Agnes Samuel is imprisoned at Huntingdon Gaol alongside her mother Alice Samuel until the Sessions held on January 9, 1593. On that day, Robert Throckmorton made a request to bail Agnes and have her live in his home to see "whether any such evidences of guiltinesse would appeare against her, as had before appeared in the children against the mother." The Justices were reluctant to grant Agnes bail, but Throckmorton managed to convince them by the afternoon.(61-62)

Dr. Dorington is visiting the Throckmorton children with a scholar from Cambridge while Robert Throckmorton is at the Huntingdon Assizes, and allegedly hears the children repeating "I am glad, I am glad, none so glad as I." He asks Robert Throckmorton Jr. to ask them why they are so glad, and Jane replies "we shal know within these two howers good newes." When asked when they will emerge from their fits, the girls say "Now by and by, and then we shall go well al of us into the hall, out of this parlor, and thence returning quickly y hither againe, we shall presently enter into another fitt like unto this, and then you shall heare newes."(62-63)

Jane, Mary and Grace Throckmorton emerge from their fits, as they had predicted. They immediately rise to check on their mother, Mistress Throckmorton, who is unwell and bedridden that day. All three then go into the parlour and immediately fall back into their fits and resume repeating "I am glad, I am glad, none so glad as I." This time, when asked to explain why they say that, they reply "Agnes Samuell should be brought to their fathers house from Huntington, and they should not heare Agnes Samuell as they did her mother, in their firts because their father should not trouble her with any mo questions, and so the spirit telleth them." After this, all three fall into contortions and, groaning, their bellies rise high. They emerge from this fit as if waking from sleep, and Jane says to the spirit tormenting them "farewell and be hanged." Dr. Dorington witnesses these events. (62-63)
