Impetuous Jack. — Humphreys v. Milthorpe. — The claim in this case was for £7 0s. 6d., and the plaintiff is a bricklayer at Buckley, and had been working for defendant at their oil works in Buckley last year. — Mr Taylor, of Chester, now asked that the case should be adjourned to next court, as Mr Roper, who had been instructed for the plaintiff, was at the funeral of his father. — Mr Allen, who appeared for defendant, agreed, provided the costs were allowed — that of the manager, Mr Goodison, and two witnesses. — Mr Goodison asked for his railway fare, and was told to be quiet by the judge. —
Mr Taylor : Are you not known by the name of Impetuous Jack ? —
Mr Goodison : That is a very impertinent question.—
His Honour: Don't you be impertinent, sir. If the managers of these works were better able to manage themselves, we should not have so many riots in Mold. —
Mr Goodison : I am not in Mold, your Honour. —
His Honor : No, nor in your senses either. (Laughter,) — The case was adjourned, the plaintiff to pay the costs.
