Pretrial notes: High Court ordered her to be moved back to kirkListon for her trial, because it was too difficult to get the witnesses and assize members to Edinburgh, 19 July 1661. The ministers and elders of kirkliston ordered to appear in Edinburgh 13 august 1661. Then she appears in Edinburgh for her trial. She denied all charges at her trial. She confessed to the minister and kirk session of Kirkliston. Robert Wilson told her to confess and she wouldn't be tortured. (English)
Trial notes: She was tried with a random group from a different area. The assize was mostly from Edinburgh, not from Kirkliston. Although another document lists several from Kirkliston, Winchburgh, Ingliston. There was an order for a trial for 20/9/1661 which may never have happened. Post trial: no details (English)
