The Dedicate Dilemma at Middlesex Court reads like farce
In a Middlesex County Court session at Kingsgate Street a maid Mary Morgans sues for wages and notice. She recounts being discharged at minutes’ notice on suspicion of taking a bribe for allowing two men to sleep in the house with a barmaid. The court erupts as details unfold with comic interruptions and a plea that the claim be upheld. the witness identifies herself as the injured party and asserts the men intruded on her chamber, while a male spectator mocks the accused. The atmosphere remains raucous as the plaintiff rests her case against the master in a matter of wages and dismissal.
