| Anonymous 171 | One of a jury of women who search Doll Bilby and Alice Huson for witch's marks on April 27th, 1644, in the Parish of Burton Agnes in the County of York.(55-56) | When I came to the Door, to go to Church, Doll. Bilby (who as we supposed had been with Alice Huson) came by, whereupon I staid still, and let her pass by, observing her Gesture; and when she came against the Window of the Chamber where my Daughter lay, she turned about, and looked up at the Window; and immediately my Daughter cried out, she is there; and giving a great Screek, fell again into her Fits, crying out, her Heart was quite gone. On Monday 25 of April, Bilby came again to Town, (She lived at Thorne Hotime, which is in the same Parish of Burton Agnes) and had Conference with Huson, as Huson confessed. But my Daughter fell so ill again, continually blaming them, and saying they had too much Liberty, that that Night I got them Secured, the 26th Examined, the 27th, Searched, the 28th, Re-examined, and Alice Huson Confessed; and the 29th, Bilby Examined again, upon Huson's Confession, and both sent to the Gaol.() |
