Pretrial notes: Earl of the Cassillis Lord Justice General wrote to the kirk session on 25/11/1660. The kirk session said they knew nothing about this except for the confessions that were now in the hands of a church elder Walter Scott. Scott agreed to bring the confessions to the Justice General and question neighbours about her. He specifically asked her neighbours about malefices, charms or superstitions. No witnesses came forward so released on caution. She was visited in the Tolbooth by her husband. The whole thing was referred to the Lord Justice General on 27/11/1660. The note says that lots of people had been released on caution by the JPs sitting in Tranent. (English)
