1603. London. Elizabeth Jackson sentenced, for bewitching Mary Glover, to four appearances in the pillory and a year in prison. John Swan, _A True and Breife Report of Mary Glover's Vexation_; E. Jorden, _A briefe discourse of ... the Suffocation of the Mother_, 1603; also a MS., _Marie Glover's late woefull case ... upon occasion of Doctor Jordens discourse of the Mother, wherein hee covertly taxeth, first the Phisitiones which judged her sicknes a vexation of Sathan and consequently the sentence of Lawe and proceeding against the Witche who was discovered to be a meanes thereof, with A defence of the truthe against D. J. his scandalous Impugnations_, by Stephen Bradwell, 1603. Brit. Mus., Sloane MSS., 831. An account by Lewis Hughes, appended to his _Certaine Grievances_ (1641-2), is quoted by Sinclar, _Satan's Invisible World Discovered_ (Edinburgh, 1685), 95-100; and hence Burton (_The Kingdom of Darkness_) and Hutchinson (_Historical Essay concerning Witchcraft_) assign a wrong date. 1603. Yorkshire. Mary Pannel executed for killing in 1593. Mayhall, _Annals of Yorkshire_ (London, 1878), I, 58. See also E. Fairfax, _A Discourse of Witchcraft_, 179-180. 1603. Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Ales Moore in gaol on suspicion. C. J. Palmer, _History of Great Yarmouth_, II, 70. 1604. Wooler, Northumberland. Katherine Thompson and Anne Nevelson proceeded against by the Vicar General of the Bishop of Durham. Richardson, _Table Book_, I, 245; J. Raine, _York Depositions_, 127, note. 1605. Cambridge. A witch alarm. Letters of Sir Thomas Lake to Viscount Cranbourne, January 18, 1604/5, and of Sir Edward Coke to Viscount Craybourne, Jan. 29, 1604/5, both in Brit. Mus., Add. MSS., 6177, fol. 403. This probably is the affair referred to in _Cal. St. P., Dom._, 1603-1610, 218. Nor is it impossible that Henry More had this affair in mind when he told of two women who were executed in Cambridge in the time of Elizabeth (see above, temp. Eliz., Cambridge) and was two or three years astray in his reckoning. 1605. Doncaster, York. Jone Jurdie of Rossington examined. Depositions in _Gentleman's M
