Children Quote by Sarah Wise
““The Morning Advertiser gave regular bulletins about missing children after the arrests of Bishop, Williams and May: Caroline Brand, eight, of Wolverley Street, Hackney Road, sent out by her parents to sell bundles of firewood one evening, and not seen again, just as her thirteen-year-old brother had disappeared, five months before; and Henry Borroff, a five-year-old of Hoxton Old Town — gone.””
