A Conversation for Spring-Heeled Jack - 19th Century Enigma

source of Jane Alsop quote for "Spring Heeled Jack" story

The following quote allegedly made by Jane Alsop to police appears in several places on the web, including the Spring Heeled Jack article on h2g2:

"He wore a large helmet and a sort of tight-fitting costume that felt like oilskin. But the cape was just like the ones worn by the local policemen. His hands were as cold as ice and like powerful claws. But the most frightening thing about him was his eyes. They shone like balls of fire."

So far I have not been able to find any original source for this quote. Can someone help me find one? Does anyone have a scanned copy of the alleged original police report?

Many thanks in advance,
Dan
