Pretrial notes: 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: Indicted with a big group on this day, but the trial was contintued till 12/5/1697. Then at the end of that trial on 19/5/1697 the rest of the group's trials were postponed till 28/5/1697. No record of what happened to them. (English)
