Hello all



I was impressed by the recent tour I took of the Museum of Liverpool but was disappointed to see the timeline which showed for 1889 that news of the "Maybrick Murders" were spread around the world by Liverpool newspapers. Only one murder, of course, that of the supposed poisoning murder of James Maybrick by his wife Florence. The other thing that I pointed out in my comments to the curators was a World War I price list that showed prices of 12 p, 8 p, 4 p, etc. Of course at that date, such price lists would more likely have been styled as 12 d, 8 d, 4 d not "p."

Possibly the Maybrick mistake is a confusion with the fact that James Maybrick, via the alleged Maybrick Diary, stands accused of the Ripper murders.
