Rose Cullender and Amy Denny are jointly indicted at the assizes held at Bury St. Edmonds in Suffolk. The trial is presided over by Sir Matthew Hale, Lord Chief Baron of His Majesties Court of Exchequer, and lasts four days. They are charged with bewitching Elizabeth Durent, Ann Durent, Jane Bocking, Susan Chandler, William Durent, Elizabeth Pacy, and Deborah Pacy.(1)

Doll Bartham is arraigned before the Lord Chief Justice of England at S. Edmondsbury in Suffolk and condemned for the bewitchment of Joan Jorden. She is executed on July 12, 1599.(92)

Anne Durent, Susan Chandler and Elizabeth Pacy allegedly arrive at Bury St. Edwards for the trial of Rose Cullender and Amy Denny in good health, but the morning of the trial fall into violent fits accompanied by shrieking and are thus rendered unable to give deposition before the court. When they finally recover, all three are said to be struck dumb for the duration of the trial.(4-5)

Dorothy Durent is allegedly cured of her lameness at the moment Amy Denny is pronounced guilty of witchcraft. She is seen to return home without the use of her crutches.(13-15)

Elizabeth Pacy is brought to court to give indictment against Amy Denny for Denny's alleged bewitchment of Elizabeth and her younger sister Deborah, but Pacy is unable to speak and lays senseless and motionless on a cushion at court. Although she is said to have come to herself after a while, she can neither see nor speak.(15-16)

Sir Matthew Hale, the judge presiding over the court, instructs that Amy Denny to be privately brought before Elizabeth Pacy. Though Pacy is in an insensible state and her eyes are shut, she reacts immediately when Denny touches her hand, leaping up and scratching Denny until she draws blood. Pacy must be removed from Denny, and thereafter continues to make angry motions in Denny's direction.(16-17)

Dr. Thomas Browne of Norwich gives deposition in court as an expert witness. In his opinion, Elizabeth Pacy, Deborah Pacy, Elizabeth Durent, Ann Durent, Jane Bocking and Susan Chandler are indeed bewitched, citing a recent Danish example of witchment. He claims that bewitchment is menstrual hysteria that has been heightened by the Devil in cooperation with witches.(44-45)

Susan Chandler is allegedly called into the court to give deposition against Rose Cullender, but falls into a fit and must be carried out. Struck dumb, the only words she can get out are "burn her." (41-42)

Sargent Earl, Sargent Banard, and Sargent Keeling attend Amy Denny and Rose Cullender's trial; Sargent Keeling is said to be dissatisfied with with evidence presented. While convinced the children were indeed possessed, he is not convinced that Denny and Cullender were responsible, and argued that prosecuting based on the imaginings of the afflicted puts everyone in danger for then anyone could imagine a crime and accuse an innocent party. Keeling particularly objected to Elizabeth Pacy's reaction to Denny's touch while blindfolded being taken as proof of bewitchment.(43)

Richard Spencer gives deposition in court claiming that he overheard Amy Denny say that "the Devil would not let her rest until she were Revenged" on Ann Sandeswell.(55)

The Jury finds Amy Denny and Rose Cullender guilty on thirteen counts of witchcraft and Justice Matthew Hale sentences them to hang. The date of execution is set for March 17, 1662. Though they are urged to confess prior to their execution, both refuse. Hale was later revealed to be hesitant to acquit or pardon, lest he countenance a disbelief in witchcraft, and thus in Christianity.(59-60, 61-62)

The morning after Rose Cullender and Amy Denny are sentenced, Samuel Pacy, Elizabeth Pacy, Deborah Pacey, Mary Chandler and Susan Chandler visit the home of Lord Chief Baron Matthew Hale. All three children are allegedly in good health, though Susan is said to still be thin and wan. Samuel Pacy reports that his daughters were restored to their speech and health within half an hour of the convictions. Susan Chandler allegedly had pains in her stomach that night, however. (60-61)
