On May 29, 1650, Jeane Park of North Berwick was formally processed within the legal machinery of the Scottish witch trials. Her appearance in the historical record links her to a larger group of nine other individuals facing similar accusations, a reflection of the communal nature of many such proceedings during the mid-seventeenth century. While the surviving documentation offers no biographical detail regarding her life, occupation, or social standing within the Haddington community, the formal case file C/JO/2719 preserves the date of her entry into this judicial process.
The judicial record further notes that Jeane provided a confession on the very day of her registration. Although the specific content of this testimony—the details of the activities or compacts she purportedly admitted to—has not survived, the existence of the confession record T/JO/167 marks a pivotal point in the proceedings initiated against her. Like many women caught in the fervor of the 1650 trials, Jeane remains a figure defined by the brief, administrative shorthand of the court, representing a singular moment in the broader legal history of early modern Haddington.
