The body of a newly-born child was found in the River Aire at Thorpe Stapleton.
The child was found by a ploughman and his little boy as they were out for a walk. The little boy had first seen the body and pointed it out to his father saying, 'Look, it's like a doll'. When the ploughman looked closer he said he saw the body of the child floating in an eddy a few feet from the bank.
