Very rare. Jane Wenham (d. 1730) was the last woman to be condemmed for witchcraft in England. After being accused of being a witch in the village of Walkern in Hertfordshire in 1712, she was tried before Sir John Powell (1645-1713) with sixteen witnesses appearing against her, the lawyers refusing any other charge than that of conversing with the devil in the form of a cat. Despite the leading of the judge (who when it was alleged she could fly stated that there was no law against flying) she was found guilty by the jury and sentenced to death. Powell succeeded in obtaining a pardon from the queen, however the case prompted a pamphlet war in 1712 between the clergy for the prosecution and Francis Bragge and others. The case led to the eventual repeal of the statute in the Witchcraft Act of 1735, which abolished witch-hunting and accusations of witchcraft.
