Trial Notes
She was 'dempt to quite tham selffis' to the Sherrif court. Basically this means that she was called and could try to get rid of the charge with oaths from his friends. She was to do a 'larycht aith' that meant getting two neighbours to swear to her innocence and to pay a 2 merk silver fine.
