The case for James Black as a resident of Baker Street is tenuous at best and the wikipedia entry for Carland Cross is so badly written it seems hardly a credible reference. So, unless better evidence is found, I'll stick to four, with Sexton Blake joining the other three. Thanks, people. It has been fun
