WITCHCRAFT.

QUEEN S-SQUAlZ.—Yesterday a singular instances
of cunning and ciedulity.occurred at this office.—
Margaret Connor, a modern enchantress, aged. 22
years, Was chetg-ed with defrauding 'a yOurig_wornan,
named Anderson, of varicus'artiales of wearing ap-
p:irei; by pretended spells and magical illesions.—
The prosecutrix stated, that she re.,aded in Gueen'sa
street, Windmill-street ; about four months since .*
The prisoner applied to her for a lodging, and was
admitted in the house; when Mrs. Connor hadmot
been more than five :weeks in her new situation be-
fore ilia gained the Contieence of Anderson, Who
Tcenmiunicated many. particulars respelling ,a young
anskii who paid his addresses- to her. The prisoner
Olin formed the design, not only of depriving the
'prbseCutrix-01 herlover, but her property.. In the
first she obtained Complete success, and aelually
'Married the man, while Anderson imagined he was
'courting_ her as usual.- Tne prisoner's 'twat attemat
was-made at the pour girl's clothes ; -she commelieed I
beatrauds -by a pretended knowledge of nearomaircy,
and what she termed the Black zlrt. Ratio g per-
suaded her that her, lever was iticonstoet, she andar•
took to tell who would be her husband; „Lei !_aat
purpose placed a poker and tones..ac.os, tine
bed.- This being repeated saveral nigets,
ing the charm .would not answer, she co, er.c
cloth in formeof ling.% and placed them' ee Tao
same spot. These things were generally aa.iee in the
morning, and the prisoner.aeld her it wais an .oirte3,,
of ill luck. She then had recoutie to a tea-cup6llo'
‘iithgancl, surrounded with 'Linthernwoed; the .cep
and its ingredients,- were. p=aged .-on 'a 'Shelf; -a Cale
'eras also -made nfapretended materials; but - not-
withstanditig thefoice of this pretended charm, she
told the proseCutri;Lethae it. would not produce thee
efiea, because -tile z.pparitiora,of a young Mart
was in the room ; it was dark, anckshe informed het
that ;the spirit wanted Somtilti'ng out of her box,
therefore. the box was to opened and the clothe"
spread on a table. rtle prosectitria consented, aticl
'the things Were left on the table; they 'conaisted' e
_gowns,. petticoats, capae and other'. articles _-Werth
aOl. In the.morning these things -Were pile, and
the prisoner told her that the apparition had takea
them to a castle in Devonshire, inhabited by a sal'
tana, -audit- she a:temptea to reveal it she wboldi)es,
turned into a fish, and 't he. house and sheet destroyed.
Fearful of the consegticnceß which she had-been rOl4 .
\you!d ensue if she it:Neater, the secret, she did 00t
speak of -it for neat' eleven weeti 3 during this
the same spirit ordereeher to 'sleep out; -pod 015"):
on her return home in the morning found sornethi°s
missing from her. apartment.. One -niglieshe Was
ordered to sit up and keep watch br the spirit as 6
piinishtnent, unless alie would pay a sum- olmoneYo
and under the dread of saeaieg thiS demon of decer
tion, she was forcecl.to give the sum requested.-'
These impositions might have continued longer, bii,t
very hartunately the proseentria discovered 'the
soner's marriage with the man berbre-mentioned'
and soon recovered from her delusion. SheAhen
applied to the Magisti'atea, and the prisoner 'WO
aaketi'..into custody, who, in her defence, acknow'
ledged that the above statement was true, and.thl
she haTralsorted to these impcsitjons for the pure'
