Interesting stuff! Looks like it could have been G.R. Sims who supplied the details related to the Macnaghten Memorandum, as he wrote for The Referee at some point.

There are a couple of other interesting remarks made by Sims in the 'Mustard & Cress' columns....let me see if I can dig them up. They're on the boards.

There may be something concerning MLM and Sims in here :

In the early part of the 20th century ( look for those two threads in the Newspaper section, when possible), Sims mentions the drowned doctor theory on a few occasions....link to follow.

George Sims was a Druitt man. Since that's the case, this line referring to Jack The Ripper being released from an asylum would be about Druitt.
