Joseph Scutts, an elderly man, pleaded not guilty to a charge of having, on March 16 last, at Gordon, maliciously wounded John Peters, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Peters stated that he was drinking in a hotel with Mrs. Scutts and others, and accused came in and struck him on the face with his fist. Witness fell to the bar floor, where there was a broken tumbler. After getting into holds with accused, and during the struggle on the floor, he believed he got a cut on the jaw from the broken glass. Peters said he was under the influence of drink, but Scutts was not. He did not believe Scutts hit him with a glass, or anything but his hand. He had known the man for years, and did not think he would do anything like that. His Honor asked the Crown Prosecutor if, after this evidence, he would proceed further with the charge. Mr. Harris: I have just been consulting with Dr. Thane, and he agrees that the injury may have been inflicted in the way Peters says. Under the circumstances I cannot carry the case further. I may say that this statement is very different from what appears to have been made at the other Court, according to the depositions. His Honor directed the jury to find a verdict of not guilty, and the Jury, without leaving tho box, acquitted the accused. Accused, before leaving the dock, freed of the charge, said that he was not drinking on the occasion of the assault. He had merely gone to the hotel to get his wife, who was there drinking. His Honor expressed his sorrow that drinking had brought this trouble upon the accused.] [Evening News (Sydney, NSW: 1869-1931) First-Class Cottage, with 5 acres of land, glasshouses, bush sheds, and stables, price £4000, situated in Foster Street, Leichhardt; also first-class Shop, bargain, price £1000, in Parramatta Road, Petersham.

And there are Others. Last week I was honored by a visit from Mr. Scutts, sen., father of those great youngsters, Joe and Wal, who are to make a name for themselves in boxing when they develop a little more. But it is of the proud father I wish to write. Joe Scutts, sen., would pass for the kiddies big, brother, a fine, loosely-built man without the slightest trace of age, with a thick crop of jet-black hair. At first I thought he was an up-country boxer, who had called to solicit my aid in getting him a match. But so strong a resemblance has he to his bonny boys that I immediately said, 'Your name is Scutts,' and with a surprised look in his good-natured face he said, How do you know? The object of his visit was, to tell me that the £5 his son Wal had deposited for a match with Holmes, now that the latter had signed to meet Wills at West Maitland next Saturday night, could remain up for any other 8.6 lad, who cared to cover it. Though an unassuming man, I learned from him that he himself had figured in the fighting line, but always under E.P.R. rules, and also that his forefathers for ages back were prominent English fighters. 'You'd hardly believe it,' he added, for with such a name one would think I am of German descent.' 'I would like to meet friend Scutts again. I am sure he could furnish me with interesting stories' of the days when bare hands were used, and contests were not under police control. When he was taking his departure I inquired if Joe and Wal comprised his family, to which with 'a broad smile', he replied: 'Bless your heart, no, I have fourteen altogether.' Mr. Billy Law, so well known in boxing circles in Brisbane and Sydney, and also in the former city as the Queensland Government Official Interpreter, is in Sydney, enjoying a short holiday.] [Bryant & Company, Sheep Trotters Suppliers & General Scalders.
