XI. William Stacy, Testified, That, receiving Money of this Bishop, for work done by him, he […] gone but a matter of Three Rods from her, and looking for his money, found it unaccountably gone from him. Some time after, Bishop asked him whether his Father would grind her gri•t for her? He demanded why? she Replied, Because Folks count me a witch. He answered, No Question, but he will grind it for you. Being then gone about six Rods from her, with a small Load in his Cart, suddenly the Off-wheel slumped and sunk down into an Hole upon plain ground, so that the Deponent, was forced to get help for the Recovering of the wheel. But stepping Back to look for the Hole which might give him this disaster, there was none at all to be found. Some time after▪ he was wake• ⟨p. 113⟩in the Night; but it seemed as Light as Day, and he perfectly saw the shape of this Bishop, in the Room, troubling of him; but upon her going out, all was Dark again. He charged Bishop afterwards with it: and she denied it not; but was very angry. Quickly after, this Deponent having been threatened by Bishop, as he was in a dark Night going to the Barn, he was very suddenly taken or lifted from the ground, and thrown against a stone wall; After that, he was again hoisted up and thrown down a Bank, at the end of his House. After this again, passing by this Bishop, his Horse with a small load, striving to Draw, all his Gears flew to pieces, and the Cart fell down; and this deponent going then to lift a Bag of corn, of about two Bushels; could not budge it, with all his might.
