Sentence:  An echo of "<WSD>bauchling</WSD>" lingered on, it seemed to me, in Cumbrian rural police courts until a few years ago. Nowhere else, as a court reporter, have I heard so much abusive interruption and blasphemous invocation from the public benches during the hearing of cases. Cumbrian magistrates dealt with it most tolerantly. 
Meaning of the word marked with <WSD> tags:  To insult, to upbraid, to make a fool of someone.
