MURDERERS at GREENWICH DISCOVEitELL

On Fr:day week it was reported that three young
men, gentleman's servants out of place, were the gailty
persons. That a circumstance occurred on Friday,
which threw suspicion on a young man, named Charles
Hussey, who was lately discharged from the service of
a gentleman named Stevenson, residing at Greenwici,.
Inthrmation was given to the proper authority, and
steps were immediately taken to apprehend him, but he
had fled. A man named raseidoa, who was a short
time ago discharged from the service of Mr. Parker, a
solimor there, a companion of Hussey's, was respected,
from his having been at that time constao:ly in Ilus-
scy's eempany. He was accordingly apprehended, and
taken before Mr. Smith, the magistrate, atel examined
privately.
Hirtsey has a brother at Peckham, a hair• dresser,
and a man much respected. He had deposited a bus M
his brother's house. As soon as he was suspected, Mrs.
Hussey examined the contents of the box, and discover..
ed three watches, a silver ladle, some silver spoons, it
quantity of linen and other articles, which she believed
was the property stolen from Mr. Bird's house She
took the property down to Greenwich on Saturday.—
Hussey, whom the officers ate in pursuit of, lodged at
the.Tigefs Fiead, and front the kitchen window had a
view of Mr. Bird's premises. lie slept at the Tit.,,er:s
Head on the night the murders were perpetrated ; but'
the landlord of that house does .not know whether be
was at home or not during the evening of that night.
He paid sixpence a night for his lodgiatv. Luring the
time that Haseldon lived with Mr. Paer, Mr. Bird's
will was made by Mr. Parker. Both ft:sell:in and
Hussey are young men of dissipated habits; and their
eharaeters being suspected, a native of Greenwich, a
Jr.N Morgan, a- few days after the murders were

mitted, -went to the magistrates' office and gave infor-
mation against them. They were apprehended and
taken to the cage ; but the next day were set at liberty.
Had their lodgings been then searched, llussey's at
least, some of the stolen property, would, no aught, have
been discovered at that that time.
On Saturday night, between seven andtighto'clocic,
an examination took place before the Greenwich Ma-
gistrates ; the investigation lasted a considerable time.
The property alluded to was produced by Mrs. Hussey
the .v. ife of :Jr. Hussey of Peckham. An elderly wo-
man, who wa.: employed as chuir-woman by Mr. Bird,
was brought tUrward on this occasion to examine tte
property produced by Mrs. f lussey, for the purpose of
identifyieg it, which she immediately was able to do.
She, it appears, is the only person besides the washer-
woman, that has any knowledge of the property of the
, late Mr. Bird. •It was not thought necessary-hy the
Magistrates to have the prisonetJlasehion brought be-
fere them ; and being in hourly expectation of receiv-
ing information of the apprehension of Hussey, they
ordered Haseldon to stand coaunittO for rc-exaaninit.
&Lee writing the above, we learn, that besides pro-
perty stolen, clothes stained with blood were in dial:r-
ent boxes, belonging to Charles Hussey.
Charles Hussey is about '27 years of age, 5 feet 8
inches high, of a ftir complexiou, grey eyes, brown
hair, and has an impediment in his speech ; wore a
black coat .pod waistwat, tniu,gled pantaloons* and a
hathapd zoand,ais bat.

.No tidings have yet been learnt of the retreat of
russey, who is suspected of being the perpetrator of
the late barbarous murders at Greenwich. His wife is
now confined in child bed in the country. Ilis father
is eaid to. have died J::ad, and ,Its cut her throat
under the inPucnce of inzaiiity.
The-wili -cri Mr. Bird, of •Grecntyir!i, was pored on
Wednesday, the awount of personal property was
sworn under 8,0001., the bulk of which is settled on
his son, and his son's children : there is no legacy to
the unfortunate person who liYed with him as house-
keeper
