John Browne gave deposition before Justice John Castell alleging that he had met John Clarke Jr. on the road, and that Clarke told him he was heading to Keyson because he and his parents had been accused of witchcraft. Browne told Clarke that he, too, had been accused, and that the searchers said they had found marks on him. According to Browne, Clarke claimed to have cut off his marks three days before his own searching. Clarke then became suspicious, telling Browne that he didn't believe him to be a witch as he had not seen him at any meetings. Browne said his meetings were in different places, and they parted.(13-14)

John Clarke Jr. alleges during his examination by Justice John Castell that he overtook a man and three women on the road to Keyston the previous Sunday, but denied saying anything to them about cutting off witch's marks, meeting any witches or making a compact with the Devil. (13)
