This one intrigued me. Details of a play called "Dear Boss" written by the great great nephew of Montague Druitt! the passage in questions says:
"Both then and now, terror was spread, newspapers were sold, and the killings continued. It astonished me how little this sort of reporting has changed in the hundred fifteen years since the furor around Jack the Ripper brought serial killing to the public consciousness, and it occurred to me that this observation was a strong entry point into a play about the Whitechapel killings, which was a project that I had been researching for two or three years, as the result of learning that my great, great uncle, Montague Druitt had been unjustly named a suspect in a dubious piece of correspondence known to Ripperologists as the McNaughton Memorandum."
The full article about the play can be found at

Resume of a new theory on jack!
The article starts:
JACK THE RIPPER- A New Theory
Well, Guys and ghouls, in my new book (almost finished so I thought I'd spring a brief version of the theory here) I propose a new plausible theory for the identity of the 19th Century Serial Killer known as Jack the Ripper. The Book is called "Saucey Jack" and if u r a publisher feel free to contact me.

Extremely fictional. Screws up many of the facts of the case and poor Sherlock is forced to say all sorts of moronic statements to support the theory that the Masons did it. When I first read this a year or more ago there was an accompanying essay by the author about how Stephen Knight was right and everyone else who wrote about the case was supposedly an imbecile. I guess it's hard to argue with him if even the great Sherlock Holmes agrees. I tried to find the essay via Google without paging through the entire site, but didn't have any luck. |

This is a digitising project which describes the site as follows:
"The Proceedings of the Old Bailey London 1674 to 1834
A fully searchable online edition of the largest body of texts detailing the lives of non-elite people ever published, containing accounts of over 100,000 criminal trials held at London's central criminal court.
Now contains 45,000 trials, from December 1714 to December 1799"
The current porject is to get transcripts and scans online of all trials from 1714 to 1834.
Re later trials they say:
Plans for Digitisation of 1834-1913 Proceedings
From December 1834 to April 1913 the Proceedings continued to be published under the title of The Proceedings of the Central Criminal Court. We are currently seeking funding to allow us to add these trials to this website.
Worth al look- a very well presented and absorbing site

Salute is the yearly wargames show at London Olympia , and the Ripper adventure was in the programme for the 2002 show I think ( I went that year and also this year ! ).
The pre-programmed adventure was first printed in Miniature Wargames magazine , and the Ripper figures are conversions of Wargames Foundry figures by Kev Dallimore !
