Elizabeth Brooker of Hointon, Devon is treated by a midwife for a severe pain in her leg after she turns a woman, who had been begging for pins, away. The midwife applies plasters, and many other cures, but none relieve the pain. (66, 67, 68, 69)

A woman, allegedly a witch, approaches Elizabeth Brooker, a servant of Mistress Heiron (who worked in her mercer's shop), and asks her for a pin. The woman is unsatisfied with Brooker's gift of a pin from her sleeve, wanting a specific one, leaves in a "great Fume and Rage, and told the Maid, she should hear farther from her, she would e'er long wish she had given her the Pin she desired; with many threatning Speeches."(66, 67, 68, 69)

Mr. Salter, a "skilful Apothecary" in Honiton, Devon, is called in to provide treatment for Elizabeth Brooker's severe leg pain. He evidently "advised them well, whose Counsel they followed, but all in vain."(66, 67, 68, 69)
