SourceReferenceNotes
Books of AdjournalJC2/11; JC2/10 fos. 18v-20rJC2/11 and JC2/10 have the same text. Also found in the High Court Record Index, no. 1 for 7/8/1661, this index did not distinguish between circuit and high court cases. This list of names was added in the margins with a modern hand, no indication of where the person got the list.
High Court Process NotesJC26/27/5 item 9Same as the information in the JC2s, only this draft dittay has people charged who did not appear in the final High Court Books of Adjournal.
High Court Process NotesJC26/27/5 item 11A letter saying that a group of Liberton witches confessed, with witnesses.
High Court Process NotesJC26/27/5 item 12This document is a draft dittay with notes indicating whether or not the accused witch went to the trial of an assize or not. She went to an assize trial. I think the Books of Adjournal edited out the accused witches who did not pass on to the assize. This is either a draft dittay or a first draft of the Books of Adjournal.
