The story of the case of Elizabeth Canning in 1753: "Being a true and complete Relation of her MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE with her low and distrest State upon returning to her Friends, her fixing upon Enfield Wash as the Place of her Confinement, with her Accusation against Mother Wells, a notorious Bawd, and Mary Squires, an hideous Gipsy; on whose behalf the Lord Mayor of London made a Counter-Accusation, and what came of it." (Elizabeth Canning was a London woman who claimed in 1753 that she had been abducted and her kidnappers tried to force her to become a prostitute. She ended up being convicted for perjury. She was born on September 17, 1734 in the City of London and began working as a maid at the age of fifteen or sixteen. She was reported to have a good character (i.e. she was chaste) and a strong work ethic. She disappeared on January 1, 1753, and she reappeared on January 29, 1753 at her mother's house near St Mary Aldermanbury in London.)
