Pretrial notes: The commission was read out on 18/3/1697 in the burgh of Renfrew, but the trial eventually took place in Paisley.This case was under a PC commission (see PC1/51 p. 136-9) along with most of the people tried at the same time. There were other Renfrewshire witchcraft suspects tried at different places and times. I am keeping this as a mixed/central local because the Privy Council maintained very strict control over the proceedings, even though they granted a commission. For details of the proceedings of Privy Council in this matter see the no named witches case c/la/3235. (English)
Trial notes: Trial started on 13/4/1697 but was continued until 12/5/1697 and lasted until 19/5/1697. Post trial: executed between 2-4 (English)
