Quite a bit of mixing and matching going on. Sportsman McCarthy didn't own Millers Court. Abraham Barnett did. Sportsman Jack was the only person associated with 27 Dorsey Street known to promote boxing matches and raise funds for hospitals. He wouldn't have had too much time to go around collecting rent. I suspect a few of the newspaper(s) would have made the assumption that he was also the landlord because they had his business address from Kelly's Inquest testimony, which was given by the 'other' McCarthy (the General Shop Keeper and the actual Landlord) because he lived there. Sportsman Jack and his family did not live there. So the future father-in-law of Kay Kendall only conducted his grocer's business from the ground floor -- likely employing the other 'John' as a shop keeper.
So who do you think the other McCarthy was then? And the wife, Mary? The son, George?
