the said Anne Whittle, alias Chattox:  the one on the one side of the Ditch, and the other on the other:  and two Pictures of Clay or Marle lying by them:  and the third Picture the said Anne Whittle, alias Chattox, was making:  and the said Anne Redferne her said Daughter, wrought her Clay or Marle to make the third picture withall.  And this Examinate passing by them, the said Spirit, called Tibb, in the shape of a black Cat, appeared vnto her this Examinate, and said, turne back againe, and doe as they doe:  To whom this Examinate said, what are they doing? whereunto the said Spirit said; they are making three Pictures:  whereupon she asked whose pictures they were? whereunto the said Spirit said; they are the pictures of Christopher Nutter, Robert Nutter, and Marie, wife of the said Robert Nutter:  But this Examinate denying to goe back to helpe them to make the Pictures aforesaid; the said Spirit seeming to be angrie, therefore shoue or pushed this Examinate into the ditch, and so shed the Milke which this Examinate had in a Can or Kit:  and so thereupon the Spirit at that time vanished out of this Examinates sight:  But presently after that, the said Spirit appeared to this Examinate againe in the shape of a Hare, and so went with her about a quarter of a mile, but said nothing to this Examinate, nor shee to it.
