Loughborough Police Court: Wednesday: before Captain Heygate, S. Wells, F. Winser and J. S. Smith, Esqs: Oath against Oath: Frederick Cramp, pattern cutter, Argyle Street, Leicester, claimed £1 10s, a week’s wages, in lieu of notice, from Ward Bros. and Co., boot manufacturers, Sileby. Complainant said he entered the defendant’s service on a verbal agreement that there should be a week’s notice on either side, and that he should receive £1 10s a week and be paid for holidays … On Friday they told him not to come any more, although he wanted to serve the week’s notice: Cross examined by Arthur Edward Pincent, who answered the summons, he denied asking, on the Thursday, to be allowed to leave on the following day, as he had another job to go to. Defendant admitted the verbal agreement as to the week’s notice on either side. On Thursday plaintiff came into the office, and complained of a son of Mr. Ward being introduced, and said he thought the sooner he cleared out the better. He asked for permission to take his pattern cutter away, as he had another situation to go to on the Monday or Tuesday … … The parties consulted in the magistrate’s room, and the Bench found for the complainant for 15s, each to pay their own costs.
