Notes: Named by Janet Coutts (C/EGD/1817). Investigations made at local level and committee of estates applied to for commisison. Suspects examined by Cathie (who was working with Coutts) but evidence seems to have been non-existent. Hunter at one point confessed to demonic stuff but this appears not to have been enough to convict and case was dismissed.
