Pretrial notes: the commission was read out in the burgh of Renfrew on 18/3/1697. This case was under a Privy council commission (see PC1/51 p. 136-9) along with most of the people tried at the same time. There were other Renfrewshire witchcraft suspects tried at different places and times. I am keeping this as a mixed/central local because the Privy Council maintained very strict control over the proceedings, even though they granted a commission. For details of the proceedings of Privy Council in this matter see the no named witches case c/la/3235. (English)
Trial notes: Trial started on 13/4/1697 but was continued until 12/5/1697 it lasted until the 19th. Post trial: executed between 2-4 (English)
