ft made the plates rattle ; and went off with a noife, 
“ like a fmall guft of wind.” 
However, Mr. Burrow did not then judge it to be 
either regular or proper to trouble the Society with 
this account ; becaufe Mr. Goodricke only received 
it from hearlay and report, he himfelf happening to 
be abfent from Lingfield at that time. 
But Mr. Burrow having patted fome days, during 
the late recefs of the Society, at a place called Star- 
borough-caftle, which lies nearly between the two 
churches of Lingfield and Edenbridge (fcarce four 
miles diftant from each other), he has had an oppor- 
tunity of being more particularly and circumftan- 
tially informed of the fad, as- far as relates to thofe 
two parifhes : and he is now affured, that it was cer- 
tainly and undoubtedly felt and obferved by fome 
perfons in each of thofe two parifhes j tho’ (as it 
happened in the dead of the night, when moft peo- 
ple were faff afieep) it was not generally perceived : 
nor was it much fpoken of, even by thofe, who 
were fure they felt it. 
The perfons, from whofe own mouths he can 
authenticate the fad, are James Martin, Adam Kil- 
lick, Mrs. Jewell, and Mr. Chapman : and he has 
no lefs doubt as to Mr. Orgies and Mrs. Pigott (who 
was waked and much frighted by it), tho’ he did not 
indeed perfonally converfe with either of the two laid. 
Thefe two, and Mrs. Jewell, all inhabit quite dole 
to Lingfield church-yard, on different fides of it : 
and Chapman lives within a quarter of a mile of it, 
to the fouth-weft. 
James Martin lives within a bow-fhot of Star- 
boroush-caftle, at the eaflern edge of the parifh of 
° " Line field.
