Rubyrertro – I am glad you picked up on the special pass.
Maybe you missed this bit though from ‘In Whitechapel’:
"Here also (unlike ordinary lodging-houses) registers are kept. Every man’s name and occupation is entered in the books, and these records against the names are filled up and make brief histories"
You seem interested in this rule mentioned in ‘Later Leaves’:
“Lodgers who are fortunate enough to possess extra clothing or other personal effects, can leave them in charge of the deputy, who will give a receipt for the same.”
I don’t think a sensible Ripper would leave his bloody clothes, fine knives and possible body part trophies with the deputy.
Yes Fisherman – the theory that Hutchinson got disgruntled and believed the police were covering up for some posh bloke does tie in with the day out theory.
I don’t think Hutchinson being a sad peeping tom or stalker is very romantic at all. A bit seedy in my opinion. But hey! We can each have our own view of romance can’t we! After all it's Valentine's Day.
