YITCIICRAFT IX T1IK NINETEENTH
CENTURY.
A recent trial for witchoraft or, nt loant,
fraudulent fortune-telling suggests the un
pleasant reflection that tbo boliof in witches
still exists to a Tery considerable extent la
England. We do not, it is trne, hear of it
much in the busy towns; because there is not
bo much gossiping rumor In them as in conn
try places, and because the people, with all
their shortcomings, are a little less ignorant.
Nevertheless, the ignorance still displayed in
the nineteenth century may well occasion, sur
prise, and migest inquiries concerning that
Baid schoolmaster, who is dcolared to be
'abroad.". In London, the credulity is chiofly
among servant-girls, who give their sixpences
to fortune-tellers for information on certain
important questions about "dark men," "fair
men," and the like. The line of division be
tween fortune-telling and witchcraft being a
Tery slight one, we need not bo surprised
that the credulous often step over this boun
dary, and commit themselves to the most
gross and at surd impositions.
In a case tried in Stafford in 1821), ono
Sarah lloxborough was charged with the fol
lowing piece of roguery. Hue announced to
a tradesman's wife at llunley, that she could
"rule the planet, restore stolen goods, and
get in bad debts." On one particular day
the wise woman appeared ati the tradetman a
fcouse and began her professional incanta
tions. She desired the wife to have a fire kin
dled in an upper room; to obtain from her
husband twenty-five ono-pound notes; to place
the notes in her bosom, and to let them re
main there till 'J o'clock in the evening.
The credulous wife did as she was directed.
The woiunn lloxborough came agn'.n later
in the day, went upstairs, and sont
the wife down for some pins and some
of her husband's hair. She then asked for
the notes, saying she could not get on with
out them. The wife hesitated a little, but at
length gave them, barah, after putting a
little of the husband's hair into each note,
and folding them up, made a small bundle of
them, which she put on a chair. The wife,
having some misgivings, wanted the notes
returned; but the deceiver declared the charm
would fail unless the. notes remained a few
minutes in the chair. Sarah then told her
Billy dupe to stand in the middle of the room,
throw pinsinto the fire, and watch till they were
consumed. While this was doing, the knavish
" woman watched for an opportunity to take np
the roll of notes, and deposit in its place a
small paper parcel of similar size and appear
ance. This, however, was not so adroitly
'done as to escape the notice of the wifo; sus
picion was aroused, the husband was called
up-stnirs, the impostor was searched, given
into custody, tried, and imprisoned. The
cheat was of the most vulgar kind, but it
sufficed to show the intense credulity of the
person duped.
No longer ago than 18."7, a trial at the
Stafford Assizes exhibited a farmer and his
wifo in such a light as would appear almost
incredible, were it not that the narrative
came from their own lips. The farmer,
Thomas Charlesworth, lived at Rugby. He
married in 1850, against his mother's wish;
she quitted his roof, and gave him a mys
terious caution not to make, choese, as it
would be sure to crumble to pieces. This
warning soemed to imply that the young
wife would bewitch the dairy; but the
. farmer's evidence did not tend to show
what he himself believed in this matter.
Very shortly, everjfiiritf seemed to go
wrong; the cheese v.-twH not turn out pro
perly; the farmer, Lis wife, and the dairy
maid became unwell. In this predicament ho
Bought the advice of a neighboring toll-gate
keeper, who suggested that he should apply
to a "wise man named James Tunnicliff.
The farmer and his wife started off, visited
the wise man, told their story, and obtained a
promise that he would come to the farm on
tha following day. He did come. His report
startled. the poor farmer. Mr. and Mrs.
Charlesworth, the maid, all the horses, all
the cows, the farm, and the cheese vat, were
pronounoed to be bewitched. A regular
tariff was named for the disenchantment
five shillings for each human being, five
shillings for each horse, three-and-sixpence
each cow, five shillings for the cheese
vat, etc. until the poor dupe had
paid as much as seven pounds. No good re
sult followed; the cheese was no better than
before; and the inmates of the farm were (or
fancied themselves to be) very much out of
condition. They believed they heard at night
strange noises, the bellowing of cattle, and
the howling of dogs. Tunnicliff now asserted
that the whole commotion was due to the in
fluence of. Charlesworth's mother over certain
wizards living at Longton, Burton-on-Trent,
and Derby; and that to counteract this bane
ful influence a large outlay of money would
be needed. The farmer gave him an addi
tional sum of thirty pounds. Still there was
do improvement. And now occurred the
strangest proof of deception on the one hand,
and credulity on the other. - The farmer took
the knave Tunnicliff into his house, and
allowed him to live there eleven months!
The rogue lived an easy life, and fed on the
best that the farm afforded. Sometimes he
would make crosses on all the doors with
witch hazel; and ' sometimes he would burn
blue lights, to overcome the powers of the
evil one. The farmer deposed in evidence
that one night he was taken ill; that he heard
a sound like that of a carriage in the yard,
and another like a rush of wind through a
passage; that the house-dog entered the room,
followed by "the shape of another dog all on
fire;" that after the farmer had said the
Lord's l'rayer the fiery dog disappeared,
but the house-dog stayed,' with his tongue
hanging out and cm paws banging down
The mistress and the maid had both
of them Bomo thing to say oonoerning
this fiery dog. After this extraordinary
Hallucination bad continued nearly a year.
even the obtuse mind of the farmer
began to open to the possibility that the
wise man bad been making a dupe of mm
lie consulted a lawyer, and the lawyer col
leeted evidence sufficient to bring upon Tun
nieliff a sentence of twelve months' imnrison
xnent with hard labor, "for obtaining money
under false pretenses." Hut the evidence
was not Rulhcient to show how far, or
in what way, he had produced the appear
ances and the noises which had so much as
sisted to keep np the cheat.
The obstinate milk of a cow w as the pri
mary cause of this absurd exhibition of igno
rance; and such an event has not uufre
quently led to applications to fortune-tellnrs
and wise men. Early in the present century
there was a case in poiut, ludicrous in its
commencement, but tragical at its close.. A
cow belonging to a tailor censed to yield
milk, and the tailor's wife believed thut the
ciinal was bewitched. She asiemWa 1
twelve women at her house and got them all
to solemnly bless the cow; but still no milk
came. She then applied to one Mary Butters,
a fortune-teller. This woman advised that
the tailor and another man should go to the
cow-house, turn their waistcoats inside out,
and stand by the head of the cow till the milk
came. The two simpletons did as they wero
directed, and : remained in the cow-house
many hours; but as the cow continued as dry
as ever they returned to the house. Finding
doors and windows closed, and observing a
strange silence everywhere, they forced an
entrance, and saw within the house the tailor's
wife, her son, and an old woman, all lying
dead, together with Mary Butters in a very
exhausted state. In this case there is reason
to believe that the witch, or fortune-teller,
was to a certain degree sincere in her
witchery; bhe bad shut herself up in the
house with the three othef persons, hadolosod
every crevico, and put a pot on the fire con
taining pins, needles, crooked nails, a little
milk, and (it is supposed) a little sulphur.
The fumes had suffocated her wretched com
panions, and had nearly mado an end of her
self too.
An inquiry that came before the Bethnal
green I'olice Court, in 18."(5, exhibited the
metropolis in nearly aa unfavorable a light
ns the country districts. The wife of a
coppersmith, suffering under illness and
anxiety, was told by some of her neighbors
that sho had a "spoil" upon hor, and was
recommended to go to a "wise woman"
nan.rd Sarah M'Donnld; seeing that a
medical man had failed to cure her. The
wise woman told her that "some person was
doing her an injury," and that the remedy
would be the burning of ten powders. The
dupe purchased the powders, at sixpence
each, of M Donald, who threw them into the
fire, where they "cracked, and burned, and
blazed, and bounced." The wise woman
muttered some words, which were supposed
to be part of a charm or incantation. The
silly wife repeated these visits seven or
einht times, always unknown to her hus
band. It came out in the course of the in
vestigation that the niagio powder was only
common salt; that, even then, the dupes (for
the woman's daughter had also fallen into
the snare) believed that the wise woman
could "remove the spell" if she chose: in.
deed, the complaint before the magistrate
was, not that she bad done wrong, but that
sue would not do what she could, lne cre
dulity was rendered the more strange by
the lact that tbe tradesman s wife belonged
to a good family, moving in a circle of
society where the witch theory is not usually
countenanced.
In 1825 a curious proof was afforded of the
popular belief in a "sink-or-swim" method of
detecting a wizard. At Wickham Keith, in
Suffolk, there dwelt one Isaao Stebbing, a
small, Rpare, elderly man; be was a buckster,
or dealer in small cheap wares. Near him
dwelt a thatcher, whose wife became more
and more silly as sue advanced in years;
while another neighbor, a farmer, also showed
signs of mental weakness. The gossips of
the village deeming it strange that there
should be two silly persons among them,
took refuge in the theory of witchcraft or
necromancy, and sought about for some one
who had done the mischief. The poor huck
ster was fixed upon. One cottager asserted
tnat while using the frying-pan one
evening, Isaao Stebbing was seen to dance up
to the door. This, it seems, is one of the
tests of wizard tactics; but Stebbing stoutly
denied baving done anything of the lund,
thereupon rose a charge mat be bad once
called upon a neighbor with mackerol for
sale, at 4 o'clock in the morning, before the
lamuy were up another proof of black magic;
he admitted having called at the hour named,
but only as a dealer, and denied all oomph
city with wizards. Not yet satisfied, the vil
lagers ascertained from a cobbler tnat one
day his wax would neither melt nor work pro
perly, and that Isaao Stebbing passed his
door at the very instant when this occurred,
sure proof (in the cobbler's estimation) that
the huckster bad lie witched the wax. The
villagers, having their minds preoccupied with
the belief that Stebbing was a wizard, did not
like to be bathed, and proposed tnat the
6ink-or-8wim test should be applied. The
poor fellow consented. There was a large
pond called the (J runner, on Y lckbam-green,
and around this pond, on a certain day,
Strong muster of villagers assembled. Four
men were appointed to walk into the water
with Isaao, and the parish constable attended
to keeping the peace. Stebbing, wearing
only his coat and breeches, walked into the
pond, attended by the four men, and when
they had waded about breast high, they lifted
him up and laid him fiat on his back on the
surface of the water. Now it is known to
bathers that when the lungs are moderately
inflated, the human body weighs a little less
than an equal bulk of water; and that a person
can at such a time float on the surface, pro
vided he keeps perfectly still. Whether the
huckster was aware of this is not recorded;
but be did float rather to the disappoint
ment of the wizard hunters They called
out, "Give him another!" and again did he
remain so quiet as to float when placed on,
the sun ace of the water. Not yet satisned,
they cried out, "Try him again; dip him
under the water !" and under he went, head
down and heels up; but speedily recovering
himself, he floated as before. The old man
was more dead than alive when he had borne
these repeated duckings for three quarters of
an hour, and he hoped that his neighbors
would be satisfied with the result. But they
were not; they wished their wizard theory to
bo justified, even if the poor fellow's life had
been sacrificed as a consequence. It was
gravely proposed that "another man of his
Hge and size ought to be made to swim
with him." What this meant, we are not
told; but they hud probably begun to suspect
tbe nature of his floating power. Oue Tom
Wilden, of llacton parish, was selected as the
f.econd man; and on the next following hatur
(lav. nearly all the inhabitants of both village!
assembled around tbe pond. By this time,
however, the clergyman and church-wardens
had heard of the affair, and forbade the
further prosecution of the monstrous ordeal.
Do the lafit two or three years afford any
indication that these degrading displays of
icnorunce have vanished from among us i At
Stratford-on-Avon, in October, 18C7, a whole
f sn.ily were unit ten with a belief (go astonish
ing as to be itself almost unbelievable) that
hideous headless men and woman were in the
habit of coming down the chimneys during
the night, pinching tbo inmates of the house,
making horrible noises, and even turning the
people out of their beds. A theory sprang up
in the fbiuily that :hey were all bewitched by a
neighbor, Jane Ward, and that the shedditig
of home of Jane's blood would be necessary
to the removul of tbe spell. The father forth
with gave poor Jane a gabh in the oheek with
a knife, whereupon the family obtained, as
they declured, peaceful nights. But a trial
at the Warwick Assizes taught the" deluded
mon that his peculiar mode of getting rid of
v. itches was not exactly in accordance with the
laws of England.
Again. At Newbury, in Berks, in Febru
ary, 18(18 last year one Isaao Rivers having
lost his watch, applied to a "cunning
woman," named Maria Giles, to help him iu
his troijiles. She received half a crown as
payment for allowing him to look into a
gluhs something like thoso used in bird
en geB, in which he was to see the face of tho
miu who hud possession of tbe watch. The
noodle funded he "saw whiskers," but no
face. A few days afterwards ha gave her
nine shillings and sixpence, wherewith to buy
some "doctors stun, wmcn was to assist in
the search. A second time did he give her a
similar sum of nine shillings and sixpence,
for a similar purpose; but he saw neither
doctors' stuff nor watch. On a fourth occa
sion the simpleton gave her twenty-five shil
lings (unless the watch were a gold one, he
must have about paid its full value by this
time), and he was bidden to remain indoors
until, at midnight, Marin should bring him
the man who possessed the watch. The sim-
tUcity with which he afterwards assured a
magistrate that he did wait indoors, and
that the people did not come with the watoh,
was something to marvel at.
At Cuckfield, in October, 1808, a married
woman, being ill, applied to a "cunning
man" to ascertain whether she was bewitched.
A midnight meeting, a book of necromancy,
a pair of tongs, some new pins, and a great
deal of ceremonial ejaculation and jargon,
somehow failed either to bring the witch to
light or to cure the illness.
In November, 18f.8, at lunbndge Wells,
a woman, jealous of ber husband, applied to
a fortune-teller to reveal whether there were
grounds for her jealousy. A bargain was
mnde, that, for one shilling to buy doctors'
stuff, the fortune-teller should bewitch a
certain other woman that was supposed to
have led the husband astray, and should
give her "excruciating pain." Somehow
or other, the wife herself was in great pain
that same, night, and then indicted the
fortune-teller for having bewitched the wrong
person. At Maidstone Assizes the charge
settled down into the more definite one of
obtaining a shilling under false pretenses.
Enough newspaper readers may remem
ber still more recent instances of the same
kind. From All the Year Round.
