The fire in the grate explained

[Paddy]

To Trevor, Joshua and Jerryd

It was described as a pilot coat and I do recall its provenance was established.

Maria said "I saw the black overcoat in a room in the court on Friday afternoon"

Maria Harvey stated she saw the black over-coat in another room in the court after the murder. A discussion was had years ago about this coat. I always felt it meant a room in Miller's Court, however, Michael Richards made a valid remark that it could have been a room in the court in terms of court room at the inquest. If it was in fact a room in Miller's court, it needs some explaining.

Many thanks for your answers. Still none the wiser. If anybody knows what happened to it I would love to hear ?....

Monday 12 November 1888 the London Evening Standard writes that the coat "had been found to" belong to the husband of Mrs Harvey.

Thanks Pierre

Do you think it meant that it was recovered and returned to her?
