Thanks for this, Howard. Eli Caunter proved quite useful to Reid in the Tabram case. He had a knack for finding East End people who didn't want to be found.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

P.S. Was it not Caunter who was known as "Tommy Roundhead"?

Tom:
Yes, Caunter was known as Tommy Roundhead....and according to the A To Z's source, snagged Pearly Poll who had gone into hiding.

There's a serpent by that name too (Diporiphora australis).

[Robert Linford]

He left £450 in 1908.

And he was the officer who arrested ‘Scabby’ - Lewis Lewinsky - for the stabbing of ‘Fishy’ Jack Meady.
