A man from Lowestoft in the county of Suffolk, known to be a yeoman, who gave deposition alleging that his cart was bewitched after it hit Rose Cullender's window and she, irate at the damage, threatened Soam. This cart overturned two or three times that day and stuck in the town gate despite having more than enough clearance, forcing Soam to have a gatepost cut down to free it. Once he managed to get the cart into the yard, he could not get it near the place where he needed to unload his corn. When he and others tried to unload it well away from the place, it proved to be a great and tiring labour. They were forced to stop when people who came to help all developed sudden nosebleeds. The next morning, Soam returned to the cart and was able to unload it without any trouble at all.(51-54)
