Has anyone looked in Carter Lane in the 1891 census for the Jacob Cohen who provided information about Kosminski that year?

It's so obvious that I presume someone has looked, but I couldn't see any information, positive or negative, on the new or old boards.

Sorry - I should have looked in the dissertations. In Scott Nelson's one on "Kosminski's Relatives" is this:
The 1891 census shows that Cohen's given address, 51 Carter Lane, EC, St. Paul's, was a hotel/restarant and pub with cooks, waitresses, barmaids and borders. No "Cohen" was among them in the April census, although there were many lodging houses in the area and Cohen may have left there between February and April.
