	The Cases of Montague John Druitt - Martin Fido
		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 Montague’s 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.

		And Druitt quite possibly felt angry about his decision not to study to be a doctor (as so many Druitt men had).
		Secondly, given the circumstances of Druitt vis-a-vis his parents, Druitt can be reasonably assumed to have a motive (to get revenge against his mother for going mad, and allowing him to be born, and to subconsciously live out the fantasy of being like his father).
		It's my opinion that Druitt didn't commit suicide, but that his family suspected him all along, and had him murdered (his coat was filled with heavy stones, and his body was not discovered until weeks after he began his sleep on the bottom of the river).
