MONTAGUE JOHN DRUITT (547 words) |
 | Montague John Druitt was born in 1857 in Dorset. |
| Druitt graduated with a degree in classics and went to teach at a boarding school in Blackheath. |
| Druitt did not live nor frequent the East End and there was no train service between his lodging in Blackheath and London that would allow him to commit the murders and return home. |
| The Cases of Montague John Druitt - Martin Fido (1726 words) |
| Druitt had taken up a complicated and tricky little electoral registration dispute, originally handled for the Conservatives in Christchurch by the Druitt family firm of solicitors (headed by Montagues brother William). |
| Druitt called their Lordships attention to the wording of the original 1832 Reform Act which, he argued, covered just such cases as joint occupancy under Borough Households - though to make clear its occupancy as two households, the Vicarage should have been described as a tenement and not a dwelling house. |
| For Mr Goffee points out that William claimed not to have seen Montague since the end of October; yet this seems highly improbable given that Montague was to plead on behalf of the firm three weeks later, on 22nd November, and the family would have a small triumph to celebrate on that day. |
