Margaret Byrom travels from Cleworth to Salford with Edmund Hartley, where Hartley is made to take her before two Justice of the Peace to take her testimony against him; she is struck speechless and cast backward to the ground three times. To explain, she alleges to see a great black dog with a monstrous tail and a chain in its mouth, which runs at her and casts her into the fire, keeping her from speaking but leaving her able to use her eyes and hands. A short time later, a large black cat stared at her, knocked her down once more, and took the use of her eyes and hands. A half hour later, she is visited by an apparition in the shape of a big mouse, which knocks her down and takes her tongue, eyes and senses. (Image 7)
