April 12. In the guard-room of Kinross
jail, in extreme wretchedness, Andrew Ni-
col, well known in the Court of Session
and caricature shops under the name of the
Kinross Lawyer. From a tradesman in
easy circumstances and of decent character;
he reduced himself, by his most litigious and
quarrelsome temper, to the state of a beg-
gar, and finally an outcast from all society.
Rather than give up his pretended rights
to the famous midden-stead, he obstinately
refused all supply from the poor funds of his
native parish : and, in order that he might
retain what he conceived would be the means
of bringing him once more within the walls
of the Parliament House, wandered about
from place to place, until at last, from his
habits of life, and his habits both of body
and mind, he became such a nuisance,
that, disowned by every relation, and shut
out from every house, it was found neces-
sary to convey him to the common prison,
which he quitted only for that asylum,
. where the wicked cease from troubling,
and where the weary are at rest."
