Not identified. London directories, 1856-1858, list no Holme at the above address, nor do they list a T. M. HoIme at another address. The address indicates that the contributor was probably in the legal profession; he may be the solicitor Iames Wilson Holme. The initials recorded in the Office Book seem clearly to read ''T.M.''; they may, however, be intended for "J.W." In Bentley's Miscellany, 1838, appeared a poem by M. Torre Holme. The Office Book occasionally records a contributor's initials in reverse order.
