Baby

The body of a newly-born child was found wrapped up in a brown paper parcel on the Pilgrim Road in Brabourne.

It was found by a labourer who had lived in Sandhole Cottages in Brabourne whilst he was walking along the road. He said that he saw the parcel on the bank and poked it with the toe of his boot and when he found that there was something in it he stooped down and tore a piece of the wrapping off to find that it contained the body of a child. He then covered it up and went off to find the police.
