At her trial, Elizabeth Canning was found guilty of perjury and was sentenced to be transported to America for seven years she was forbidden to return during that time, on pain of death. Her influential friends (some of them in the East India Company) made special arrangements for her to be shipped to America in comfort, in an Indiaman, saving her from the appalling squalor and dangers of a convict ship.
