relating, That a child of one _Wheeler_ being seized with strange
unaccountable fits, the mother goes to a _Cunning Man_, who advis’d
her to hang a bottle of the child’s water, mix’d with some of it’s
hair, close stopt over the fire, that the witch would thereupon come
and break it: Does not mention the success, but a poor old woman, in
the neighbourhood, was taken up, and the old trial by _Water Ordeal_
reviv’d. They dragg’d her, shivering with an ague, out of her house,
set her astride on the pomel of a saddle, and carried her about two
miles to a mill-pond, stript off her upper cloaths, tied her legs, and
with a rope about her middle threw her in, 200 spectators huzza-ing
and abetting the riot. They affirm she swam like a cork, tho’ forced
several times under water; and no wonder, for when they strained the
line, the ends whereof were held on each side of the pond, she must
of necessity rise; but by haling her from one bank to t’other, and
often plunging, she drank water enough, and when almost spent, they
poured in brandy to revive her, they drew her to a stable, threw her
on some litter in her wet cloaths, where in about an hour after she
expired. The coroner upon his Inquest cou’d make no discovery of the
ring-leaders, altho’ above 40 Persons assisted in the Fact, yet none of
them could be persuaded to accuse his Neighbour: so that they were able
to charge only 3 of them with Man-slaughter.
The like Credulity in witchcraft occasion’d a tragical Accident at a
Village near _Mortagne_ in _France_, in _December_ last. A Man of that
Village had been long ill of a Distemper which puzzled the Physicians;
whereupon his Wife believ’d he was bewitch’d, and consulted a pretended
Conjurer, who shew’d her the Wizard (her husband’s uncle) in a glass
of Water, and told her, that to oblige him to withdraw the Charm,
they must beat him, and burn the Soles of his Feet. On her Return she
sent for the Uncle, and notwithstanding his Protestations, with the
Assistance of her Relations, beat him unmercifully, and burnt the Soles
of his Feet, and the Crown of his Head in such a manner, that in two
Days after he died. The Woman and her Accomplices were seized; she
own’d the Fact, and said, if it was to do again, she would do it. _See_
p. 358.
Extraordinary Accidents, and Casualties.
A barbarous Murder was committed the 4th Inst. at Night, on _John
Williams_ Carpenter of _Cumback_ in _Radnorshire_, by stabbing him in
the Throat with a Knife, and beating out his Brains with an Ax: His
Door being left latch’d, and the Key in the thatch as usual, and no
Robbery committed. It was not discover’d till the 7th, when his only
Brother _William_ came, and in the presence of abundance of Neighbours,
owned the bloody Knife, which together with the washing of his bloody
Cloaths by his sweetheart the Night the Murder was committed, and
no body to get by his Brother’s death but himself, caus’d him to be
apprehended, and sent to _Presteign_ Goal; and his Sweetheart was bound
to appear against him. _See_ p. 178.
From _Dijon_ in France, ’tis written, that a Person having withdrawn
himself, his Relations charg’d one who was his sworn Enemy with his
murder, and examin’d him with such exquisite tortures, that, to shorten
them he confess’d the crime: whereupon he was broke alive, and two
others as his accomplices were hanged. The Man suppos’d to be murder’d,
soon after return’d home.
_Brussels 25._ O. S. About 2 o’Clock this morning, a dreadful fire
broke out in the Arch Dutchess’s palace, which with the goods and
furniture, and Royal Chapel were laid in ashes in less than 12 hours.
The Arch-Dutchess and her ladies only escap’d, almost all the Papers
and Records of State being consum’d.
_Bourdeaux, Jan. 24._ N. S. Forty monks dy’d here in one Night; upon
enquiry to discover the cause, a dead Viper was found in a Cask of
Wine they had regal’d themselves with, suppos’d to have come in at the
bung-hole.
_Morlaix_, in lower _Bretagne_, _Jan. 11._ N. S. By a fire which broke
out in the hospital, the whole town was burnt down; the People were
reduc’d to the greatest hardships.
Several nuns have dy’d suddenly at _Englen_, five leagues from
_Brussels_, their Bodies were open’d, but no marks of Contagion or
Poison appearing, some weak People believed it must be by witchcraft,
but they could not tell whom to accuse. However, the surviving sisters
quitted the Cloysters, and with the Bp.’s consent return’d to their
Friends.
_The following Narrative, given by a Gentleman of unexceptionable
Honour and Veracity, has been lately published at ~Edinburgh~._
One _William Sutor_, Aged about 37, a farmer in _Middle-mause_
(belonging to the Laird of _Balgown_ near _Craighal_,) being about
the month of _December_, 1728, in the fields with his servants, near
his own house, over-heard at some distance, as it were, an uncommon
skreeking and noise; and they following the Voice, fancied they saw a
dark gray-colour’d Dog; but as it was dark night, they concluded it was
a Fox, and accordingly were for setting on their Dogs: but it was very
observeable, that not one of them would so much as point his Head that
way.
About a month after, the said _Sutor_ being occasionally in the same
spot, and much about the same time of Night, it appear’d to him again,
and in passing, touched him so smartly on the Thigh, that he felt a
pain all that Night.
In _December_ 1729, it again cast up to him at about the same place,
and past him at some distance.
In _June_ 1730, it appeared to him as formerly: And it was now he began
to judge it was something extraordinary.
On the last _Monday_ of _Nov._ 1730, about sky-setting, as he was
coming from _Drumlochy_, this officious visiter passed him as formerly,
and in passing, he distinctly heard it speak these words, _Within eight
or ten days do or die_; and instantly disappear’d, leaving him not a
little perplex’d.
Next morning he came to his brother _James_’s house, and gave him a
particular account of all that had happen’d: And that night, about 10
of the clock, these two brothers having been visiting their sister at
_Glanballow_, and returning home, stept aside to see the remarkable
spot, where they had no sooner arriv’d, then it appear’d to _William_,
who pointing his finger to it, desired his brother and a servant who
was with them, to look to it; but neither of them could see any such
thing.
Next _Saturday_ evening, as _William_ was at his sheep-fold, it came
up to him, and audibly utter’d these Words _Come to the spot of ground
within, half an hour_. Whereupon he went home, and taking a Sword and
a staff in his hand, came to the ground, being at last determined
to see the Issue. He had scarce encircled himself with a line of
circumvallarion, when his troublesome familiar came up to him, he ask’d
it, _In the name of God, who are you?_ It answer’d, _I am David Sutor,
George Sutor’s Brother: I killed a Man, more than 35 years ago, at a
bush by East the road as you go into the Isle_. He said to it, _David
Sutor was a Man, and you appear as a Dog_. It answer’d, _I killed him
with a Dog, and am made to speak out of the mouth of a Dog: and I tell
you to go bury these Bones_.
This coming to the ears of the _Minister_ of _Blair_, the Lairds of
_Glascloon_ and _Rychalzie_, &c. about 40 Men, went together to the
said Isle; but after opening ground in several places, found no Bones.
On the 23d of _Decemb._ about midnight, when _William_ was in bed, it
came to his door, and said, _Come away: you will find the bones at the
side of the wither’d Bush, and there are but 8 left_; and told him at
the same time for a sign, that he would find the print of a Cross
impress’d on the Ground.
Next day _William_ and his brother, with about 40 or 50 people who had
conveen’d out of curiosity, came to the place, where they discover’d
the bush, and the cross by it; and upon digging the ground about a
foot down found the eight bones: All which they immediately wrapt in
clean linen, and being put in a coffin with a mort-cloth over it, were
interr’d that evening in the church-yard of _Blair_, attended by about
100 Persons.
N. B. _Several People in that Country remember to have seen this ~David
Sutor~; and that he listed for a Soldier, and went abroad about 34 or
35 years ago._
