the victims werent prostitutes

[Herlock Sholmes]

Hi Michael

I hope your dad is soon on the mend.

If you take him some grapes, keep an eye on them.

Thanks Robert but this is getting way too spooky. On dad’s ward there’s a nurse Packer! I kid you not. If I find out that one of the porters is called Netley or there’s a cleaner called Crook I’m having him moved.

Hi Herlock,

Best regards to your Dad for a speedy recovery.

Please tell him he's got nothing to fear from Dr. Gull, either in 1888 or now.

Regards,

Simon

Thanks Simon

Hi Herlock,

Barnett original witness statement—

"I have lived with her altogether about 18 months, for the last eight months in Millers Court, until last Tuesday week (30 ulto) when in consequence of not earning sufficient money to give her and her resorting to prostitution, I resolved on leaving her."

They had allegedly lived in Millers Court since March 1888.

What event occurred to make them stop paying rent six weeks earlier on 5th October 1888 [6 x 4/6d = 27/-], and why did McCarthy allow them to continue living there?

By the way, their rent was something of a bargain at twopence less per week than a double bed in a registered common lodging house.

Regards,

Simon

I'm sure I read somewhere that if you spent a week in a lodging house you got one night free? Which would make the room actually dearer than a week's stay in a lodging house, plus you had to supply your own coal and launder your own bedding. 😉

In 1911, a man named Thomas King made rather a hash of his census form and unnecessarily included the rent for his single room in 11, Paternoster Row - it was 4/6 per week. So 13, Miller's Court doesn't seem to have been too much of a bargain.

Simon, as I’d recently been reading about your rebuttal of Stephen Knight’s Conspiracy theory I wondered today if I’m being stalked down the ages in revenge. My dad’s currently in hospital and I noticed this office next to his ward.

Thank you Simon

I think Benelius ran up arrears too, didn't he?

Nope.

I’m still clueless as to what point is being made here?

Or Juwes in Scarborough.

If the rent owing was 27 shillings,not 29,Mary Kelly's rent had not been paid since the weekend of the double event.
Her namesake and also the defacto of the chap living next to Bowyer were murdered that night.

Come on Dave
It's all coincidence , we know that
Bit like the Russian sightseers in Salisbury

Hi Herlock,

The rent arrears was a tacit way of letting us know that MJK had been in Room 13 for at least six weeks.

According to Barnett, MJK didn't go back on the game until the end of October [ten days before the Millers Court murder].

Hi Simon,

Could you expand on the emboldened part a bit please?

[Simon Wood]

Hi Packers,

Personally, I doubt that any letters addressed to "MJK" and postmarked Ireland arrived at McCarthy's shop.

Simon
