Baby

The body of a newly-born male child was found in the River Witham in the Glory Hole off of Water Lane in Lincoln.

It was found by a labourer that had been wheeling his barrow down the lane who said that he saw the parcel in the river wedged against a pile of the bridge and the wall. He said that he became suspicious and got hold of the string that the parcel was tied up with but said that it broke and so he got a piece of cloth and pulled the parcel out of the river.
