Pretrial notes: Petition from Sir Rory Mclean about the illegal imprisonment and pursuit of his relatives. Reference to a previous commission (6/1662) for the execution of the accused but no documentary evidence. Council ordered the Chisholms to bring the accused to Edinburgh and to appear themselves to answer charges. 4/9/1662 petition by the Chisholms that the McLeans had not appeared at council to prosecute their accusations and so the charges about illegal imprisonment dropped.
