Vrome, have not been discovered, although every
bus been inade by the Marquis
of .fifth, on the. borders of whose park Mr. Webb's
house wits situated, its well as °thee wealthy mini-
bitants of that country that, has, however, been
taken into custody on suspicion of the horrid deeds,
but the circumstances against him are very slight.
He works in a woollen eloth-munttlactoi:y, and is
called u sbearman. , The circumstances that led
to his apprehension are, 'Mr. Webb hoarded a
great nunaber of geineas, and had a considerable
quantity of silver plate by him, of which he kept
ft,sehedttle, in which he stated that he had marked
the articles with an iron instrument, with a W„or
two V's. Soon after the Murders and robbery, the
prisoner changed a neve guinea at a public-house'
in that neighbourhood, for a pint of ale, aud told
the landlord to take ,for tbree pints,. which he Wyatt
hiln; the landlord observed that he did not °wenn,
any ale to his knowledge; the prisoner persisting
that he ilido(ve for it, the landlord took the money,

his conduct, struck hint es very c7:traordinary.---;,,
About the same time, he 'tendered in payment a
. hoarded shilling, of the coinage of King George
11. which was very bright ; the consequence was,
that not being known. in that country, it was
called by souse of the ignorant a counterfeit
eighteen penny token, and' by'others a booth Sea

and other eircnnisiances the prisoner was taken
into cnstody.---When he will at, work its tlia
manufactory 'after the murders, and previous
to ,his being taken into custody,: the gene,
rid conversation among his brother manufac.
turers was, that a sit carman was 'suspected of
being the murderer, from the circumstance of his
having changed the guinea and did
not join in the conversation, nor did he say he
:Was the man who changed the guinea and shilling.
The acconut hel:ave, when he -Was ht ettstoily, of
his having possession cif the guinea was, that he
found it, wrapped up in a piece of .whitey brown
paper with a sixpence, at the entrance into Frame.
At that time he stated himself to have walked a
