LAMBERT WRIT
This writ was served on Joseph Lambert by the Reverend Simon Carver, who had persuaded the Little Hope selectmen to force the forfeiture of Lambert's land over a disputed contract. This caused bad blood in the community and is believed to have culminated in accusations that Joseph's wife Amy had been 'touched by the witch'.
