WITCHCRAFT IN ENGLAND.
The Last Of the Judicial Prosecution,
and Executions

Sir Matthew Hale, it is true, ha

, Lord Chief Justice Holt set him
, sell strongly against such charge
and IN every case tried before him
directed tie jury to bring in a yer

trial at Guildford in l7Ol not onl,

John Hathaway, was condemned tc
years imprisonment and to stand
in the pillory three times. Yet
horrible TO relate, a woman named
Hicks and her daughter, a child OF
nlnc, were hanged together at
Huntingdon on July 2S, 1916. for
raising a storm of wind in league
with the devil.
The last judicial sentence for
witchcraft in England was in 1896.
one Jane Wenham being actually
found guilty, according to the in.
dietmcat. Of "conversing familiar
~ with the devil in the form of
cat" The judge, however, procured
repr.eyc for poor old Jane. and
she was ultimately released, to end
her days in peace.
Last, the witchcraft act was re-
pealed for the United Kingdom in
the same year. 1t was quite time.
for only nine years earlier, in 1927.
a woman was brought before Cap
tain David Ross, deputy sheriff of
Sutherland, charged with Causing
her daughter TO be shod by the dev-
i" and so making her lame both in
hands and feet. The fact having
been proved to the captains salts
action, the old woman was put into
tar barrel and. burned at Dornoch.
The weather being cold at the time.
We are told that she 'sat composed
