WITCHCRAFT IN THE PRESENT DAY.

The following letter has been addressed to the
Editor of the Times :

Sir,—l send you the particulars of an application
made to myself, as a magistrate, for an order to
have a witch " proved." All was written down by
me at the time, and, as the date—last November
—will prove, long before the trial on witchcraft
which you lately reported and remarked upon. The
belief in witchcraft is very general among the poor,
and not uncommon in a class above them. Mere
ability to read and write does not counteract it.
The believers in this case are very fairly educated,
in a manner, ,but they still receive with unreasoning
credulity the old wives' fables, handed down, as the
applicant told me, "from generation to genera-
tion," and kept alive, no doubt, in each actual in-
stance by knaves making their harvest of fools. In
Mr. Anderson's interesting work, " Like Gnami,"
there are passages which are true of my own neigh-
bourhood, though written of savages, e. g._-"The
Nam:l(lms, like most nations who are sunk in bar-
barism, have great faith in sorceries, and male and
female witch-doctors play conspicuous parts. They
aro crafty creatures, and know how to take advan-
tage of popular ignorance." Again—" Dealers in
the black art are numerous among the Bechuanas,
who place implicit confidence in the prescriptions
of wizards," &c. No Namaqua or Bechuana re-
cipe can surpass my friend's mixture of " Lig,
prop. ammon , noddlehair, toenails, fingernails,
horse-shoenails ; quant. suff."
Thus barbarism and civi►isation have alike their
" cute coons," favouring the darkness in which
they fatten, to counteract whom should be the aim
of those educational projects which we aro so much
discussing. It must he useful at starting to sound
the real depths of common ignorance, and, if my
communication will contribute towards it, you may
depend on its correctness.
I am, yours very obediently,

April 3.

"November 17, 1856. •
"J. 8., who farms about 40 acres of land in the
parish of ilockham, makes application to Mr. --,
magitrate, as foams :
" J. B —Your worship, I come to ask your advice
conc,,rning of my wife.
" Mr. —.—What's the matter ?
" J. B.—Why, your worship, she's harassed about
n;ght and day—continual worrying—like wind teasing
her stomach, and like a sow with all her young pigs a-
pulling her to pieces.
" Mr. don't see what I can do for that. Why
don': you send for a doctor
"J. B.—Doctor, Sir ! 'We've been to all the doctors
about. We've spent every shilling to get remedy. All
my family know it, poor dears. We're wholly done up.
" Mr. ---Still I don't see how I can help you.
" J. B.—Well, Sir, it's thought by many people in
the parish that my wife's bewitched ; that it's put upon
her by evil disposed persons through envy. There's a
farnily named L—, who got turned out when we was
pat in, and we think it's through them that they set old
Mrs. C. to do it:
" Mr. —.--Who is Mrs. C. ?
"J. B.—She's an old woman, your worship, who live
near the Lion, and she have the character of being a
witch, and I thought I'd step down and ask your wor-
ship whether you would give me a grant to have her
proved.

" Mr. —.—How is she to be proved ?
" J. B.—Why, Sir, I thought you could have •her
swum. I've heard say that, it they be witches, and if
you tAke a line (not to do them any harm, hut just to
swim 'em), then, if they be witches they won't sink.
I've heard say that there was a g-mtlernan at who
had one scum in the river, I don't know rx ictly how
it finished, but I heard she didn't live long after it. He
bad it done right public. Her name was Pointer. They
tied her clothes about her legs and used her decent. She
had a line put round her waist, and one on each side, to
keep her from sinking if she was an upright woman ;
but if she's a witch they can't sink her no how. Old Mr.
L—, who done it, jumped upon her, but couldn't sink
her no how ; when her head was down her heels was up,
and when her heels was down her head was up. They
do say, your worship, that sick folks are increased
about in the world, and if you have so many as even one
in this or any other parish, they do a sight of harm. Al-
most every one who sees my wife says they never seed
such a complaint, and call out that she's certainly be-
witched. She tare (appear) hunted ❑ight and day. She
fare dried up like a crisp. She say Will, I can't lie
still—l might as well try to sink a bladder iu water.' 1
do hope your worship will grant the police to take old
Mrs. C. all of a sudden—by surprise like—and take her
to a pit, and swim her (not to hurt her). If she'ei an up-
right woman she'll sink, and if she don't sink it'll prove
her guilty.
" Mr. --.—According to this shs won't gain.much
even if she is upright.' But now, 8., seriously, how
can you believe such nonsense I
" (Here followed an argument, in which be brought
forward the witch of Endor, the demoniac, of the New
Testament, &c. It ended in the applicant being appa-
rently ' convinced against his will,' and, therefore, of
the same opinion still.'
"J. B. (returning to the charge).—Well, your wor-
ship, at least I hope you'll take her to a room, and have
her stripped, and see if she have anything bad about her,
" Mr.--.—What is she likely to have bad about
her !

" J. B.—Why, sir, some say that they hale imps
about them, but I don't know.

" Mr. --.—What is an imp ?
"J. B.—l don't know, sir, unless it be some bad
spirit or other from the power of old Satan ; but I ne-
ver seed one.

" Mr.--.—But now tell me why you fix upon this
poor old woman Mrs. C-- in particular I

" J. B. I'll tell your worship how we come at it. My
wife was advised to send for the woman ---, of --,
who is wonderful clever in these things. She came and
told us to take souse particular liquid and put it in a
bottle with some of the hairs cut of the noddle of my
wife's neck, and the parings of her finger and toe nails
(these we cut quite close) and some old horseshoe nails.
(These, you see, Sir, are little schemes which go from
ono generation to another, there's always something to
be learned out of the weakest and ignorantest).
sir, we put the bottle on the fire, and we waits while it's
boiling and burning, and what not ; and when it bursts

we look out of the window, and the evil-disposed person
stands before us. Last Friday night was a month that
my wife did this ; and after she done it she got out of
bed, as she do sometimes, to take a drop of drink or a
little magnesia, and she looked out of the window, and
there she saw the woman C— standing before the
window, at a most uusealable hour, in the moonlight, in
an agony surt of sate.
" Mr —.—What became of her ?
"J. B.—l don't know, air ;my wife got into bed, and
I suppose some one come and took the woman away.
We have not seen her since, but our girl says that she
has heard her rattling at the door.
"Mr. I can't listen any more to such
nonsense.

"J. B.—Ask the squire's gamekeeper, sir, and ask
Tom T., steady, not fast-talking men. Let the squire
call these men before him. Give me thorn writings if
you please, sir, and let me take them to the clergyman
and the squire. We wished to come to you first.
Mr. —.—l have merely been writing down what
you said, but you must not trouble the squire about
such rubbish.

c,J. B.—Sir, if our squire knew that there was any
such bad things as witchcraft in the parish, ho would
have it altered ; because, you know, air, I have to pay
the rates and taxes, hard and fast.

" Mr. really can't listen to you any longer.
"J. B.—What, sir! arn't you going to save it proved?
Can't you at any rate have her hitched to the Union
House That might be a benefit.

"Mr. make inquiries, and will do wha
is advisable."

[Exit applicant, protesting acainst anything short of
full proof by "swimming her."]
The district policeman has since informed me that on
a certain night he was asked by J. B. to come and
watch his premises, under pretence that his ducks were
stolen. He did so, but discovered afterwards that they
were " working their spell," and they wanted him to see
the witch appear. He saw no one. Tne old woman C.
is harmless and respectable, and so infirm that she can-

not possibly have bsen so far as J. B.'s house for a very
long time past. The "bewitched" woman herself has
since described to rue what she saw—viz., the woman
G—, " whinnying" like a dog shut up, not barking
nor howling, but "whinnying," and moving her hands
like a dog's paws when sitting up. Mrs. B— told me
that she knew all her afflictions to come from God, but
she does not under4tand why He sends such persons as
the witch to witness them. A few days afterwards I
was in a cottage in an adjoining parish, when I
made some observation about " the strange things
that people believed even in these days," to which
the woman of the cottage replied that she supposed I
was alluding to Mrs. B—, of D—, and to her be-
ing bewitched. I said that I was thinking of that.
" Mrs. F--.—Well, sir, there certainly is such
things.

" Mr. F (her husband).—There certainly is.
"Mrs. F----.—Why, sir, only last Monday was a
week, that their witch sent poor Mrs. B— up to the
top of the house, and then up the haystack, and then
on to the horse', and made her even follow the plough
on them. 'Twas all done first from jealousy. The peo-
ple who could not have the land were determined that
those who did get it should not enjoy it, and so they
set this old witch to disturb them.

"Mr. -.--But I am told that Mrs. G- is a
lost harmless, inoffensive woman.

"Mrs. F—.—Ab, sir, that's where they overcome
and fond, with their Judish tongue to
betray people
• and they come asking for butter, and
cheese, and milk, and all such things, and no one dares
people—so
loving,

to deny them.
-
"Mr. Mrs. C- is so infirm that she
could not possibly have got so far as B----'s farm.
"Mrs. F. God knows. It was either
she or her shadow. I should not like to have anything to

do with such ; and Mr. B—'s mistake on that there
Fri.'ay night was that he spoke to her. If he hadn't
spoke to her she'd have died, and then they'd have ben
rid of her. I suppose, Sir, you've heard of Mrs. S
case—the wife of S—, the sheep-dresser, of G—
"Mr. I have not beard of it.
" Mrs.P--.—No more had I, Sir, till a few days ago,
when my neighbour, Mrs. P—, asked me Have you
heard, says she, 'that the man S— of G— has kilt
a woman ?" Kilt a woman ?' says Yes,' says she—
' a witch.' And then I heard all about it, just as the

man S- himself had told Mrg. P---'s husband the
day before, and. the whole thing has only lately hap.
pened. . .

" Mr. is it ?

"Mrs. F.—Well, Sir, this man A— S—'s wife
Was bewitched by a-woman that lived next door to' her,
and so was his pigs, and pony, and other things. He
could never get his pony out of the stable unless she
chose to move the spell. (I suppose they have such
power to stop things in that way, and to set them free.)
His wife, when she went to get into bed, was set fast, so
that she could move neither one way nor another. She
would half dress herself, and then could not get the things
either more on or cif. Her husband was advised to go
to the cunning woman at M--. He went. As soon
as she saw him come in she said, 'I know wbo you are
and what you're come about. You are bewitched at
home.' Sho then went into another room and brought
cut some large draughts (drawings.) She showed him
one, and said, Do you know that cottage ?" Yes,
that's mine.' `Yes, and here lives the woman that has
bewitched you, with her daughter ; and here's her face
(likeness). Go you home, and as 830 a as you get home
they will come in ; but don't 'you speak to them, nor
don't let your wife spealc ; and if neither of you speak
she will go home and die ' The man S--- went home.
The witch came as usual and began to talk to them.
Neither spoke. She got up in an agony, went into her
cottage, and dropped dead.* Her daughter then came
in to them. Unluckily, they spoke to her, and there-
fore she did not die, as she certain.), would have done.
That's the mistake that the other man B—, of —,
made ; he spoke to the witch.

ei Mr. ._What a wonderful story ! He certainly
kilt his witch,' as your neighbour says.
4, mt.,. F.--.—Yes, sir ; he did. I could tell you
why she first set about bewitching him, for they was at
one time friends. Mr. S. has not been married very
long. When he was married he gave a party, and in-
vited this woman and her daughter. He was silly
enough to give all the company jalap in their drink, and
then lock them in. These two were dreadfully offended,
and nothing went right with him afterwards. Since ber
death the man's wife has been all right, and so hai
everything else.

Mrs.-- do you seriously believe
such things, or do you not think that God rules the
world ?

" Mrs.----.---I do believe that there are these bad-
sp.rited people, sir. Ladies and gentlemen don't often
hear much about such things. I believe that the Al-
mighty gives them up ; and that, as we pray for grace
and wisdom and strength to serve Ilim, so these peiople
pray to the enemy to give them power to do these evil
things. God has promised his help to the smallest
believer who hangs on him ; and, they pray to the devil
to give them their badness, and he gives it to them ; and
he (the devil) has as much power over these people as
the' Almighty have over His own.

" Mr.--.—But, Mrs. F----, this represents the
devil stronger than the Almighty, if he can give people
badness,' with which they can go about persecuting
God's own people, even in all their temporal concerns
and in their bodily health.
" Mrs. F—.—l believe, sir, it is done ; but, of
course, God can set bounds to it. The Lord he only
know all about these things ; but I know this, sir, that
when I was a girl there was a witch lived next door to
us, and afraid enough we was of her.
" Mr.--.—What did she do ?

"Mrs. F—.—Her name was Betsy Noeris. She
bewitched my father's cows and pigs and geese, and
other people's too, when they offended her. All the
farmers was afraid of her, and gave her anything she
asked for ; if not, she could make all their things run
wild over the yard, and could fill them with lice, which
went and came according as she were pleased or not.
The first of my father finding her out was one day when
she cut up his onions. He went after her and said he
would 'spurn her.' He gave her a kick, but he never
felt nothing for his toe ; his foot sunk in as if she wa'nt
made of nothing human ; and yet, when he kicked her,
that there old woman flew yards and yards. And then,
when he went home, my father found his pigs betwitched.
They was barking and jumping all over the stye. My
father cut a piece off their ears and tails, and raked
them up in the fire, and told my mother to go up stairs,
and to be sure not to speak to the witch it she should
come. The witch can:; hallooing to the door, asking
my mother for some rags. She had her fingers cut all
across, and bleeding dreadful.
"Mr. --. Who bad cut her fingers
"Mrs. F--. Wby, sir, the enemy caused her to
do that herself when my father stirred the pigs' tails and
ears in the fire, and told my mother to go upstairs.
Then that wrought upon her, and she cut her fingers in
that there dreadful way. My mother was a muir-
hearted woman, and as the witch stood screaming and
begging for rags my mother looked out of the window
and gave her some rags, and spoke to her. By so doing
my mother gave the power out of her own hands, and
the witch got the power again ; whereas, if my mother
had not spoken to her she would have gone borne and
died. Ah I sir, as I said before, there's the mistakeee--
to speak to them.

""Mr. Well, what became direr at last ?
" Mrs. F--. We had her in our parish for years
and years ; and once a woman named Huggins. a won-
derful strong woman, swore she would try whether
Betsy Norris was a witch or not. She took and pnt her
on to a faggot and shoved her into a pond, and turned
her over and over with a pitchfork, but she came up
again every time, and swam like a duck or goose. At
last they put her into the workhouse, and thera she be-
witched a whole heap of other women and filled them
with lice.

"Mr. --. Well, any dirty old woman could do
that.

".Mrs. F.—Yes, sir ; but Daisy Norris was very clean,
and it was the power she had from the Enemy that done
that, and she could make them come and go at any mo-
ment. At last she died, and her body swarmed with
them, and after the grave was shut up there was not one
left in the house."

P.S.—March 23, lBs7.—This day the bewitched
woman herself called to ask advice as to consulting an
astrologer for her complaint. She is evidently under
mental delusions, and therefore it would not usefully
illustrate the subject to repeat her many absurdities.

* Ou inquiry I found that uo such sudden death took placo
at this cottage, and that witch No. 2 is still alive.

APPALLING MURDER IN LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

The most painful excitement was produced in the
neighbourhood of Lime-street, and the streets adjoinieg,
consequent upon the report that a man named Johu Gib-
bons, a butcher, residing in Four-court, Bolton-street,
Copperas•hill, bad attempted to murder his wife and
several of his children by cutting their throats. The
following appear to be the facts of the case. Gibbons
occupies a stall in St. John's-market, but owing to re-
verses in business has lately been in a state of mental
debility. He came down stairs as usual this morning
to breakfast, followed shortly afterwards by his wife.
About eight o'clock the latter was coming down stairs
with some tea things, when her husband put his arm
round her neck and said, " Come, Mary, let me give you
a kiss," and while in the act of kissing her he cut her
throat with a razor, inflicting a severe gash. She ran
immediately to the street, crying "Murder," with her
face arid clothes covered with blood. A policeman was
promptly on the spot, to whom she stated, as well as
she was able, what had occurred, and he hastened to the
house, and had the unfortunate woman, then nearly in-
sensible, hurried off to the Infirmary in a cab. Mean-
while the work of murder was going on inside the house.
The wretched man, after the attack upon his wife, went
up to the bedroom where his five innocent children, the
eldest only 11 years, were sleeping, and cut the throats
of Thomas, aged four years, and Joseph, aged one year
and a half. He made a desperate attempt upon the
throat of his eldest daughter, Margaret, but she, after a
powerful resistance, got away from him ; and his eldest.
son, John, aged 11 years, wrested the razor out of his'
father's hand, and succeeded in making his escape, and
giving an alarm. Upon the arrival of medical assistance
the boy Thomas was found quite dead, and Joseph in a
very precarious state. His wound was sewn up, and he
was taken to the Infirmary, but no hopes are enter-
tained of his recovery. The cries of the two surviving
children, on hearing of their brother's death, were heart-
rending, the lad John having during the day had fre-
quent convulsive fits. Gibbons was at once captured
and taken to Bridewell. He confessed to having done
the horrid deed, and made no resistance. A large mob
of people followed him to the Bridewell. The house oc-
cupied by the prisoner is now in the charge of the police.
It has since an early hour been surrounded by a large
crowd of people. The prisoner is 46 years of age.

EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER.
The prisoner, John Gibbons, was brought before Mr.
Mansfield at the police•court, at 1 o'clock. He appeared
dejected and depressed, and gazed vacantly round the
court.

Mr. Clough, superintendent of police, said the prisoner
was charged with the murder of his son Joseph that
morning. It appeared that the father and mother and
five children slept in one bed in a single room; the mother
got up that morning at half-past eight o'clock, and was
followed immediately by her husband. He walked to
the staircase bead leading down into the cellar kitchen,
and he kissed her. After he did that witnesses would
prove that he drew a knife across her throat. Immedi-
ately after he turned upon his daughter Margaret, and
he laid her across two chairs and cut her throat, and the
throat of his son Joseph, who is now dead. The others
were in the hospital, and Margaret was very likely to
die. Whether the wife would recover was uncertain.
He stated that the prisoner had a stall in St. John's-
market, but Lusiness had been unprofitable, and be bad
got into difficulties, and been driven out of the market.
His wife had taken care of the stand for the last two or
three months. During that time the prisoner had prin-
cipally remained at home. The wounded persons and
others of the prisoner's family spoke in high. terms of the
kindness of his disposition towards them, and of his
general good deportment. He was a perfectly sober
man, and had been a teetotaller for 23 years. A sur-
geon had examined him in Bridewell, and certified that
he was labouring under temporary insanity.
The prisoner was remanded for seven days, until the
result of the injuries should be known.
It is since reported that the wife died this afternoon at
the Infirmary of the wounds received.
