Statements
15 August 1644Julian
Pretrial notes: She was ordered to pay for her imprisonment in Culross, and her transportation to Edinburgh/Canongate. She managed to get someone to authorise their release on caution and the charges seem to have dropped for over a year. She complained about her and her mother's treatment, I think they were released although it is unclear. A rather harrowing description of how they were investigated and treated in prison. (English)
Trial notes: There was a trial at Culross, but the the procurator did not continue with the trial, but he also didn't release them. Mention of a trial happening at 28/8/1644 as well, but possibly just her mother? (English)
