On April 6, 1658, Agnes Wasoune, a resident of Craigie in Ayr, appeared before the court to answer for charges of witchcraft. Her legal journey began several days earlier, when her name was included on a porteous roll dated March 31, 1658. This document, which functioned as an indictment or formal list of charges, summoned Agnes alongside a wider group of individuals to appear for trial before the judicial authorities in Ayr.
The proceedings occurred against the backdrop of the heightened legal activity characteristic of the 1658 group trials in the region. Records indicate that Agnes was processed under case reference C/EGD/263, with the subsequent trial notes recorded under T/LA/1586. Following the initial summons, she attended the scheduled Ayr court session on April 6, where the formal trial process regarding her alleged involvement in witchcraft was conducted.
