| Anonymous 109 | A man (Anonymous 109) from Dorwich in the county of Norfolk, described as a jailer who imprisoned a suspected witch (Anonynous 107). He denied her food and water until she would bless the child (which she did). He also acted as a witness at her trial.(51) | The Gaoler in the mean time suspecting that she had Bewitched the Boy, would not let her have either Meat or Drink, unless she would first say the Lord's Prayer, and bid God bless the Boy; which at last her Hunger forced her to do; and it appeared to be at the same instant, as near as could be guessed, that the Boy had his Speech restored to him. The Boy asked the Gaoler, why he did not keep her faster, but let her come out and trouble him? The Gaoler answered, he had kept her very safe.() |
