Inverness Advertiser 3rd Feb 1877 reported the case. Daniel was accused of malicious mischief. He’d been breaking windows and “otherwise conducting himself in a manner unbecoming a young man who like him had the world before him.” He was described as “occasionally residing” in Kessock St. No mention of any wife. Was found guilty and fined 10/- or 7 days imprisonment. Sheriff mentioned 2 previous convictions and warned Daniel to grow up and get a better occupation.

A hawker in 1855 wouldn’t be a “young man” with the world before him in 1877 would he?
