I find it fascinating and also incredible that the theft of clothing was deemed more heinous than abduction, assault, kidnapping and coercion (is that the right word?) to prostitution. I can't see Elizabeth bashing her own head, although stranger things have happened (see the Murdauch/Murdaugh? case in US at the moment where the guy paid someone to kill him) nor does she seem to be a character who would tell lies to get someone in court, did they even pay out compensation in those days? It also shows that the press/media where same then as now, and that the public like to get stuck in aboot it with their opinions. I'm glad that Elizabeth had a life in America. Thanks so much for your work and information. Good wishes as ever Xxx 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🍀 🗺️ 🏴🕊️⚖️

I wonder where she would have been staying all that time if not at Mrs. Wells' house. I wonder if she might have run away from an abusive or stifling mother and stayed with a secret beau. Then maybe he was physically abusive and unable to provide for her, so she fled back to her mother. She likely would not have admitted the truth knowing the negative affect it would have on her reputation, so she concocted a false narrative, unconcerned for the reputation and fate of the people she implicated. It really is a curious case.

I really don’t see anyway she would have returned home without her stays, unless she had been sexually assaulted. Women didn’t roam the streets in solely their chemise (underwear) and whatever had happened, she was in some way harmed.

I was thinking the same thing. People who are abducted and assaulted usually disassociate from the situation, leaving their memories full of holes. Remember that she wasn't the one to find the house; two men did, and it's possible (not certain, but possible) that when they brought her there, she just thought it was that house, and that her memories were corrupted by being shown the house. Not 100% sure about this theory, but I think it's worth considering.

The perjury was that her initial description to the police of the woman who held her hostage, and the attic she was held hostage in, didn't match the woman who was convicted and her attic (even though she said it was the attic, even though it didn't match her initial description.) So hard to know what happened in this case, it seems likely that her story of being held hostage was true, but it seems likely that the house and woman she identified were not correct (possibly from the head injury from the initial abduction.)

Well, it sounds like perjury when they ascribe an assault to people who had quite convincing alibis that they couldn't have been there. Teenaged girls have sometimes gone to great degrees of self-harm to portray themselves as victims, and more have told convoluted lies to avoid blame for situations (such as sexual assault) that today would not be considered their fault at all. I wonder if she tried to come up with a "shield" story (perhaps she had been sexually assaulted by someone "respectable"), and when someone jumped on the Wells connection she felt compelled to keep agreeing with it.

There are a few books about this strange affair. You're right - it was big news back then. One of the women that allegedly kidnapped her was supposedly a gypsy (I think the one who was seen telling fortunes). The press hyped it up with calling the 2 warring factions, or leastways disagreeing factions, the Canningites vs. the Egyptians. Nevertheless, something bad had definitely happened to Liz. She was in rough shape when she returned - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Good presentation.

I'd say this one depends on how big/tangible the discrepancies were. When I was in college, I remember this one class where we all were shown a picture of a room and then had to describe the place. Except for obvious things like the colour of the walls, that one big piece of furniture and if it was clean/dirty, we all pretty much used different terms to describe it and remembered some details differently. And Elizabeth's trauma could have added to that. I don't know how trained were investigators back then, or how seriously they took women's depictions compared to their own.

When u remember things , truly, each time bits become more clear or u remember more details or it slightly different. As your memory isn't an exact picture but parts of pictures linked together. It makes a valid point. That's how I know if my child fibs to me now.

As an Australian, I know from historical records that stealing a suit was considered a capital offence, and many who were spared the death penalty were transported for the offence. Stealing a suit was considered a crime against authority, because clothing marked the boundaries of the ruling class. A lot of impoverished people who stole suits were trying to better their prospects of a job. I suppose stealing corsets was considered an equally punishable offence against the ruling class.

Oh, something undoubtedly happened to Elizabeth. You mentioned that she was found in the Bedlam area, so she could have had memory loss and been imprisoned there before ultimately escaping confinement, which could be done to anyone in those days without they themselves giving permission for it. I think she got frightened and may have told her mother that she had been kidnapped and attempted to be forced into prostitution, because of the stigma attached to the whole insane asylum system that society was against. It likely just got out of hand, and she was frightened about the consequences, so she stuck with her story.

I think Elizabeth was telling the truth, but she got the people and house incorrect. She said it took about 5 hours to walk home, but the house they zoned in on was only about 10 miles from hers. That's a long time to be walking 10 miles... Even walking at a slow pace (25 min per mile), she should have arrived home in about 4 hours. The only reason they zoned in on the house in the first place, was because someone thought it was similar. But the loft room didn't match and the appearance of the female captor didn't match her statements. I have a feeling the house where the kidnapping actually took place, was a few miles farther down the same road or a different road entirely and she was too traumatized to make an accurate identification at the time. I don't think it helped that Mary was Romani, since they were considered thieves and less-than by the English population at the time. She (and the others by association) became the perfect target, due to the prevailing prejudices of the time and I am not surprised they centered the blame on her/them, even with things not adding up.

We didn't hear what the accused had to say, except one of them wasn't in town at the time of the abduction. The case got so much media attention so if Elizabeth had been somewhere else, someone must had seen her and would have to had come forward to tell about it. It didn't happen, so I think she was speaking the truth. Except, if she was held by someone else, someone she wouldn't name and who had no interest in coming forward.

As to Elizabeth's memory of the event, it reminds me of one of the more modernish cases of memory based convictions and who you believe : Kevin Green was convicted in 1979 on his then wife's testimony that he had been the man who assaulted her, caused her brain trauma from a blow to the head and the loss of their full term baby. This was based on the last memory she had of him and their interaction before the attack -Of them having a heated argument though after that point she didn't remember anything specific about the actual attack. 16 years later DNA exonerated Green as the culprit but he would later go on to settle a wrongful death suit brought on by the ex-wife after he was freed. She maintained that HE had been the one that rendered her unconscious which allowed her to be assaulted by the real perpetrator. Maybe BC and Crime Reel can cover it as a cross over since the real culprit was a serial killer. Like maybe one does the 1979 case while the other does the one about the serial killer and tie it in that way? Anyhow it's a very interesting case in how convinced we can be that our memories are accurate even after evidence has proven other wise.

One thing missing from the perjury case against her was motive. Why would she come up with such an elaborate lie? If she was covering up a misdeed (ie running off with a boyfriend, etc), she would have been wiser to accuse fake people who couldn't be found, questioned, and contradict her story. Unless she somehow knew of that lady's bad reputation, but even then that's a gamble. I agree with a lot of the people here that something did happen to Elizabeth, but she somehow got the details of it wrong because of ptsd. My best friend is a psychologist who works with vets, and he says that when you go through a violent and traumatic experience, your brain often shuts down and dissociates. It's super common for trauma survivors to have fragmented memories of their attacks. Plus, they become highly suggestive to false narratives if people around them push them too hard to recall details they don't remember.

Like someone else in the comments section said, I wonder if she was actually sexually assaulted and because of the shame and stigma back in the 17th & 18th century she or along with her mother made up that story to keep her virtue intact. It sounds as though something did happen to her although I don't believe it happened exactly as she said.

The detail that jumps out at me as glaringly suspicious, is that she was sent to America for seven years. Seven years, was the exact amount of time that indentured servants were obligated to a master, before being allowed to be freed. My ancestors were in Connecticut as early as 1628. I have learned some extraordinarily harrowing stories about that area in the early 1600s. I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if Elizabeth was an early case of sex trafficking. Most of my male ancestors, (on all branches of my family tree) outlived their wives. Many were married a second or even third time, with subsequent children from each marriage. My point is, women didn't seem to live as long as men. And, sadly, "breeders" were in high demand. Of course this is only conjecture based on the specific era and geography. Finally, as someone myself who has clinically diagnosed C-PTSD, I can tell you that severely traumatic events can and WILL cause certain aspects of situations and surroundings to become muddled. Even though you WERE there, your brain sort of fills in blanks with the most seemingly obvious detail.

I suspect from what evidence we have, two and a half centuries later, that Miss Canning was telling the truth. However, the fact that she suffered head trauma may have muddled her ability to correctly identify her assailants and the location in which she was held. In any case, forcing the jury to convict her of willful perjury was a crime against justice. At least she had public opinion on her side, which took the edge off her suffering.

i knew about this case from books, but it continues to fascinate me. end of the day, it;'s got the story of the romantic cheap novels "a chaste and meek servant, who gets abducted and after refusing to become a prostitute, is trapped in a loft for a month then bravely and in rags escapes over rooftops and fights to get home in the dark wearing next to nothing, then even though she may die, identified her attackers and gets lauded for it, with her virginity intact" that part i don't think was widely publicised though. then of course reality ensured and the real outcome was a lot different, but you can tell how this would have fascinated the Georgian period

Amazing Elizabeth had to file civil charges against her kidnapper’s. Glad laws get changed and amended as long as it’s always fair and justified. Imagine Elizabeth today being kidnapped for sex trafficking.. it still happens despite the knowledge we have as humans . It shows how much trauma a human goes through from an unprovoked attack sexual or physical or verbal . We have awareness it’s detrimental yet people still doing it . We need to focus on education and finding ways to stop and break the cycle of abuse .

Sadly, in those days for a woman to admit she was violated would have ruined her just as much as if she were found to be pregnant and unwed. If that had been the case with Elizabeth, it is certainly understandable as to why she would have kept that part of her story to herself as much as possible. Otherwise, forced or not, public opinion would have branded her a harlot and she could run the very real risk of being charged as one.

I read about this case in several historical books. Although, the author never said what happened to the girl afterwards. As for the girl's clothes being stolen that happened a lot amongst the middle classes. If you read the novel of Charles Dickens "Dombey and Son", the same thing happened to Florence Dombey. She was separated from her nurse and an old woman calling herself "Good Mrs. Brown" took Florence to her home and forced her to strip down to her petticoats and then the old woman made Florence put on a dirty torn dress and old shoes too big for the little girl and then threw Florence out of the house. Poor Florence wandered around London asking for help but everyone ignored her until an office boy took her to her father's place of business. It was a common practice for thieves to temporarily kidnap children or teens for their clothing. Because of that children, teenage girls weren't allowed to walk about by themselves. I suppose that Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle probably thought she would be safe in an area she knew well. We will never know what really happened to Elizabeth or if that old woman had anything to do with her kidnapping but hanging was a pretty harsh sentence. But then people were hang for even the most minor of offenses. 🤷🤦
