Statements
27 January 1629Julian
Pretrial notes: On 12 Oct. 1628 she proceeded against two people for slander in calling her a witch. This pursuit backfired and the ministers decided there was enough evidence from the testimony in the slander case to warrant trying to get a commission of justiciary to try her for witchcraft. She was investigated and witness statements were taken by her commission starting on 29 Nov. 1628, and then on 13, 17, 18, 22 December 1628. (English)
