The Curtis Bennett Inquiry

[David Orsam]

David I didn't say he had control just that he was possibly involved.

Yes, I think the Superintendent of the Executive Branch probably had a role to play in ordering or requisitioning items so I don't want to say you are wrong here and clearly Cutbush does have some connection with this business, as we shall see.

My understanding, Steve, is that the Receiver had full control of all police contracts (and, indeed, this is what Sir Charles Warren was complaining about in the strongest possible terms during 1888). But I do see how your mind was working and well done!

David I didn't say he had control just that he was possibly involved. In my experience in the public sector I saw how someone in a position of shall we say influence was able to manipulate those in control. Or alternatively they were in a great position to see wrong doing.

Keep it going, can't wait to see where this leads.

Cutbush is often portrayed as being just an admin man; however he had vast power and surely contracts came under his wing too.

No, but I have considered whether the "war" between the Commissioner and the Receiver is relevant to Evans' resignation. What I'm surprised about is that no-one has asked me why this thread is in the Charles Cutbush forum, but we will get there soon enough.

Well David , I assumed after you said what the investigation was for: payments and contracts, that such would be controlled by someone very high up. Cutbush is often portrayed as being just an admin man; however he had vast power and surely contracts came under his wing too. Maybe I am wrong on that but given his role he must have been involvef?
that was why I did not ask but said I understood why it was in section it was.

So David, are you thinking that perhaps Evans was a sacrificial sop to keep Warren safe?

Remember this, I'm not your pal, and I don't need you to give me any advice, far from it, so keep your nose out. I asked David if this thread had anything to do with the case. As for asking politely, you want to hold your hand over your fat mouth, in many threads in this forum you're anything but polite.

That's because morons, especially rude ones, don't understand how to respond to politeness.

Now either get back on topic and stop hijacking this thread or vamoose you silly chuckle head.

The thing is Elamarna, it sems double standards are in force here. When certain posters procrastinate, and tantalise, they are shot down in flames. As I said this thread now reaches the half century, and I merely asked what the hell it had to do with the case.

Piece of advise for you pal. If you wanted to know if davids posthad any bearing on the case as a whole, or if it had anything to do with a suspect, why didn't you just ask politely like a normal person. Like this:

Hi David
Does this info have anything to do with the case in general, or with a suspect specifically. I would be very interested to know if it does.

But as usual, you just act like an ass right off the bat. But hopefully your done interrupting a thread that a lot of people obviously find interesting. Casebook is not only about who the ripper was, if you hadn't noticed by now, that's why there are sections like" police officials and procedures" etc. LOL.

But please feel free to go back to posting more nonsense on the other threads. Your pretty good at it.

Mr Moser was, of course, our old friend, former C.I.D. detective-inspector Maurice Moser who had resigned from the Metropolitan Police in January 1887 and set up his own private detective agency in the Strand.

The telegraphic address of Moser's detective agency, incidentally, was "Shadows, London".

It matched in humour that of Scotland Yard which was "Handcuffs, London".

[Observer]

You're welcome.

[David Orsam]

it's a long shot though.

Yes, you have made your doubts very clear. Thank you for the disruption.

[Observer]

I can live with that. Good luck with your hunt, hopefully it will produce something of interest. it's a long shot though.

[David Orsam]

Now now, calm down you'll give yourself a hernia. By the way, I'm not the only one whose "still Going" In reality the aim of this forum in general is to try and discern who the Whitechapel murderer was. Regardless of the section, I'm fully entitled to ask what the hell this thread has to do with the Whitechapel murders. If you can't appreciate this point, tough.

Once again, Observer, thank you for your contribution to this thread which I am simply unable to place a value on.
