Her body was taken to the General Infirmary at Leeds. Though the hearse
did not reach Leeds till midnight, it was met by a considerable number
of people who were waiting for it. At the Infirmary her body was
exhibited at the charge of 3d. a head to visitors for the benefit of the
institution. At this rate 2500 individuals were admitted, and upwards of
£30 was realised. Her body was afterwards dissected, and in compliance
with a favourite Yorkshire custom, her skin was tanned and distributed
in small pieces to various applicants.
