wlTCKcRAFT IN ENGLAND.
The Last Of the judicial Prosecutions
and Executions.

Sir Matthew Hale, il is true, had
hanged two poor women at Cam
bridge in 1864, but few years later
Lord Chief Justice Holt set him,
self strongly against such charges
and in every case tried before him
directed the jury TO bring in a YER
diet of acquittal. In a celebrated
trial at Guildford in l701 not only
was the supposed witch found not
guilty, but her false accuser, one
John Hathaway, was condemned 10
a years Imprisonment and to stand
in the pilIory three times. Yet,
horrible to relate, woman named
Hicks and her daughter, child Of
nine, were hanged together at
Huntingdon on July 20, 1915, for
raising a storm OF wind in league
with the devil.
The last judicial sentence for
witchcraft in England was in 1876,
one Jane Wenham being actually
found guilty, according to the in
dictment, of "conversing~ familiar
ly with the devil in the form of
cat" The judge, however, procured
reprieve 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 gate time
for OF ly nine years emher, in 1797,
woman was brought before Cap
tain David Ross, deputy sheriff Of
Sutherland, charged with causing
her daughter to be shod by the dew
H. and SO making her lame both in
hands and feet. The fact having
been proved to the captains satis-
faction, the old woman was put into
a tar barrel and burned at Dornoch. /
The weather being cold at tie time.
we are told that she sat composed
y warming herself by the fire pro-
pared to consume her while the 9TH
er instruments Of death were get
ting. ready"
The last attempt to execute
witch in England ended disastrously
for the perpetrators. In 1881. at
Fing two old people named os-
borne, Qan and wife, being suspect
ed ofWitchcraft, were seized by a
crowd, stripped, cross bound and
thrown into pond. Both died Of
this brutal treatment But the
witehcraft act had been repealed,
and, a verdict Of willful murder hav-
ing been returned against one Col
ley, the chief instigator OF the as
ssult, he was in due course tried
and hanged.-Cornhill Magazine.
