What were the flaws of the Police that prevented the Ripper case from being solved?
What steps did they take that were like those used today to solve current crimes? |

One flaw in the Nichols murder was that Constables Neil and Thain, and possibly Sergeat Keirby [Kerby], were at the slaughterhouse having a cup of tea when the Murder happened. By the testimony given, if Constable Neil was in Bucks row at 3.15 a.m. and his beat took twelve minutes to complete, he should have been there again at 3.27 and 3.39. He didn't arrive back in Bucks Row until 3.41 so where was he when he should have been patroling?}}} |

I have a question, how many gas lamps were on a
street that the constables covered. was there one
on each corner or on the street themself, or vise versa. I was just wondering.

Bill,
From what Ive picked up looking at maps, books and other peoples various posts is that it depended on the street. The more 'used' main roads had more than a back alley for example.
The light given from these lamps was poor. Infact they were only useful to read anything if you were directly underneath one. I have read that they were used mainly as markers rather than illumination.
