I'm glad finis is finis. One of those quotes is rather sad.
"Rumbustious" is an adjective, and the quote uses it as an
adverb. In fact the sentence is very poorly written.
That reporter had too much rum and too little coke.
"Lord Salmon added that 'no criticism of a judgment, however vigorous, can amount to contempt of court, providing it keeps within the limits of reasonable courtesy and good faith. The decision here complained of, however rumbustious, however wide of the mark, whether expressed in good taste or in bad taste, seems to me to be well within those limits'."
