Notes: 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. The neighbours wanted the bailie to investigate her after a mysterious illness and death. After the bailie put her in ward she threatened him and he became ill. We have a dittay.
