Cuthbert Harry Bernard Scutt 1911-1994

Notoj [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.]
