Statements

It is difficult to tell whether this is a neighbourhood dispute or refusal of charity as there is no indication of Janet's economic status. She asked for ale and cream to churn and when refused the produce was spoiled so may be that she was less well off than her neighbours but I have included both as secondary characteristics.Witnesses claimed accused cause death of baby and illness. Also ale and cream was spoiled after she had asked for some and been refused. (English)
