maid was present in court, but could not speak to declare
her knowledge, but fell into the most violent fit when she was
brought before Rose Cullender.

_Ann Baldwin_ corroborated the last witness, and added that Jane Bocking
was so weak that she could not be brought to the Assizes.

_Diana Bocking_, the mother of Jane Bocking, swore that her daughter had
formerly suffered from fits, but had recovered from them. On the first
of February last, however, she had been attacked with fits which lasted
till the witnesses came to the Assizes, vomiting pins daily, seven last
Sunday. In her fits she would frequently complain of Rose Cullender and
Amy Duny, saying that she saw them standing about the bed. At last she
was stricken dumb for some days, and said when she recovered that Amy
Duny would not suffer her to speak.

_Mary Chandler_, the mother of Susan Chandler, swore that she had
examined the prisoners after they had been examined before Sir Edmund
Bacon, on a charge of having bewitched Mr. Pacy's daughters, and that
she had found certain monstrous growths on the body of Rose Cullender.
She also said that Rose Cullender had appeared to her daughter, who was
in service, one morning while she was washing, whereupon she was
frightened and came at once and told her mother; and soon afterwards was
attacked by fits, vomiting pins, like the others. She was at times dumb,
and at times blind, and when she was brought into court, she was
attacked anew, although she recovered her speech outside.

This was the sum and substance of the evidence which was given
against the prisoners concerning the bewitching of the children
before mentioned. At the hearing this evidence there were divers
known persons as Mr. Serjeant Keeling,[51] Mr. Serjeant Earl,
and Mr. Serjeant Barnard present. Mr. Serjeant Keeling seemed
much unsatisfied with it, and thought it not sufficient to
convict the prisoners: for admitting that the children were in
truth bewitched, yet said he, it can never be applied to the
prisoners, upon the imagination only of the parties afflicted;
for if that might be allowed no person whatsoever can be in
safety, for perhaps they might fancy another person, who might
altogether be innocent in such matters.

There was also _Dr. Brown_[52] of Norwich, a person of great
knowledge; who after this evidence given, and upon view of three
persons in Court, was desired
