This Examinate saith, That about halfe a yeare before _Robert Nutter_ died, as this Examinate thinketh, this Examinate went to the house of _Thomas Redferne_, which was about Midsummer, as shee this Examinate now remembreth it: and there, within three yards of the East end of the said house, shee saw the said _Anne Whittle_ and _Anne Redferne_, wife of the said _Thomas Redferne_, and daughter of the said _Anne Whittle_, the one on the one side of a Ditch, and the other on the other side, and two pictures of Clay or Marle lying by them, and the third picture the said _Anne Whittle_ was making. And the said _Anne Redferne_, her said daughter, wrought her Clay or Marle to make the third picture withall. And this Examinate passing by them, a Spirit, called _Tibbe_, in the shape of a blacke Cat, appeared vnto her this Examinate and said, Turne backe againe, and doe as they doe. To whom this Examinate said, What are they doing? Whereunto the said Spirit said, They are making three pictures: whereupon shee asked, whose pictures they were? whereunto the said Spirit said, They are the pictures of _Christopher Nutter_, _Robert Nutter_, and _Mary_, wife of the said _Robert Nutter_. But this Examinate denying to goe backe to helpe them to make the pictures aforesaid, the said Spirit seeming to be angrie therefore, shot or pushed this Examinate into the Ditch; and so shedde the milke which this Examinate had in a Kanne, or Kitt; and so thereupon the Spirit at that time vanished out of this Examinates sight. But presently after that, the said Spirit appeared vnto this Examinate again in the shape of a Hare, and so went with her about a quarter of a myle, but said nothing vnto her this Examinate, nor shee to it. * * * * * _The Examination of_ MARGARET CROOKE Against _the said_ ANNE REDFERNE: _Taken the day and yeare aforesaid_, Before ROGER NOWEL _aforesaid, Esquire, one of his Maiesties Iustices of the Peace in the Countie of Lancaster._ This Examinate, sworne & examined vpon her oath, sayth, That about eighteene or nineteene yeares agoe, this Examinates brother, called _Robert Nutter_, about Whitsontide the same yeare, meeting with the said _Anne Redferne_, vpon some speeches betweene them they fell out, as this Examinats said brother told this Examinat: and within some weeke, or fort-night, then next after, this Examinats said brother fell sicke, and so languished vntill about Candlemas then next after, and then died. In which time of his sicknesse, he did a hundred times at the least say, That the said _Anne Redferne_ and her associates had bewitched him to death. And this Examinate further saith, That this Examinates Father, called _Christopher Nutter_, about Maudlintide next after following fell sicke, and so languished, vntill Michaelmas then next after, and then died: during which time of his sicknesse, hee did sundry times say, That hee was bewitched; but named no bodie that should doe the same.
