The excerpt in the question is from the fourth chapter titled "The Carew Murder Case". Here, inspector Newcomen and Mr. Utterson had gone on investigating the actions of Mr. Hyde for they had seen him act suspicious a lot lately. So, when they had gone to check his room, they saw that the room was in disarray, with burnt papers, lockers opened in a rush and so on. Then, the inspector declared that he might know what the situation is and went to the bank. There they found Mr. Hyde's account had been credited with several thousand pounds.
