By means of clothing which partially covered a skeleton found in a

of Frank Fielding, baker and bread hawker, aged about 56, of
20 Range Bank, Halifax, who had been missing for two years.

Bridge, and, late the same afternoon, he was seen passing through
Pecket Well, on the fringe of the moor.

The remains were found by a farmer who went on to the swampy moor to
open a land drain.

moor, stumbled into the drain and was drowned or died from exposure
