George Ireland Orman

George Ireland Orman was found dead in Dalkeith Road near Priestfield Road in Edinburgh at 3.35am on Sunday 1 January 1950.

A 31-year-old man was arrested on a charge of murdering him, a charge that was later reduced to culpable homicide, but at the Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday 5 April 1950 a verdict of 'not proven' was returned on a charge of assault. He was said to have struck George Orman when he tried to separate two women who were fighting in the street.
