GRUESOME FIND.
CHILD’S REMAINS IN KEROSENE TIN.
Christchurch, Last Night
Last evening two residents were passing the City Council reserve at Shirley when they discovered the remains of an infant in a cut-down and rusty petrol tin, in the top of which a hole about six inches in diameter had been cut. The tin was seen by the same party six months ago, but on that occasion they did not look inside it. The identity of the infant is quite unknown, as well as the time of death but a glance at the remains shows it has been dead for some months. An inquest will be held, but it seems as if little or nothing as to the identity of the infant will be disclosed.
