On October 29, 1692, Governor Phipps prohibited any further arrests, released many of the accused witches, and dissolved the Court of Oyer and Terminer. However, there was a Superior Court established the end of November, 1692 for the trying of those persons already incarcerated. In January, 1693, 49 of the 52 surviving people were brought into court on witchcraft charges but were released because the evidence was speculation.

Technically, I would say January of 1693, as 49 people physically walk into Court to hear the verdict.
