Books of Adjournal	JC2/11; JC2/10 fos. 17v-20r	JC2/10 and JC2/11 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 Notes	JC26/27/5 item 8	mentioned
High Court Process Notes	JC26/27/5 item 9	Same 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. A small amount of new information in this document.
High Court Process Notes	JC26/27/5 item 12	This 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.
