The body of a newly-born male child was found tied up in a sack with its neck broken in a pond on Blackheath.

The doctor said that the wounds to the child were so extensive that they had evidently been feloniously inflicted.

The inquest returned a verdict of 'Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown’.
