It seems inconceivable that the police could have found him at Pickfords that quickly.
Prior to his contact with the police in the aftermath of his bypassing Mizen without giving any personal details, it is clear the police knew nothing about his identity save that he may possibly have looked like a carman.
The police clearly took some time to track Robert Paul down and they had his name - and if they began a house to house search or door to door enquiry eastwards from Bucks Row theywould have found Paul quite quickly.
On the Saturday at the inquest the police were in ignorance of the two carmen. The window of opportunity to find Charles Lechmere at Pickfords was miniscule.
