APPREHENSION OF TUE SUPPOSED MURDERER.

On Sunday the Magistrate* (who have met daily since
Ibis transaction look place) who Newel themselves into a
Committer, to prosecute the affair with the greater %tweets,
mel again as the tioirreditiesse, and a inset named 71/4orosrts
adwruc ass brow:obi befoie 'Lem by May. the officer or
Ciii tttt and examined upon suspicion of being the mur-
derer of Cox Alai his examination he was committed, and
moseyed to town on Sunday night by May, and lodged in
li..r•eincinger•lant•

The cause or his apprehension was, that n baker's boy,
who delivered Isre.ol at Isis house sere the morning id' Mon-
day, the day alter Ilse murder, had slated that he saw an
apron Ouch as P. muter generally 11011.) in his house, in •
bloody ldiom, and rf usher eitrainstances which are
stated beluw, that castle out during his examination.

The Prisoner eaaa kcal fur Mr. Northey, at Epsom, in his
ealdens, and 'whir to the murder he lifted to cut the fruit
trees with a clasp pruning knife; and on Monday, the day
lifter the mord, r was committed, he used a long ca.ae knife
to prime the tires, anal each a knife as the Primmer used was
found near the body of the deceased.
'rite Prisoner** sister-in-law, end a man named Saunders,
who worked with prisoner at Mr. Ntwthey's Gardens, deposed
that the knife found near the dead body was very much lake
the our they bad seen the prisoner use, but they could not
speak positively that it was the same. Saunders stated also
the Prismier MI the Monday after the murder worked with
him in Air. Nurthey's Gardens, and his conduct was very
different from what at formerly was, he was not so socialde
as ha fore, but kept at a distance and " appeared very shy."
This witness did not oh the jpiltris II on the Prisoner's
head on Satan day, the day Infant the murder was committed,
nor sin Monday after, fur he wure his hat and that covered
them

There could be bud little doubt that some of the persons
vitae committed the murder must have received some per.
owned injury from the determined resistance made by Cox.
The Prisoner was found to have received some injuries on
his forehead and also nee hi. head. The account he gives of
diem is, that lie received them -on the day the murder was
cummitted, by filling from a fruit-tree ; but he brought no
lumen forward In whom lie hail mentioned having met with
the accident. The Presenter denied the assertions of the
hawker's boy ; lie declared that no bloody apron was in his
house, and said i 1 must lee an invention of the lad's. The
boy, hoary, r, persisted in his story. When the Prisoner
was iansuitieel Oil this day week before the Magistrates, he
was Fiske.% if he wore storks in his shoes ? He very calmly
replied, " Nu, I do not."
On Sundry, when the Prisoner was spiel Wore the Ma.
gistrates, the quest' shout lids wearing wicks was not again
;nit hl him; but it occurred to May, that his former account
might nut lie efirrelri, need lie thought it proper to (*amine
his .hors, and, to his surprise, found a new stick in one shoe,
and so old •in the other, resembling the one found ,uear
Cox's dead
The prisoner. Osborne, Is more strongly suspected front
his being a puncher, but at is hot believed that lie was alone
in the transaction. May, tie officer, left London immedi-
ately lifter lie hail secured Osborne, in Newington goal, hay-
ing received inturnisiiiin of another per•ou t., ing concerned.
The Prisoner being shewii the bloody kniie found near
COX.* corpse said, that it was nut his, and that he was in-
nocent of the murder.
