near it.  Again, the woollen wheel turned upside down, and stood up on its end, and a spade set on it; Steph.  Greenleafe saw it, and myself and my wife.  Again, my rope-tools fell down upon the ground before my boy could take them, being sent for them; and the same thing of nails tumbled down from the loft into the ground, and nobody near.  Again, my wife and boy making the bed, the chest did open and shut:  the bed-clothes could not be made to lie on the bed, but fly off again.

“Again, Caleb Powell came in, and, being affected to see our trouble, did promise me and my wife, that, if we would be willing to let him keep the boy, we should see ourselves that we should be never disturbed while he was gone with him:  he had the boy, and had been quiet ever since.

“THO.  ROGERS and GEORGE HARDY, being at William Morse his house, affirm that the earth in the chimney-corner moved, and scattered on them; that Tho.  Rogers was hit with somewhat, Hardy with an iron ladle as is supposed.  Somewhat hit William Morse a great blow, but it was so swift that they could not certainly tell what it was; but, looking down after they heard the noise, they saw a shoe.  The boy was in the corner at the first, afterwards in the house.

     “JO.  TUCKER affirmeth that Powell said to him, he

     brought up under Norwood; and it was judged by the people

“A FURTHER TESTIMONY OF WILLIAM MORSE AND HIS WIFE.—­We saw a keeler of bread turn over against me, and struck me, not any being near it, and so overturned.  I saw a chair standing in the house, and not anybody near:  it did often bow towards me, and so rise up again.  My wife also being in the chamber, the chamber-door did violently fly together, not anybody being near it.  My wife, going to make a bed, it did move to and fro, not anybody being near it.  I also saw an iron wedge and spade was flying out of the chamber on my wife, and did not strike her.  My wife going into the cellar, a drum, standing in the house, did roll over
