NOTES AND QUERIES. 



499 



it, to be served by her as Alice was, and that she 

 made 'em swear and curse. That they were both 

 of late very hungry, and being ask'd why they 

 were so, they said the head of Bett Horner came 

 off of her body and went into their belly, which 

 wou'd, when they laid, so appear to be prodigiously 

 swell'd, and the swelling abate all of a sudden, 

 when they said it was gone out of 'em again. 



That Sarah walk't up a wall nine foot high four 

 or five times backwards and forwards, her face 

 and forepart of her body paralell to the ceiling of 

 y*' room, saying at the time that Bett Horner 

 carry'd her up. 



The children were also produced in court, who 

 gave the same account sensibly enough, Mary 

 adding further that she saw Bett Horner in her 

 full shape, playing with a toad in a basin, and 

 leaving it suck her at a nipple between her breast 

 and shoulder. 



Alice Osborne swore that she threaten'd her 

 upon refusing her some barm. She afterwards 

 found a vessel, after she had wash't it for brewing, 

 fiU'd full of drink which they threw away, and then 

 brewing and filling y® vessel with drink, in four or 

 five days, neither she, nor her husband having 

 drawn any, she found it quite empty and as dry 

 as if no drink had ever been in it. That Bett 

 Horner threatened her husband saying. Thou hast 

 children as well as others, and if I come home again, 

 m mind some of 'em. 



John Fursey depos'd to his seeing her three 

 nights together upon a large down in the same 

 place as if rising out of the ground. 



Margaret Armiger depos'd that on y" Saturday 

 before the tryal, when the witch was in prison, 

 she met her in the country at about twenty feet 

 distance from her. 



Mary Stephens depos'd she took a red-hot nail, 

 and drove it into the witche's left foot-step, upon 

 which she went lame, and being search'd her leg 

 and foot appear'd to be red and fiery, that she 

 continued so four or five days, when she puU'd up 

 the nail again, and then the witch was well. This is 

 what was most material against her. The witch 

 deny'd all, shew'd her shoulder bare in court, 

 when there appear'd nothing but a kind of mole 

 or wart, as it seem'd to me. She said the Lord's 

 prayer, stopping a little at forgive us our tres- 

 passes, but recovered and went on, and she re- 

 peated the Creed without a fault. 



My Lord Chief Justice, by his questions and 

 manner of hemming up the evidence seem'd to 

 me to believe nothing of witchery at all, and to 

 disbelieve the fact of walking up the wall, which 

 was sworn by the mother. 



My Lord, 

 Y"^ Lp' Most oblig'd and 



Most obedient humble Serv*,
