Thanks Robert, I did know it was Charrington, but not that the dinner went on as planned.

Thanks again.

Michael, Times Nov 10th 88.

And.......If anyone has information about a Charity Dinner for the East End residents in the Great Assembly Hall that was scheduled for November 9th? Organized by a local Beer Baron heir, and a man who personally saw to it that something like 200 brothels were closed during 87/88/89.....according to his biographer.

This was to seat 3000 locals a meal-sitting.

Thanks again.

Hello all,

There are 2 interesting pieces that Ive read before but caught my eye again in a glance through, I was wondering if anyone might have further information on either...

"The Central News learns that Private-detective Slater, of Basinghall-street, has submitted to the Scotland-yard authorities information of a most valuable character in connection with the personality of the Whitechapel murderer. It is believed that a most important arrest will shortly be made.

Up to last night, the police had made no special arrest regarding the late murders. The various districts are being patrolled by extra constables, and their zeal has led them into several excesses, notably an arrest of three young men made on Thursday night in Berner-street. The police have so much in mind the vague stories of an American perpetrator of the dastardly crimes than (sic) any person in a wide-a-wake or soft felt becomes an object of suspicion."

The second snippet is this...

MORE WRITING ON A WALL.

"It is stated that the words, "I shall do another murder and will receive her heart," have been found written in chalk on the footway in Camplin-street, Deptford. "

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Cheers.
