Case Notes
This was a commission for the people listed in the 'people' section to arrest, interrogate, torture and try suspected witches. It basically says that the use of torture is OK to get people to confess. It is an open commission, meaning there are no specified suspects. I have left the number of suspects at zero because this commission is so general and because we already have many people tried during this time in the database.
