Anonymous 249 is allegedly executed as a witch in Cambridge in the county of Cambridgshire in 1645. Proof of her crime is provided by the fact that she keeps "a tame Frogge in a Box for sport and Phantasie." This frog must have been read as her familiar; in owning a familiar she was by default a witch. (135)
