“OSTREPEROUS ONE-LEGGED MAN Andrew Whitelaw, watchman, Criffel Hut, Butterdales, Dornock, was charged with committing a breach of the peace on the Annan to Carlisle road near Dornock Station on 6th March. Mr I. F. Edgar tendered plea of guilty. Mr Kissock said about twenty minutes to nine accused came off a train at Dornock Station the worse of liquor. He commenced to use bad language, and was warned by constables. They put him on to the road, and advised him to go away, but again commenced his conduct, and threatened to kick the constables although he had only one leg. The constables had frequently assisted him home in such circumstances, but on this occasion had to take him into custody. Mr Edgar said accused was forty-seven years of age, and a native of Glasgow, and widower. He had been twelve months at Dornock, and on this occasion had had too much drink. He had a wooden leg. A fine of £3 or fourteen days was imposed. “
