Statements
23 March 1659Julian
Pretrial notes: (English)
Trial notes: I think this was the north circuit even though it is bound in with the West and South area. In 1661 the PC ordered that there had been irregularities in it and that another trial was to be held. Also on an undated list of people from 1658-9 to be arraigned before the justice courts. She pleaded not guilty Post trial: She was ordered to be held in Stirling tolbooth untill arrangements could be made for her banishement. She was banished from the nations of England, Scotland, and Ireland - essentially she was ordered to be transported. She gave her mark (signature) stating that once transported she wouldn't return.
