[16] Complaints against Eunice Cole for being a witch were made as early as 1656, and were continued till 1680, when she was up before the Quarter Court at Hampton, and committed on suspicion of being a witch. During most of this period she was a town pauper. Thirty-five depositions and other original papers relating to Eunice Cole’s case, from Sept. 4, 1656 to Jan. 7, 1673-4, are in _Mass. Archives_, vol. cxxxv. fol. 2-15. See also Drake’s _Annals of Witchcraft_, pp. 99-103. P. [17] In the printed text Gov. Hutchinson gives but four lines to the Morse case. Fuller details may be found in _Remarkable Providences_, pp. 101-111; _Magnalia_, vol. ii. pp. 450-452, and Drake’s _Annals_, pp. 144-150. In his Appendix (pp. 258-296), Mr. Drake has given depositions and other papers connected with the proceedings against Mrs. Morse. Other depositions, with a petition of Wm. Morse in behalf of his wife, are in _Mass. Archives_, vol. cxxxv. fol. 11-19. Mrs. Morse was convicted 20 May, 1680, and sentenced to be hanged. June 1, she was reprieved till the next session of the court. “Nov. 3. The deputies, on perusal of the acts of the honored court of assistants relating to the woman condemned for witchcraft, do not understand the reason why execution of the sentence given against her by the court is not executed, and that her second reprieval seems to us to be beyond what the law will allow, and do therefore judge meet to declare ourselves against it, with reference to the concurrence of the honored magistrates hereto.” This action was “not consented to by the magistrates.” (MS. memoranda in _Mass. Archives_, vol. cxxxv. fol. 18.) The deputies subsequently voted to give her a new trial; but the magistrates refused. Between this disagreement of the deputies and magistrates she escaped punishment. She was released from prison, but never acquitted or pardoned. P. [18] Caleb Powel was the name of the person implicated. P. [19] Magnalia. H. [20] John Russell, minister of Hadley (in whose house the regicides Whalley and Goff were long concealed), communicated this case to Increase Mather under date of August 2, 1683. It occurred the year before at Hartford. An abstract is in _Remarkable Providences_, pp. 112-114, and _Magnalia_, vol. ii. p. 452. The original account is printed in _Mather Papers_, pp. 86-88. P. [21] An account of the Walton case was furnished to Increase Mather by Joshua Moody, then minister at Portsmouth. (_Mather Papers_, p. 361.) The paper is given in _Remarkable Providences_, pp. 114-116, and _Magnalia_, vol. ii. p. 453.
