Quotation or Excerpt

Trial notes: Court met first on 11/12/1644 but was postponed because the defence advocates had not yet spoken to Finnie. Complicated legal resoning and defence pleadings. The assize was in the court room clamoring the day before being sworn in. Trial lasted 2 days. The assize called witnesses extra judicially. Jury deliberated till 8/2/1645.
