When I saw this Times item from Oct 20th 1893, I wondered if there was a Glasshouse St in Highgate, as that was the area covered by Y division. However, the shorter Lloyd's item from Oct 29th 1893 makes it clear that it was the "West end" Glasshouse St.
Hello Robert. Thank you very much young man. It begins to look like a boarding house after all. This encourages me to look again into the want ads.
In looking over some posts above, I hope I did not leave the impression that my cutting on Tumblety as neighbour was anything but coincidence. (Although I am looking over the dear old snake oil salesman for a different reason.)
Hello All. In continuing to research the MJK event, and its possible antecedents, I have found that there is a Lomasney web site along with a photo of William Francis Lomasney.
As you recall, William Francis (Mackey) Lomasney was killed, along with his brother and John Fleming, when the bomb they were carrying exploded prematurely beneath London Bridge, December 13, 1884.
Sir Edward Jenkinson had, some time before, ordered grates installed, expecting just such an event. When it finally happened, Clan-na-Gael claimed that the Spymaster General's people had tampered with the device, thus causing the 3 deaths.
It seems clear, however, that Sir Edward did, at least, have information beforehand, and that it originated from Philadelphia. That would seem to implicate John Patrick Hayes as the purveyor of intelligence. (See Professor Campbell's book.)

Three men were blown to atoms - two brothers named Donovan from Chicago and Jack Fleming who have only been in America a few years and formerly lived at Rotherhithe.
The Lomasney brothers' family certainly were promised support by subscriptions from their compatriots in America, as the author of the book mentions.
Hello Debs. Quite right. And, if I recall, that lack of support is what sparked the feud between Cronin and Sullivan, leading to Dr. Cronin being killed.
Hello All. Here is the listing for Glasshouse st, 1888. There are 3 living at #16, so it really was (or seems to be) a boarding house. Miss Worth was supposed to be in charge at some point in 1886.
