Quotation or Excerpt

Trial notes: He had a Privy Council commission for trial, but he was tried in front of what looks like a local trial with central representation. Edinburgh officials were sent out to the trial, and the trial appears in the minute books of the circuit court. Post trial: due to be executed between 2-4 in the afternoon.
