Notes: KS recorded as having investigated accusations. Presbytery noted that she had not been sufficiently cleared and called her to appear before the ministers. She denied charges. Eventually the ministers asked the provost/baillies of Cupar to take her off their hands and imprison her. They refused. The presbytery wanted to apply to Committee of Estates for commission.
