A woman from Yowell in the county of Surrey, known to be the mother of Mary Farmer and a witness in the trial against Joan Buts, who gave deposition alleging that Buts had bewitched her daughter to death. Mrs. Farmer and her husband, Mr. Farmer, consulted with Dr. Bourn; he said their child was under an "ill tongue" and advised them to catch some of Mary's urine, close it in a bottle and bury it, then burn the girl's clothes, and that doing so would draw out the witch. When the Farmers did so, Joan Buts allegedly came into their home and sat on a stool looking ghastly, and when asked said that she had not been well in several weeks, and could not help coming to the house.
