Statements
Pretrial notes: He was imprisoned in the tolbooth of Jedburgh under suspicion of witchcraft, but they refused to try him. He was being held by the request of the Sheriff of Berwick. The High Court ordered him released from prison on caution and to appear when called for trial. Says he was orginially investigaed in the 'Englishe tymes when they wold put no person to death without proven Malefice against them.' (English)
Trial notes: He was ordered to be moved to the tolbooth of Edinburgh on 24/5/1671. Apparently that never happened. (English)
