Jane Wallis is examined before Justice Robert Osborne, and confesses to having been visited six weeks before by a spirit in the shape of a man wearing black clothes.

Wallis noticed then that he had ugly feet. To her terror, he seemed to grow, then shrink, and vanished away. In his deposition, Edward Wingfield added that Blackeman appeared ancient; Wingfield claimed Wallis had confessed to him.(12)

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)
