The regular assize courts had nothing to do with the matter. The case at Faversham in Kent was unusual. Joan Cason was indicted for bewitching to death a three-year-old child. Eight of her neighbors, seven of them women, "poore people," testified against her.
My last petition, good Cuntrymen, forget me: Your memories wound deeper then your mallice, And I forgive ye all. A litle stay me.
