The body of a newly-born child was found in a well in a field at Westwood Farm in Leigh.
The body was discovered by a farm bailiff as he was walking through the field after having been out to inspect some fields of wheat. He said that as he was walking homewards through Westwood Farm he heard water dripping into a well in the middle of the field, and said that as there was not normally much water in the well that he thought that he would see how high the water there had reached after the recent heavy rains.
