Mary Moore speaks to her niece, Elizabeth Muschamp, about Margaret Muschamp's writing. They both agree that "Jo Hu. Do. Swo. have beene the death of one deare friend, consume another, and torment mee" can only mean that Dorothy Swinow is responsible for Margaret's torments and George Muschamp Jr.'s consumption. Elizabeth claims that Swinow came to visit Margaret once when Moore was away, and spoke harshly of Moore to the child.(8)

Mary Moore travels to Newcastle on business, accompanied by her trusted servant William Hall. Hall, noting her sadness, asks if she will confide confide in him the cause. Moore does so, revealing her suspicions about Dorothy Swinow being the cause of Margaret Muschamp's and George Muschamp Jr.'s afflictions. Moore allegedly takes care that "no living soule being by." She concludes her business and returns home to Spital. (6)

Margaret Muschamp, at home while Mary Moore journeyed to Newcastle, allegedly runs "up and downe with a staffe in her hand, saying she would kill the Rogue." She claims to have apprehended her good things while they are in the form of a dove and a partridge. She sings "Judgo and revenge my cause O Lord: Next, How long wilt thou forget me Lord; shall I never be remembred? And concluded, Behold and have regard, ye servants of the Lord," and on completion of her song emerges from her fit, claiming not to remember anything she had said or done while in it. She also claims that she did not know any of the psalms she recited prior to her fit. This is witnessed by numerous neighbors and relatives.(6)

Margaret Muschamp allegedly has a fit upon Mary Moore's return from Newcastle, in which she claims that "if she had two drops of his blood or hers, within ten dayes, it would save her life; if not death long comming, but torment perpetually." These fits occur daily, with Muschamp counting down the days as they progress. When she reaches three days, she writes again, weeping all the while, "JO. HU. DO. SVVI. hath been the death of one deare friend, consumes mother deare friend, and torments me," this time adding "two drops of his or her bloud would save my life, if I have it not I am undone, for seven yeares to be tormented before death come."(6-7)

Mary Moore allegedly sends her trusted servant William Hall to John Hutton in Sunderland, "one it was suspected that could do more then God allowed of." Hall bear a message bidding Hutton to reveal who had wronged Margaret Muschamp. Moore's message also threatens to have Hutton apprehended if he did not cooperate, on the grounds that Margaret had written the first two letters of his name along with another's.(7)

William Hall, servant to Mary Moore, receives a reply from John Hutton. Hutton allegedly tell him "your Mrs. knowes as well who hath wrong'd he[r] child as I: for the party that with a troubled minde your Mrs. had concealed all this time, and at Newcastle in her chamber all alone told you is she that hath done her all this wrong." Hutton then adds that it was Dorothy Swinow who bewitched Margaret Muschamp and caused all of Moore's other troubles.(7)

Mary Moore allegedly travels to meet with John Hutton herself after receiving his reply, accompanied by numerous others including William Hall, Edward Moore, George Armorer and Elizabeth Muschamp. Hutton recognizes them and knows all their names, despite only having met Hall previously. Moore demands to know how he knew what she had confided privately in Hall; Hutton only repeats the message he had sent prior, that Dorothy Swinow is the cause of Margaret Muschamp's bewitchment and her other troubles. When she tells him of George Muschamp Jr.'s illness and her cousin Lady Margery Hambleton's demise, Hutton accuses Swinow of causing those as well.(7-8)

Mary Moore allegedly demands two drops of blood from John Hutton. He attempts unsuccessfully to convince her to allow him to let his blood privately. Margaret Muschamp pricks him six times on his forehead, but no blood appeared. Hutton offers his right arm after Moore threatens to take his heart's blood; he lays a thumb on his arm and blood wells up from the spot. Muschamp soaks up the drops with a piece of paper she had written on during once of her trances. (7-8)

John Hutton, after Margaret Muschamp takes two drops of his blood, allegedly bids Mary Moore and her party to "ride softly, they had both tide and time enough, it being a fine quiet day." Yet, "of a sudden as soon as they were on horse back it grew very boystrous" and they have difficulty remaining ahorse in the foul weather. They are forced to hurry to Bambrough to take shelter and cross deep water to get there.(8)

Mary Muschamp allegedly falls into a rapture in which she claims that her angels have bid her to speak out. Echoing John Hutton, she accuses Dorothy Swinow of causing the death of her aunt the Lady Margery Hambleton, consuming her brother George Muschamp Jr. and her own torments. Muschamp also accuses Swinow of causing James Fauset, whose sister had married Hambeton's son, to suffer unnatural fits in an attempt to kill him so that his sister would inherit instead. She claims Swinow stopped tormenting Fauset when Swinow turned her attention to Muschamp and her family.(9)

Margaret Muschamp claims that the two drops of blood taken from John Hutton saved her from "seaven yeares in torment without any ease, or death had come." She allegedly falls into a two-hour rapture in which she converses with her angels, and emerges from this conversation with the insistence that her brother George Muschamp Jr. also required two drops of John Hutton's blood in order to live. Her stepfather Edward Moore and Moore's seven children witness this, as does her cousin Elizabeth Muschamp and numerous neighbours and friends of the family.(9)

George Lee's ship is allegedly nearly thrown off course by a "fearfull tempest" when entering Barwick Harbour; he is journeying to to Spital to see Margaret Muschamp in her raptures. John Hutton is blamed for raising the storm.(9)

Mary Moore fetches John Hutton back to Spital after Margaret Muschamp insists that Hutton's blood will save her brother George Muschamp Jr. Hutton comes quietly and allows Moore to take his blood; she holds Hutton in her custody after.(9-10)

John Hutton, in Mary Moore's custody, alleges to Edward Moore that Dorothy Swinow has "two bad women about her, the Millers and the Websters Wives, who had beene the death of Jo. CUSTERD and his Wife, with many other things of their wickednesse." He refuses to give any more information to either Edward or Mary Moore when they try to question him further.(9-10)

Margaret Muschamp allegedly has a fit soon after John Hutton is allowed to leave the Moore household; she is said to have been free of them for the entire duration of Hutton's stay. In this fit, she echos Hutton's claims once more, saying "DOROTHT SVVINOVV with two Witches more were come to torment her worse then ever HUTTON did, and the one was a yong woman, and the other an old: So that till they had Justice of DOROTHY SVVINOVV, her mother and they should never be at peace."(10)

Mary Moore, hearing Margaret Muschamp's renewed accusations against Dorothy Swinow and her claim that John Hutton, too, has been tormenting her, travels to Nuham and gives information against both Swinow and Hutton to Judge Foster. Foster, after some delay, has Hutton apprehended and sent to Newcastle Gaol. He refuses to have Swinow apprehended.(10)

Margaret Muschamp allegedly has numerous tormenting fits after John Hutton's imprisonment, which she claims are caused by two witches; she relates the details of the witches to Mary Moore so Moore can copy them down on paper. Her fits end when her angels banish the witches.(11)

Margaret Muschamp allegedly predicts John Hutton's death in prison during one of her tormenting fits. She claims that, had he lived, he would have revealed the identities of the two witches that have been tormenting her, and makes numerous other predictions thereafter.(11)
