Cooney, Smith, Crossingham, McCarthy, owners

[SirJohnFalstaff]

I've been reading a few books recently about Old Nichols, Spitalfields and Whitechapel.

It appears that some tenants didn't know who their landlords truly were, since it went through several channels and ended up to some top notch people.

So, I was wandering, these guys, did they actually owned the buildings of their doss houses, or were they leasing as well?

Thank you.

Pretty sure there was a bit of both involved.

With regards to McCarthy, it's well worth checking out Trevor Bond's article in Ripperologist #142.
