Nicholas and his wife, after several appearances in court on account of a suspicion of witchcraft, and for various other offenses--among them, lying and filthy speeches by the wife--were advised to remove from the colony. They took the advice. WILLIAM MEAKER. New Haven, 1657. Accused acquitted. Thomas Mullener was always in trouble. He was a chronic litigant. His many contentions are noted at length in the court records. Among other things he made up his mind that his pigs were bewitched, so "he did cut of the tayle and eare of one and threw into the fire," "said it was a meanes used in England by some people to finde out witches," and in the light of this porcine sacrifice he charged his neighbor William Meaker with the bewitching. Meaker promptly brought an action of defamation, but Mullener became involved in other controversies and "miscarriages," to the degree that he was advised to remove out of the place, and put under bonds for good behavior; and Meaker, probably feeling himself vindicated, dropped his suit. _New Haven Colonial Records_ (2: 224). ELIZABETH GARLICK. Easthampton, 1658. Acquitted. _Records Particular Court_ (2 :113); _Colonial Records of Connecticut_ (1: 573); STILES' _History of Windsor_ (p. 735). Account in previous chapter. NICHOLAS and MARGARET JENNINGS. Saybrook, 1661. Jury disagreed. The major part of the jury found Nicholas guilty, but the rest only strongly suspected him, and as to Margaret, some found her guilty, and the others suspected her to be guilty. It is probable that the Jennings were under inquiry when, at a session of the General Court at Hartford, June 15, 1659, it was recorded that "Mr. Willis is requested to goe downe to Sea Brook, to assist ye Maior in examininge the suspitions about witchery, and to act therin as may be requisite." _Records Particular Court_ (2: 160-3); _Colonial Records of Connecticut_ (1: 338). 1662-63 was a notable year in the history of witchcraft in Connecticut. It marked the last execution for the crime within the commonwealth, and thirty years before the outbreak at Salem. NATHANIEL GREENSMITH and REBECCA his WIFE. Hartford, 1662. Both executed. Account in previous chapter. _Records Particular Court_ (2: 182); _Memorial History Hartford County_ (1: 274); _Connecticut Magazine_ (November 1899, pp. 557-561). MARY SANFORD. Hartford, 1662. Convicted June 13, 1662. Executed. _Records Particular Court_ (2: 174-175); HOADLEY'S _Record Witchcraft Trials_. ANDREW SANFORD. Hartford, 1662. No indictment. _Records Particular Court_ (2: 174-175); HOADLEY'S _Record Witchcraft Trials_. JUDITH VARLETT (VARLETH). Hartford, 1662. Arrested; released. It will be recalled that Rebecca Greensmith in her confession, among other things, said that Mrs. Judith Varlett told her that she (Varlett) "was much troubled wth ye Marshall Jonath: Gilbert & cried, & she sayd if it lay in her power she would doe him a mischief, or what hurt shee could."
