High Court Process NotesJC26/27/5 item 9She was not tried with the 12 other people listed in this draft dittay. Unclear why.
High Court Process NotesJC26/27/5 item 11A letter saying that a group of Liberton witches confessed, with witnesses.
High Court Process NotesJC26/27/5 item 12This document is a draft dittay with notes indicating whether or not the accused witch went to the trial of an assize or not. She did not go to an assize trial. I think the Books of Adjournal edited out the accused witches who did not pass on to the assize. This is either a draft dittay or a first draft of the Books of Adjournal.
