James Welsh, Common Pricker of Scotland

In the 1660s, "James Welsh...was ordered to be publicly whipped through the streets of Edinburgh for falsely accusing a woman of witchcraft; a fact which alone proves that the superior court sifted the evidence in these cases with much more care and severity than it had done a few years previously" (Mackay 541).
