Mr Mayhew (The Under Dog)


 * Not to be confused with Mr Mayhew, the solicitor of Leonard Vole in Witness for the Prosecution.

In the short story The Under Dog, Mr Mayhew is the solicitor of Charles Leverson who had been arrested for the murder of his uncle Sir Reuben Astwell. Mayhew was described as a "thin, dry, cautious gentleman". He was at first reluctant to discuss his client but Poirot managed to gain his confidence and got him talking.

Mr Mayhew is not featured in the film adaptation of the story in Series 5 of ITV's Agatha Christie's Poirot.
