Notes: Accused named by Janet Coutts (C/EGD/1817) and presbytery arrest and investigate case. Commission granted and suspects pricked but nothing found against Moffat. Ordered to be released. Ministers had wanted Coutts to be brought to confront those she had named but this seems not to have happened, and this appears to be another example of Coutts' naming without any cause.
