Hi All,
The Ripper being James Monro is a non-starter.
In Bengal, between 15th January and 2nd November 1876, Monro was on sick leave, the result of a horse riding accident which left him with a permanent and pronounced limp.
At the time of his appointment as Assistant Commissioner it was rumoured that Queen Victoria might object because he had to walk with the aid of a stick and could not mount a horse for ceremonial occasions.
Thus was Monro not an ideal candidate for our fleet-footed JtR.
Happy New Year.
Simon
