: I live at No. 43, Saffron-hill. On the 19th of May, my child was taken from the door, about eight in the evening; I left the child at play, and went up stairs to put my other children to bed; I looked out of the window, and called for my child; it is not six years old; I called it to go to bed; and it did not answer; and I came down stairs, and went to my neighbours to look for her; and I could not find her; about nine she came back by herself, stripped of her frock, skirt, and the clasps out of her shoes; I asked her where she had been? and she said a woman took her to <rs type="placeName" id="t17900526-51-crimeloc240">Fleet-market</rs>
