Is this the one

Nov 7, 1863

An inquest was held at Little Driffield, on the body of the infant child of John SAVAGE.  Supt YOUNG went to make enquiries as to what had become of the body of a child said to have been born about a week previous.  SAVAGE hesitated in answering the questions put to him, but upon being told that the whole of the garden would be dug over, he said he might as well tell them.  He pointed out the spot and on the removal of one or two spades full of soil, one of the arms of the little one was laid bare.  The body, which had been buried like a dog, was taken up and conveyed to the Langley Arms.  Dr SCOTCHBURN attended and gave the opinion it was a child of about 7 months and never breathed.  SAVAGE is to be brought before magistrates to answer the charge of concealment of birth.
