 | | Mary was well known and highly respected in Erdington, and in the very neighbourhood of the spot where she fell a victim to the brutal lust of a detestable ravisher, and the murderous grasp of a ferocious assassin. |
 | | On her way, she called upon her intimate friend Hannah Cox, at Erdington, and arranged that she should be back early in the evening, to go to a dance at Tyburn, which usually took place in a public-house there, at the conclusion of an annual feast, of a friendly society. |
 | | He danced with the ill-fated girl, paid her the greatest attention, accompanied her from the dance homewards, and was afterwards seen with her at a stile, on the side of the high road, at three-quarters past two o'clock in the morning. |
