The Diary—Old Hoax or New?

[MrBarnett]

I was curious about DO’s ‘New JTR Suspect Identified!’ blog. What a load of old cobblers.

Ike,
I typed 'one off' in the search box of an English paper's archived edition, specifically for 19th century usage,and came up with thousands of references.When I say 'one off' i do mean the two words together,as printed here.
Not saying 'one off' meaning as is written in the diary,I haven't began a search for that yet,but I do not really need to.It seems the term,or expression,was so common in those days,that it's quite possible a person living then could have used it in the way it was used in the diary.

David Barrat is his name. As he's also a frequent contributor to Ripperologist Magazine, you may have recognized it.

Hello Ike,

Why does the name David Barrat appear at the end of David Orsam's rant? I'm confused here.
