Pretrial notes: She and Janet Donald (c/egd/1092) petitioned for a postponment of their trial and the appointment of two more commissioners with more knowledge of witchcraft. Request was granted, and trial was set for 10/4/1629. The provost of Dumbarton complained to the privy council about appointing the laird of Luss (a close kin to Umphra Colquhome, a defendant's husband) as a commissioner at the request of the defendants. The PC removed him and his associate and appointed someone else. (English)
