The inquest into Mary Kelly's death opened at Shoreditch Town Hall on the morning of Monday the 12th of November, 1888.
One the jury had bee sworn in, they were taken to the nearby mortuary, where they viewed the body of the victim.
From here they were ushered along Commercial Street and into Dorset Street.
Here, they squeezed through the narrow entrance into Miller's Court and were taken into number 13, the room in which Jack the Ripper had murdered his latest victim.
Accompanying the jurors was a special reporter from The Pall Mall Gazette, and that night his report on what he had observed was published.
