Tumblety was arrested on 7th November 1888 on charges of gross indecency against 4 individuals:
1) John Doughty
2) Arthur Brice
3) Albert Fisher
4) James Crowley
I believe that one of these can be identified with some certainty owing to
1) the rarity of the name and
2) the likely age of young men in whom Tumblety was alleged to be interested.
This leads to the identification of Arthur Brice as follows:
Arthur Robert Brice.
