If someone has strong reasons to believe someone is a witch how would this person test if its true and how should the witch be dealt with?

First, it is not your responsibility to "deal with witches". Your question is reminiscent of the witch burnings in Europe, something out of a sorry history that should never be forgotten and will never by repeated as long as there are sane people to counter religious fanaticism. Ask him or her. There isn't any test to see if someone is a witch. Deal with them as you would any other person. Witches aren't evil and they aren't in league with the devil. There are many modern covens and any individual is free to join in. How should you deal with this? Mind your own business.
