d in regard Amy Duny
is a woman of ill-fame, and commonly reported to be a witch and
sorceress, and for that the said child in her fits would cry out
of Amy Duny as the cause of her malady, and that she did
affright her with apparitions of her person (as the child in the
intervals of her fits related) he this deponent did suspect the
said Amy Duny for a witch, and charged her with the injury and
wrong to his child, and caused her to be set in the stocks on
the 28th of the same October: and during the time of her
continuance there, one Alice Letteridge and Jane Buxton

And further the said children being grievously afflicted would
severally complain in their extremity, and also in the

person and clothes they described) did thus afflict them, their
apparitions appearing before them, to their great terror and
affrightment: and sometimes they would cry out, saying, There
stands Amy Duny, and there Rose Cullender, the other person
troubling them.

Their fits were various, sometimes they would be lame on one
side of their bodies, sometimes on the other: sometimes a
soreness over their whole bodies, so as they could endure none
to touch them: at other times they would be restored to the
