On October 25, 1577, the legal machinery of the Scottish courts addressed the case of Jonet Moir, a resident of Mylncraighouse in Ross. Recorded under the reference C/JO/3351, the proceedings against her represent a formal engagement with the witchcraft statutes that characterized the judicial landscape of the late sixteenth century. As an individual identified within the official records of the period, Jonet was brought under the scrutiny of the authorities at a time when local jurisdictions were increasingly active in the investigation of alleged maleficium.
Following the initial registration of her case, the documentation records that Jonet subsequently faced a trial, cataloged under the reference T/JO/2144. While the brief historical record remains sparse regarding the specific accusations brought against her, the existence of both a case file and a trial entry confirms that she was processed through the rigorous institutional framework of the era. By tracking her progression from an initial case to a trial, historians can observe the structured manner in which the early modern Scottish legal system sought to categorize and resolve allegations involving residents like Jonet.
