about 5.30 a.m on the morning of the 13th of October, whom he knocked up. The policeman looked out of window and asked what was the matter, and told him to step inside. Prisoner went into house, and on the constable coming downstairs he was informed by the prisoner that his grandmother was dead. The man made inquiries of the prisoner as to whether anyone was present at the time of death? and he replied "No." Bugby:I asked how long his grandmother had been ill, and then the prisoner said "The fact is, I shot her." The constable then went to the cottage, about two miles distant, and on arriving there examined the bed, but though it had been occupied the woman was not there. He looked about, and in a corner of the room, he found the deceased lying down perfectly dead. She at that time was in her night clothes, and there were marks of blood upon the pillowcase and on one of the sheets, and an examination showed that the unfortunate woman had been shot through the head, and that death, under the circumstances, must have been instantanteous. When asked to account for the murder the prisoner seems to have told the policeman that it was all through drink. He added that he and his grandmother had had supper together, and that she had retired to rest between nine and ten o'clock, that he had then gone down to where the spirit decanters were kept and consumed a large quantity of raw spirits which had overcome him, and beyond that he could give no further explanation. He pointed out to the police one decanter, which was empty. Inquiries had been made by the Treasury as to what motive the prisoner could have had, and absolutely none could be discovered, There was no suggestion that the deed had been committed for the purpose of theft, because the old woman, who was well off for her class of life, had a good deal of money on the premises. This cash was kept in the room occupied by the prisoner, in an unlocked drawer. The money remained untouched. Prisoner was to have started upon the morning of the 13th inst. for Australia, at 6.30, and he had been, upon the best and most intimate terms with his grandmother, so that there was an entire absence of motive, and none was suggested by the prosecution. The Treasury, too, had caused inquiries to be made as to the prisoner's state of mind, and he had been examined by several medical men, whose reports had been forwarded. Witnesses were then called to hear out the opening statement of counsel. Mary Cousins, sister-in-law of the deceased, said prisoner had been brought up by his grandparents and when at school he had been brought home more than once suffering from fits. Prisoner came to her house on the evening in question, and seemed depressed, but that was his usual condition. Mary Ann Sherring, a widow, living three quarters of a mile from the prisoner, said on the evening of the 12th the prisoner came to her house, and when about five yards off he said "Mind your eye," and fired in the direction of her as she stood at the door. She closed the door, and then heard another report; also two or three more after she got upstairs. Dr. Liss, who was called to see the deceased, deposed that there was a bullet wound in front of the right ear, and a post-mortem examination showed a corresponding wound on the left side, showing that the bullet had gone completely through the head. The right eyelid was stained with gunpowder so that the weapon must have been held close to the head when fired. Cross examined- Had known prisoner since he was about two years old, and he had always been taciturn. He thought his mental capacity was decidedly below the average. About two years ago prisoner was very violent, and had to be held by two men. Witness looked upon it as mental mania, and prisoner struck him as a person who drank to excess. By the Judge: He would not say that the prisoner was not sane. -Q. Is he a person who would know right from wrong? -A. I should say so, my Lord. -Q. I suppose you find people in all classes of society whose mental capacity is decidedly below the average? -A. Yes, my Lord. -Q. And so such people are in a very exalted position, are they not? -A. Yes, my Lord. (Laughter.). Mr. J. G. Symes, Medical Superintendent of the Dorset County Lunatic Asylum, said he examined the prisoner by direction of the Home Office, he looked upon him as a man of weak intellect, and though he could detect no insanity yet the prisoner was a mind which might be greatly disturbed by excitement. There was such a thing as homicidal mania, which often caused people on impulse to attack those to whom they were most fondly attached. Re-examined: At the time he examined the prisoner he was in a position to know right from wrong. By the Judge: He did not class the prisoner's case as one of homicidal mania. This concluded the case for the prosecution, and the Court adjourned for luncheon. On reassembling several witnesses were called to prove that the prisoner "was of a very nervous temperament", and the schoolmistress at Bere Regis said he appeared to be a man of but one idea, and when spoken to simply replied in monosyllables, "Yes," or "No". Dr. Day, who did duty for the prison surgeon at Dorchester, said he examined the prisoner and the various symptoms which he described pointed to epilepsy, which tended to weaken the intetllect. Prisoner struck him as being very indifferent, and apparently ignorant of the 'quality of the act' which he had committed. He believed the mind of the prisoner was not healthy. He believed there was some atrophy of the brain. Mr. Mathews, in an impassioned address for the defence, urged that the jury had a clear way of finding a verdict by looking at the way the prisoner had tried to frighten the witness Sherring without any intent to do any harm applying the same wanton act of carelessness in his pointing the revolver at his grandmother without any intent to murder. If they thought that would be so it would be manslaughter, but he went even further than that, and contended that prisoner at the time was not responsible for his action if they found that so they could bring in a verict that he committed this act, but without the slightest intention to do any mischief. He strongly urged that the excitement and grief at his approaching departure from England on a mind already weak caused it to give way to the strain, and prisoner was not cognisant. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner and recommended him to mercy on account of his weak intellect. The prisoner was sentenced to death but the Judge promised to forward the recommendation of the jury to the proper quarter.] |

Wareham. Revision of Voters 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. George Stanfield Shepherd claimed in respect a house land at a rent of £10 a year. Had occupied it and paid all rates in respect thereof ever since last June 12 months. His mother-in-law was the occupier of and paid the rent for the premises for some fifteen years before this time. Mr. Weston objected to the claim, formerly a person named William Jones Scutt appeared in the rate-books, and complainant's name did not appear there, only in pencil in the August rate. Mr. Atkinson in explanation of this case, showed how votes are sometimes manufactured. The present claimant's mother-in-law not being entitled to vote, on account of her sex, the name of Wm. Jones Scutt, who had do with the property, was put on the entitle him to vote in respect to the property. There was doubt about that fact. However, things were now altered, and the claimant was the bona fide tenant. Claim allowed.] [W J S emigrated (arrived) 1884 Sep (ship Liguria), 1887 Jun (ship Chimborazo).] [W J S - 65yr., (Anglican).] [The West Australian - Perth Friday 10 January 1902 p4 Article.

In the Supreme Court, before Mr. Justice McMillan, this morning an action was commenced In which E W Scutt proceeded against G H Pyke for the possession of certain premises in Edmond Street, Fremantle, £42 16s.?d. rent, and meane profits. Mr. S. Hurt, K.C., instructed by Mr. Arthur Hardwick, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. M. L, Moss, K.C., and Mr, J. H. Barsden for the defendant. The plaintiff, in his evidence, said he owned the land in question. On Feb ruary 26, 1907, Frances Anne Pyke, of Fremantle, widow, died, and probate of the will was on April 4 granted to the plaintiff, the executor named in the will. The messuage on the northern portion of the premises with its appurtenances was let from March 25, 1905, by the deceased to the defendant on a weekly tenancy, and the defendant quitted the place about October, 1905, and removed to the southern portion of the premises, and became a weekly tenant at the same rental, and continued so at the death of Frances Anne Pyke. Notice to quit was served on the defendant at the instance of the plaintiff on April 16, 1907. Alternatively, the plaintiff said the defendant was tenant at the will of the messuage on the southern portion of the premises, and such tenancy had been determined by the plaintiff by demand for possession, After the death of Frances Anne Pyke defendant took possession of the northern portion. Defendant had also wrongfully taken possession of the third messuage and appurtenances, and had withheld them from the plaintiff. Rent was due and unpaid in respect to the tenancy of the messuage on the northern portion of the premises from March 25, 1905, up to the end of the tenancy, and in respect of the tenancy of the southern portion of the premises. The defence was a denial of any liability, and a contention that he bought the land on which the house was built from money derived by the sale of certain horses and dogs. He bought the land from Mr. Lionel Cole, of South Australia, and had it put in his mother's name, because his mother said, 'If you get in difficulties, there will be something for the children'. He declared that except for a brief period, when he went to Beverley, that his mother lived almost continuously about it. A little while before she died he returned from Fremantle to learn that she was being taken away to his step-sister's (Mrs. Davies). The will was made after the mother left the house, One day the desk was sent for, the explanation given being that the mother wished to give something to her daughter. On the return of the desk all of the papers had been taken out, including some valuable papers belonging to defendant. When he asked for these he was told 'they were buried with granny'. He bought the land for £30, paying £60 down, and the balance by quarterly installments. The deposit was paid as the result of the sale of the horses and dogs, and he paid the two first installments from his own earnings, the third by selling dogs to Peter Luff, and the fourth half by cash and work. By the will deceased wished that after all just debts and other expenses were paid, that the property in Edmund Street, Fremantle, should be sold, and the proceeds divided equally between her daughter, Annie Bond Davles and George Henry Pyke, and should either of them die their share was to be equally divided between their four daughters. The plaintiff, Everard Scott (sic) of Cottesloe, was appointed sole executor. The hearing of the evidence had not concluded when the court adjourned to the following day.] [E W S - 76yr.] [The West Australian (Perth, WA :1879-1954) Saturday 23 December 1944 Edition: Second Edition p1 Family Notices Scutt - On December 22, peacefully, Everard William, devoted father of Daphnne (Mrs C.

| Western Gazette Friday 07 September 1934. Late Mr James Spicer passing of Dorset Worthy. Distinguised Record of Public Service. Death has removed in Mr. James Spicer, of Bovington Farm, Bovington Camp, splendid type of old yeoman who faithfully served his day and generation. A widely known agriculturist, and one of the oldest justices of the peace for the County of Dorset, his keen interest in public affairs had extended over half a century. Mr. Spicer died on Sunday from pneumonia, which developed following an accident in which he was knocked down by a bicycle. He was aged 82. Mr. Spicer, who was the only surviving son of the late Mr. William Spicer, had been engaged in farming the whole of his life, and his splendid constitution enabled him to take an active part in his business up till the last. First he had a farm at Tincleton on the Clyffe Estate, and then on the death of his father, who was at Bovington Farm from 1868 to 1888, he succeeded him, so that there has been continuous family association with that particular farm for years. Mr. Spicer had a reputation second to none for good husbandry, and was in the front rank as a flockmaster. His registered flock of Dorset Down sheep was one of the finest of its kind in the county, and he did everything possible to encourage the breeding of this type. As a member of the Dorset Down Sheep Breeders Association he had rendered invaluable service, and in latter years had acted as judge. For many years Chairman of the old Winfrith Farmers Club, was very seldom that he missed any of the Club's meetings, had represented the Club on the Central Chamber of Agriculture. When the Farmer Clubs gave place to tho Dorset Farmers Union he became an active member of that organisation. 40 Years a Guardian. Far over 40 years took the greatest interest in his work as member of the Board Guardians, and was less enthusiastic in that of the Wareham and Purbeck Rural District Council, became member of the latter body in January 1895, and succeeded the late Mr. George Young as chairman in 1911, and for some 15 years earned out the duties associated with the office with conspicuous ability. His resignation, owing to indifferent health, in April 1926 was accepted with sincere regret, the Clerk being requested to convey him an intimation to that effect, coupled with thanks for his very valuable services. He continued a member, however, until quite recently, when not seeking re-election his seat was taken by his son-in-law, Mr. C. E. Hyde. From 1904 until a year or two ago he was the representative of the Winfrith electoral division on the Dorset County Council, and while having the interests of the whole county at heart, was zealous in his support of anything that was of benefit to the great industry of which was such a splendid example. His retirement here, also was succeeded Mr. Hyde. In 1924 Mr. Spicer qualified as Justice of the Peace at the Dorset Michaelmas Quarter Sessions, and he had since adjudicated on the Wareham Bench. A devoted Churchman, had acted as churchwarden for over 20 years. was a member of the Parochial Church Council, the Parish Council, and a governor of the Wool Church of England Schools. When Bovington Camp became active, Mr. Spicer also served on the Board of Managers at the Bovington Council School. Cricket and Hunting. In his younger days he was captain of the Tincleton Cricket Club. He was one of the oldest members of the South Dorset Conservative and Unionist Association. At one time he was keen follower of hounds, often being out with the South Dorset Pack when the Master was Mr. Harry Frampton, the then owner of the Moreton Estate, in which Bovington Farm is situated. By his geniality he was held in high esteem in Wool, and was the popular president of the Reading and Recreation Club. Mr. Spicer married Miss Lucy Mary Scutt, daughter of the late Mr. William Scutt, farmer, of Regis, and they celebrated their golden wedding in 1929. Deep sympathy has been extended to Mrs. Spicer and to the six surviving children four daughters and two sons. The eldest son is Mr. W. S. Spicer, of Dorchester. The Funeral. The little village church at Wool was filled with mourners on Wednesday, when the funeral took place. Men and women representing every phase of public and social life gathered to pay their last respects, and .... Members of the Wareham & Purbeck Rural District Council included Major Van de Weyer, Mr. .... The family mourners were: Mrs. J. Spicer (widow), Mr. W. Spicer (son), Mr. & Mrs. C. E.

A case of considerable importance to farmers came before the Kensington Justices, sitting at the Town Hall, Kensington, on Tuesday. Mr. Arthur E. Scutt, farmer of Lodge Farm, Padworth, Berks, was summoned by the Hammersmith Vestry, for having given false warranty with milk supplied to Mr. B. J. Vincent, a milk-seller, of 136 Shepherd's Bush Road, W. Mr. Watson appeared for the Vestry, and Mr. Reckitts defended. The facts of the case are as follows: Some weeks ago Inspector Oatley, who is in the service of the vestry, obtained a pint of milk from a lad who was in charge of one of Mr. Vincent's barrows. The milk was divided in the usual way, and the portion sent to the public analyst by the Vestry authorities was returned by that official, together with a certificate stating that it contained 11-3 percent of added water. Proceedings were taken against Mr. Vincent, who successfully defended himself by calling witnesses to prove that he sold the the milk as he received it from Mr. Scutt, and by producing the warranty given by that gentleman. The Bench dismissed the summons against Mr. Vincent; the Vestry then instituted proceedings against the present defendant. The case was heard on Tuesday. Mr. Vincent's witnesses having been called by Mr. Watson on behalf of Hammersmith Vestry. Ernest Nash, a cowman in the employ of defendant, living at Padworth was examined. Witness, who was present at the milking, said he would swear that the milk was not tampered with. Mr. Scutt, the defendant, was also called, and gave evidence to the same effect. He had, he said, been in the business eleven years, and had never had a complaint of any kind before. He sealed the churn in question up himself and delivered it to the authorities at Aldermaston Station a few minutes before the train started. He suggested that his liability in the matter ceased at Aldermaston Station. Certainly he was not responsible assuming that any of the railway officials tampered with the milk. After a short consultation, the Chairman said the Bench were of opinion the defendant honestly believed the milk to be pure when he wrote the warranty. The summons would therefore be dismissed.] [Reading Mercury Sat 03 Aug 1901 Berkshire. County Magistrates Office, Reading Saturday, July 27. (Before Captain Cobham, Chairman; G. W. Tyser, Esq., C. W.

Harry Vernon Scutt, farmer, of who was represented by Mr. H. O. Lock, sought to obtain order possession of a cottage occupied by Henry Davis, for whom Mr. J. W. Miller appeared. Mr. Scutt stated that respondent was formerly in his employ at a wage of 47s. per week, with cottage and garden, and firewood and what rabbits he liked to catch for his own consumption. As he had to complain the way in which he did his work, was given notice to leave the 6th April, but as he could not obtain other employment was kept on.

He left the applicant's employ, but he did not given up possession of the cottage. He engaged a man named Cheeseman in respondent's place, but he would not stay because he could not gain possession of the cottage. Then a man named Charles Crabb, Bere Regis, was engaged, and the cottage was required for his occupation. In answer Mr. Miller, the applicant said he believed the proper wage for a carter April last was 17s., he had never heard that the sum fixed by the Wages Board that time was 52s.

| [Western Gazette, Somerset, Friday 26 November 1948. Dorchester Borough Court. Motorists Ignorant of Regulations. Dorchester Borough justices on Monday expressed concern that the regulations regarding the duty of a car owner to notify the local taxation authority any change of ownership were apparently not widely known. Four defendants before the Court all pleaded ignorance of the regulations. When Cuthbert Harry Bernard Scutt, of Manor Farm, Charminster, was summoned for this offence, Mr. F H James, for the County Solicitor, said, "While may not appear on the face of be a very serious matter it is of vital importance the whole system of motor registration and taxation in this country that the records should be kept up to date and correct in every particular, and that is why these proceedings are brought to-day. As far as this car was concerned", he said, "it had disappeared into the blue." Scutt was fined £2.] [C H B S of Hountsmoor Farm.] |
| [Theodora Gaye Scutt, the daughter of Lost Club regular Count Potocki, has published a memoir of T. F. Powys, Cuckoo in the Powys Nest (2000), published by Brynmill Press. Mrs Scutt was brought up by Powys and his wife Susan, and the book gives an intimate portrait of the Dorset genius and mystic from the early 1930s until his death in 1953. Lost Clubbers who have read Mrs Scutt's sketch of her father in Issue 2 will know that she is a writer with trenchant style and refreshing candour. As her publishers state: 'Mrs Scutt writes in an entirely unselfconscious way, with vivacity, perceptiveness, and firmness of judgement, not least in respect of herself. Here is a galaxy of personalities, many of them celebrities in their day, others obscure but as strongly individualized.' Theodore Powys is best remembered for his religious allegory Mr Weston's Good Wine (1927). God and the archangel Michael visit the village of Folly Down to bring the villagers wine, love and death.] [Plot: KK Rose Gdn 21, 0140.] |
