Grantham Journal: Saturday 10th August 1878

Suspected Murder of Children in Birmingham: A case which promises some startling revelations was opened before the Birmingham Stipendiary on Thursday week. Ann Pinsent, a midwife, was charged with concealing the birth of an illegitimate child. It has been known for some time past that Pinsent was in the habit of receiving into her house women whom she attended during confinement. The children so born mysteriously disappeared, being rarely seen by the neighbours beyond a few hours after birth. A few days ago, a party of men excavating in the garden adjoining the prisoner’s house found a box containing the body of an infant. The discovery was duly reported to the authorities and became the subject of much comment among the neighbours. A further search of the garden was made by the police, with the result that the bodies of eleven infants were found. The authorities were not prepared on Thursday to lay evidence before the Court and Pinsent was remanded for a week.
