In May 1650, Jonnet Mores, a resident of Newton in Ayr, became the subject of legal proceedings under case reference C/LA/3206. The records of the period reflect the judicial intensity surrounding accusations of witchcraft in mid-17th-century Scotland, a time when the legal machinery of the kirk and the state were increasingly focused on identifying those believed to be in league with diabolical forces.
Following her arrest, Jonnet underwent the standard judicial process of the time, which culminated in the recording of a formal confession. This document, preserved as T/LA/1772, serves as the primary historical testament to her involvement in the trial. While the specific nature of the allegations brought against her remains confined to the administrative ledger, the existence of a recorded confession marks her as one of the many individuals whose lives were caught within the volatile intersection of local suspicion and formal legal inquiry in 17th-century Ayrshire.
