Case Notes
This Ayr Jonet Hunter was a different person from the one accused of witchcraft who was from Dundonald and was executed before 1604. Appeared before kirk session for punishment for being a viscious woman and a slandered but no reference to any witchcraft. Disregard the Ayr Kirk session minutes.
