[32] The Trial of Susanna Martin is given in the _Wonders_ (Vol. i.) Pages 175-187; that of Elizabeth How, Pages 188-194; that of Rebecca Nurse in _Records of S. W._ i. 76-99; Vol. ii. 215; of Sarah Wilds of Topsfield, _Ibid_, ii, 180-182, 215; Sarah Good; _Ibid_, 11-24; ii, 214-15. The Partiality in the Wonders is elsewhere noticed. [33] The Trial of Sarah Good was one of a singularly revolting Character. Her own Daughter, named Dorothy, was one of the Witnesses against her. Said her Mother "had three Birds, one black, one yellow, and that these Birds hurt the Children and afflicted Persons."--_Records S. W._ i, 23. Her own Husband gave her a very bad Character, but said he knew nothing of her being a Witch. The Story of the broken Knife, I do not remember seeing in the _Records_. It was probably suppressed. Samuel Abbey and Mary his Wife, aged about 45 and 38, respectively, testified that William Good and his Wife Sarah, being destitute of a House to dwell in, they took them in out of Charity; but about two years and a half before, were obliged to turn them out "for quietness sake, the said Sarah was of so turbulant a Sperritt, spitefull and mallitiously bent." Whereupon the said Abbey in about two years lost 17 head of Cattle, besides Sheep and "Hoggs."--_Records_, _ib._ 24-5. See also Mr. Upham's _Lectures on Witchcraft_. [34] The Names of the Jurors are not recorded. John Ruck was the Foreman, Brother-in-law, I suppose of Mr. Burroughs. [35] It is much to be regretted that the Author found it necessary to exclude such Documents. The Paper referred is of special regret. [36] What has been preserved of the Trials of these Persons, will be found in Vol. i, and in the _Records_ before cited. [37] "I was present when these things were testified against him, and observed that he could not make any Plea for himself (_in these Things_) that had any Weight: He had the Liberty of Challenging his _Jurors_, before empannelling, according to the _Statue_ in that Case, and used his Liberty in Challenging many; yet the Jury that were _Sworn_ brought him in Guilty."--Lawson, _Second Edition_, 115. Mr. Burroughs' Trial is fully given in Vol. i, 152-63. It is not among the Records, for the Reason, probably, that it had been given to Mr. Mather to use, and was never returned. His Examination was before Stoughton, Hathorne, Sewall and Corwin. The following are the Names of the Men appointed to search him for Teats: Edward Welch, William Gill, Zeb. Hill, Thomas Flint, Thomas West, Samuel Morgan and John Bare, as Printed in the _Records_, ii, 112. They reported no "Tetts" upon Mr. Burroughs. Ann Putnam's Testimony was ingenious, and as damning as any _Infernal Spirit_ could have desired. See _Records_, _ib._ 113-116. Mather does not give it, but says such things were evidenced; as that he had murdered sundry People. See Remarks of Mr. Upham, _Lectures_, 55. [38] A misprint, probably, for _Nashaway_.
