George Outram (1805–1856), humorous poet, was a Scottish advocate, a friend of Professor Wilson, and for some time editor of the The Herald in Glasgow. He printed privately in 1851 Legal lyrics and metrical illustrations of the Scotch form of process, and later some of his work was collected posthumously in Lyrics, Legal and Miscellaneous, which was published with short biography in 1874.
