Pretrial notes: Suspect named by Janet Coutts (C/EGD/1817) and local ministers investigated case. Commission from committee of estates granted and, although one witness appeared against Laidlaw, the case was dismissed. Coutts and Cathie seem to have had a double act as he was brought in to examine the suspects. Coutts may have been brought to confront them but no record of it. (English)
