Statements
12 January 1613Julian
Pretrial notes: He was interrogated by the Privy Council until he confessed and named his sisters and others. (English)
Trial notes: He was charged with witchcraft among other things, but executed for poisoning. I am not sure where he was tried, but I don't think it was the High Court. His trial record was not in JC2, but he was prosecuted by the Lord Advocate. Lots of high status people on the assize. Post trial: His head was to be 'strucken' from his body. (English)
