In the spring of 1661, the judicial records of Haddington formalize the case of Jonnet Home, a resident of that burgh. Her appearance in the legal archives occurs precisely on the 3rd of May, a period characterized by a surge in witchcraft accusations across Scotland. The documentation, cataloged under reference C/EGD/1960, marks the beginning of the formal proceedings against her, situating Jonnet within the broader administrative efforts of the seventeenth-century Scottish legal system to identify and prosecute those suspected of maleficium.
Following the initial registration of her case, Jonnet was processed through the established judicial mechanisms of the time, leading to her trial under record T/JO/1807. While the surviving fragments of the record do not elaborate on the specific testimonies or the final verdict rendered, the existence of these entries confirms that she was subject to the full rigors of the court. Through these brief archival notations, the legal trajectory of Jonnet remains preserved as a distinct instance of the formal witch trials that marked the social and judicial landscape of Haddington during this volatile era.
