Īccording to Daniel Smith in his book The Sherlock Holmes Companion, Holmes was skilled at developing a network of agents who could assist him in any situation, and this network included multiple "outsider" figures such as the Baker Street Irregulars as well as Cartwright, Billy, and former criminal Shinwell Johnson. Another similar character, a pageboy named Billy, assists Holmes in " The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone".
Cartwright is described as a "lad of fourteen" in the novel. At one point Watson sees the disguised Cartwright running errands, and describes him as "a small urchin" and a "ragged uncouth figure".

Wiggins receives three shillings and sixpence (which he calls "Three bob and a tanner" ) from Holmes for expenses in addition to his regular wage. As in A Study in Scarlet, the group enters 221B Baker Street together and Holmes instructs them to only have Wiggins report to him in future. In this story, Holmes describes them as "the unofficial force - the Baker Street irregulars". They also appear in the next novel, The Sign of the Four (1890), set in 1888, in which one of the chapters is titled "The Baker Street Irregulars".
