The body of a newly-born male child was found wrapped up in a parcel by a road sweeper at about 11.15am on 11 September 1903.
The road sweeper had worked for the Bournemouth Corporation and had been at work in the grounds of The Mains in Harvey Road, Pokesdown when he noticed a peculiarly offensive smell which he said he speedily located as emanating from the grounds in question.
