Jonet Dick

In July 1629, the judicial machinery of the Scottish kirk and state turned toward Jonet Dick, a resident of Flemming in the county of Berwick. The formal documentation preserved under case number C/LA/3012 records her entry into the legal process on the 27th of that month. Her experience reflects the administrative diligence of the period, as local authorities navigated the complexities of investigating allegations of witchcraft within the parish framework.

Following her initial identification, the matter proceeded to the trial stage, cataloged in the records as T/LA/1273. For Jonet, this transition marked the formalization of the accusations against her, bringing her before the scrutiny of the contemporary court. The records remain a testament to the specific archival history of the Berwick region, documenting her position within the wider judicial narrative of early modern Scotland.
