Baby

The body of a newly-born child was found in the Aire and Calder Canal at Royston.

The body was found by an unemployed miner whose attention was attracted to it by a gloating bass in the canal. The body was wrapped up in brown paper that had then been placed in a blue raffia bag. When he drew it to the side and opened it he found that it contained the body of a male child about two months old.
