This is my understanding of the beats of Watkins and Harvey.

Right. Whatever.

I owe you an apology Wolf. I got confused with White.

Sorry

Off Duty

Sacked for being Jack the Ripper while on duty would probably be the worst.

I suspect that, even off duty, it would be frowned upon somewhat!

[Wolf Vanderlinden]

Sagar is incorrect.

Right. Whatever.

Hello Neil. Thanks. Looks like he had no difficulty articulating how he felt.

Cheers.

Phil,

The majority was drunk on duty, usually after so many warnings.

The worst was Hutt who struck a prisoner whilst in the dock at Moor Lane court. Others include bribery, assaulting a sergeant/fellow constable, neglect of duty (usually being caught in the pub) and AWOL.

Lynn,

Mostly he (Smith) initials however if he has something to say he will do.

The one that springs to mind is again Hutt, who asked for a parchment of reccomendation. Basically Smith noted upon Hutts records, in red ink, that he thought Hutt was a bit cheeky in asking for one (after what he had done at Moor Lane) and that he wasnt going to authorise it.

Smith

Hello Neil. Did he merely affix his signature or actually interject comments?

Cheers.

Hello Monty,

What are the worst reasons you have seen from this period? I just wondered where the line was drawn for actually recording the fact, if any?

Regards

Phil

[Robert]

Thanks Monty.

Hi,

Its not unusual for records to be missing or part missing.

Its happened with quite a few Bobbies and is down to a combination of poor record maintenence, deterioration, space and yes, the blitz.

PS - My experience for those dismissed for serious offences, is that Henry Smiths scrawl in red ink appears.

Hi Phil

I don't know how common it is for a reason for dismissal to be absent from the record. If it is very uncommon, then it would be suggestive. But if the authorities were trying to keep something hidden, wouldn't they just invent a reason for the record?

Remember "John Drake"? I think he had Harvey in the frame.

Samsonite briefcase!

I still find it odd that two of the policemen who gave evidence at the Eddowes inquest were both dismissed same month same year.

Hello Robert,

A theorist's dream set up! Until anything else is found- it will just be an oddity.

Kind wishes

Phil
