Pretrial notes: Apparently Mure is arguing that she was or is sick. Dr. Gellie testified that a neighbour of his named Mure asked him so see their aunt (presumably Marion). His diagnosis was 'hypocondriack distraction', he prescribed some medication, and left the case at that. The PC is taking a much more active role than usual, hearing witness testimony and appointing Edinburgh advocates to the commission. I am going with mixed central/local for that reason, even though the trial was held in Leith. The bailies reported back a guilty verdict and execution on 23/2/1632. The 19/1/1632 commission was renewed on 24/1/1632 with three Edinburgh advocates as the commissioners. (English)
