Image description

Alice Gooderigde is searched for witch's marks by Anonymous 165 and is found to have a bloody hole as big as two pence on her stomach; the searchers believe the bloody hole is a result of a wart or teat being cut off; Gooderidge claims the hole is a result of holding a knife while falling off a ladder, which caused the knife to be thrust into her stomach; the hole is not festering, and therefore the searchers do not believe her story. The marks are examined by Sir Humphrey and Master Graysley. Gooderidge is sent to the Derby prison for allegedly bewitching Thomas Darling.
