Notes: In 1650, a commentator from the Presbytery (unknown identity) requested a commission of justiciary from either the Privy Council or from the Committee of Estates. The commentator also requested more information about each case. The commentator wrote his remarks on each draft dittay, presumably to make the dittay stronger. In 1659, Presbytery investigated case and referred it back to kirk session at Irongray. No further details. Corsan was not held in prison, not enough evidence, but her mother was.
