Place: Moor Dike Stream, Ings Bridge, Beverly High Road, Hull

The body of a newly-born female child was found in Moor Dike stream near Ings Bridge, Beverly High Road in Hull by some boys that had been playing on the bank.

When they first found it, some of the boys indicated that they were going to bury it, but they then just threw it back into the water. However, one of the boys, a 13-year-old, then got it out again and took it to the police. The boy that did so was warmly complimented at the inquest.
