The body of a newly-born child was found tied up in a parcel in the drive leading to Poltesco in Truro on Tuesday 3 January 1922.
The body was found by a gardener when he was going to work. The body was wrapped up in paper, the cover with a double thickness of blue paper and tied up tightly with string. The gardener said that as there was blood on the parcel that he thought that it was something for the dog and gave the parcel to the servant.
