text: A Reputed Changeling
  
  By Charlotte Mary Yonge 
  
  A REPUTED CHANGELING, or, THREE SEVENTH YEARS TWO CENTURIES AGO 
  
  PREFACE 
  
  I do not think I have here forced the hand of history except by giving Portchester to two imaginary Rectors, and by a little injustice to her whom Princess Anne termed 'the brick-bat woman.' 
  The trial is not according to present rules, but precedents for its irregularities are to be found in the doings of the seventeenth century, notably in the trial of Spencer Cowper by the same Judge Hatsel, and I have done my best to represent the habits of those country gentry who were not infected by the evils of the later Stewart reigns. 
  There is some doubt as to the proper spelling of Portchester, but, judging by analogy, the t ought not to be omitted.
