Case Notes
The Shetland Sheriff Court passed a whole series of laws (much like the Lawting Sheriff and Justice Court of Orkney and the Court of the Bishopric later that same year, see c/la/3051, c/la/3049). they 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.
