Case Notes
The Baillie of Cuninghame told the presybery of Irvine that an assize would be held on 12 people who had confessed to witchcraft and that the execution would take place on the following Friday. He requested the Presbytery to send ministers to wait upon them before their death, which the Presbytery did. They sent 13 ministers.
