Pretrial notes: (English)
Trial notes: John Leyis and his daughters were absolved from accusations of witchcraft but guilty of assocation with known witches (wife and brother). They were ordered to be banished. Post trial: Banished after trial but no specific details. Later a letter to the town clerk asked about Janet's character as she wanted her marriage banns read. The clerk outlined the details of the trial, said he knew no more about her but did not think that there was any reason to refuse her request. No information about location. (English)
