Information/Service?
This account lists the sums spent on the burning of a witch, such as two shillings (£0.10) to Esmie Goldman for four fathoms of rope, such as fifteen shillings (£0.75) for three baskets of coal, six shillings (£0.30) for two tar barrels, and six shillings and eightpence (£0.33) for the hangman's travel expenses from St Andrews. The Treasurer totals the expense as five pounds, sixteen shillings and eightpence (£5.81), but does not bother to record the poor woman's name, so we do not know who she was.
