Notes: Presbytery noted that the three are suspect of witchcraft and that they have confessed but they are not subject to the authority of any of the ministers or presbytery so cannot attest their statements. They are to be re-examined by Andrew Makghie and their statements confirmed.Second confession 25/7/1649 appears to be retracting some details. Note about depositions being attested and that commission to be sought.
