Frances Bailey< no role > Saith She went Over when She heard
Murder CryedThat the Deceased was sitting by the
Fire side and said She had had a Blow to Kill her
That Holding was standing before the Fire
And she said she would Knock Informants Brains
Out That Holding had nothing in her Hands
And She did not See Holding with the Poker in her hand
Nor did she See her give the Deceased any Blow
Saith She never Looked upon the Deceased out of her
Senses when she was not in her Fits

When they Came upon her she would turn herself and
ThereofStriek out And she hath often done Mischief
to those about her when she was in her Fits
That She had had no Fit for three or four Nights
before the Quarrell with the Deceased
