285 | A woman from London, who was indicted at the Old Bailey on charges of performing witchcraft and several diabolical acts, including the alleged murder of Elizabeth Chamblet, whom she is said to have bewitched to death, and of the bewitchment of the girl's mother, Mrs. Chamblet. Mr. Chamblet also alleged in court that she had bewitched his swine after he refused to sell her two without first being paid. Prior to the proceedings, Kent was searched by a woman (Anonymous 128) who gave deposition that Kent had a witch's teat on her back, and strange holes behind her ears. Nonetheless, she was able to provide evidence that she had lived an honest life, and thus was found not guilty of witchcraft.(3-4)
