Trial Notes
A trial held by JPs. Assume this is a trial because it says that the court was fenced. The JPs made a verdict of guilty, doesn't seem to have been a jury! To be taken to Edinburgh for 1/3/1659 for sentencing. Have an undated indictment.
Post-Trial Notes
Jonet Man's documents from 2/3/1659 recorded that Alleson was 'lately burnt'.
