What did I read ? -your theory about Hutchinson getting the night wrong being quite conclusively trashed !
I did have a little laugh at your patently ridiculous scenario about Hutch being walled up with nothing but horses after the murder and inquest (?)...I would have enjoyed answering it, and I'm suprised that no one did demolish it ...I suppose that they didn't think that it was worth answering.
Lechmere -I went back and read everything about the Victoria ..and where is that book of ticks ?? The only difference I can see with that lodging house and other [B]slightly [/B ]better places, such as Crossinghams, was the potted history on the lodgers when they were first admitted -excluding all known bad characters. No doubt they didn't just have the information that the lodgers chose to give them as info (they probably simply googled them !).
Otherwise the 4d price, the fact that you needed to pay for a metal pass between 5.30pm and 12.30am or else apply for a night pass to get in after 1am seems much the same as all the rest. My two little scenarios on Berner and Hanbury fit very well.
Hang about, though ! There WAS an interesting bit of info in Harry's very interesting link..
You could leave personal effects with the deputy and sign for them..now considering that this deputy didn't use microscopes and forensic on items left with him..and I wonder if he wrote the contents of a 'bag' down, or not simply issue 'numbers' like we do at a swimming pool.? .this would be a very good way of keeping anything vaguely incriminating 'safe' until you got to the pawnbrokers.
