in the 1890s, a phrase to mean "thank you,"

By a street urchin. Maybe cockney... something a bit more colorful than "thank you, I owe you..."

How to say "Get Lost" in the late 1880s?

I'm looking for a phrase from a common man in London said to a street urchin around the 1880s that would be the equivalent of "Scram," or "Take a hike." I don't want something so obscure a reader...
