In the initial draft of his Memorandum he talks about three Jews interrupting him in Berner St.
Confusing the three Jews - Lawende & Co., with Diemschitz, who was alone.
So, his "City PC in Mitre Sq", may have been PC Smith in Berner St.
The man PC Smith saw was a genuine suspect, the police published his description in the press.
Macnaghten is bound to support a police constable's sighting of a suspect, in preference to a regular citizen (Cox, Long, Hutchinson).
