On February 5th, 1889, Thomas Barry appeared before the Central Criminal Court to answer an indictment for common nuisance. At his premises at 106 and 107 Whitechapel Road he had mounted gaudy theatrical entertainment hoardings and exhibited such feasts for the eye as a fat Frenchwoman, a female pugilist, a woman described as being half human and half gorilla and a midget. What had caused particular consternation was the addition in the autumn of 1888 of "waxwork effigies of the women who were murdered in Whitechapel". The account goes on: "A picture was also put on show...considered by the public to be too strong and the people threatened to tear it down." It is also recorded that an effigy of Jack The Ripper was also added to the exhibition ( One wonders how they decided what he looked like?). The crowds that assembled outside the exhibition and to see the posters and listen to the showman who would occasionally bark out the entertainments therein, frequently spilled on to the highway and the verdict of the court was that this was a public nuisance. Barry was ordered to enter into his own recognizance and was bound over for the sum of 100 Pounds.
