 Crowds reportedly mobbed Tothill Fields Bridewell for months , hoping to catch a glimpse of the now infamous Toft . By this time she had become quite ill , and while incarcerated had her portrait drawn by John Laguerre . She was ultimately discharged on 8 April 1727 , as it was unclear as to what charge should have been made against her . The Toft family made no profit from the affair , and Mary Toft returned to Surrey . She had a daughter in February 1727 , and reappeared briefly in 1740 when she was imprisoned for receiving stolen goods , but her death was reported in 1763 .
