The body of a newly-born child was found in a brook near Kenwith.

A solicitor from Bideford said that he had been out shooting with a friend in a field at the back of Kenwith House and when he was walking along the bank of a goyle he saw the naked body of the child lying on its left side in a little water. It was in a place that was otherwise thickly wooded and secluded.
