Pretrial notes: Witness depositions against her beginning in 14/7/1628 and she was denounced by two confessing witches. A commission was sought but the Bishop of St. Andrews wouldn't proceed based on the evidence. Ordered to report her depositions to the council on 20/7/1629; commission for the central trial was granted to the Sheriffs and bailies of Edinburgh becaue the lord advocate was going to attend a funeral. Sir Thomas Hope of Craighall sent a notice to 'our sherrifs in that part' to call the assize and witnesses for her trial to happen on 1/11/1629. (English)
