WHOLESALE BABY FARMING: SKELETONS OF ELEVEN CHILDREN DISCOVERED A GARDEN: At the Birmingham Police Court yesterday, Ann Pinsent, midwife, living at Nechells, was charged with concealing the birth of a child of an unmarried woman who had been confined at her house. It was explained that since the prisoner was first arrested some extraordinary revelations had been made. The skeletons of no fewer than eleven infants had already been found buried in a garden adjoining the prisoner’s house. The body of the child in question had not yet been traced, but it was known to have been born alive, and to have been seen alive some hours afterwards. On the following day the child was alleged by the prisoner to have died from convulsions. Prisoner was remanded for a week.
