Case Notes
The Lawting Sheriff and Justice Court (much like the Court of the Bishopric later that same year, see c/la/3049) forbade the concealing of witchcraft and other crimes such as theft, murder, oppression, blood wrongs, etc. This act was in a whole series of justice acts regarding all manner of things, hiring servants, weights and measures, etc.
