A baby was found dead in a sack at St. Thomas's Cemetery.
The body was discovered by a man that had gone to the cemetery to see the grave of his wife and whilst going along the main path he had seen a sack with a hand protruding from it. He said that at first he had thought that it was a dog and then walked on but on coming back he opened the sack and saw the body of a child.
