The body of a newly-born child was found under a pew in the Church of the Sacred Heart in Horseferry Road, Victoria, London.

It was thought that the body had been left by two women. It was found by the statue of St. Joseph after two women left. It was heard that the two women had gone into the church and that one had knelt down to pray and that the other had gone over to the statue and deposited the bundle under a bench. The two women were seen by a domestic servant who was a voluntary worker in the church, however, she was not able to describe their dress or appearance other than the fact that one of the women had been wearing a hat and that the other had not.
