Gasfitting

A dispute afterwards arose as to certain articles in the house and grounds which the purchasers claimed as being of the nature of fixtures, and the purpose of the present suspension and interdict was to prevent Mr Mitchell-Innes from selling or removing “any of the grates, hearth and fireplace tiles, gasfittings, gas lustres and brackets, and picture rods, situated within the said mansion-house, or in any of the offices, conservatories, fernery, greenhouses, or lodges in connection therewith;[…]” &c.

Some workers were employed in processing lumber, milling flour, canning salmon and oysters, and making optical goods, plumbing and gasfittings, women’s clothing, and bicycles.

As an alternative to repairing gasfittings and the replacing of gas mantles and electric light bulbs, he must be able to put glass in windows, prepare and hang papers on walls, and repair cane-bottom chairs.
