Acts against witchcraft were passed in England in 1541, 1562, and 1601. The last person tried under these laws was Jane Wenham of Walkern in Hertfordshire in 1712, though I can't tell you the outcome. In Scotland a witch-burning took place in Sutherland in 1722, and in Ireland that of Bridget Cleary at Cloneen in Co. Tipperary on 15 March 1895 (sic).

Modern laws against the practice began with the 1736 act against pretending to use witchcraft, and in 1824 act classes it as vagrancy. These days there is a loophole that says if you do these things for "entertainment" it's okay, which is why alas astrologers have escaped long prison sentences for fraud.

Anyone who sniggered at the Tipperary business might like to know that a case of trial by ordeal occurred in Charleston, North Carolina, on 26 February 1951. I wish I had more details.
