LIVERPOOL MURDER.
APPREHENSION of the SUPPOS►'.D MURDERER.
(From the Liverpool Mercury of yesterday.)!

Yesterday evening, a little after nine o'clock, a man,
supposed to be the murderer, was brought to the police-
office in High-street, by Mr. Miert Samuel, outfitter, cor-
ner of Stewart-street, Great Howard-street. The pri-
soner had been several times during the day at the shop
of Mr. Samuel, offifing a gold watch for sale. Mr.
Samuel suspected, from the urgency with which he
pressed the sale, that the watch had not been honestly
obtained, and asked the mart to walk to the police-
office. That he consented to do, and when he reached
the office his general appearance raised the suspicion
that he was the person for whom such anxious search
had been made. His dress was changed, however. In-
stead of a hat he wore a cap. He bed a pair of new
blue trousers on, new stockings, anerii:iiew silk hand-
kerchief in his poeket. His- hair is cut off straight be-
hind, giving it the appearance of being short. The
prisoner answers exactly the description given of the
murderer. He had a wild and confused look, and ap-
peared somewhat in liquor. When asked if he had
been drinking, he said he had taken a few glasses. He
acknowledged that he was at Tranmere on Tuesday;
and when asked where he was on Wednesday, he said
he was about the docks.
The boy M‘Dermott, who delivered the letter for him
at 20, Leveson-street, and who had conversed with him
for some minutes, and had seen him again at the house,
picked him out from amongst eight other men, and speaks
positively to him. Again, the prisoner was placed in
the middle of feiurteen men, and another man, who had
seen him on Wednesday, was asked to pick- him out if
he were present. After exesarhing.themen, he said
the man with the cap (the prisoner) was the per-
son, if he were amongst them,.but he should not like to
speak positively unless he saw him with a hat on his
head. Whilst standing amongst the crowd of men, the
prisoner betrayed considerable forced levity, remarked
that the police should be sure of a man before they ap-
prehended him on suspicion, and made other confused
observations. There is a peculiarity about his mouth
and teeth, which is more apparent when ho speaks, that
would render his identification a matter of greater cer-
tainty by ono who had conversed with him.
The prisoner, when asked his name, said it was John
Gleeson Wilson, and that he was an engineer. Mr.
Cox's boy failed to identify the prisoner. When Mr.
Dowling took off the cap from the head of the man he
seized hold of it, and said, " That's mine; I paid for that
with my own money."
(From a Second Edition of the Liverpool Mercury.)
The man, John Gleeson Wilson, who was apprehended
to-night, has just been ordered by Mr. Dowling to be
locked up on the charge of wilful murder. Without at
all attempting to prejudge the case, we may state there
can be no doubt he is the man for wiom search has
been made. A person answering his description exactly
called at the house of Miss Harrison, 19, Upper Pitt-
street, on Wednesday afternoon, and asked far lodgings,
and the same afternoon he offered the gold watch for
sale at Tranmere. The mother of Mrs. Henricksen,
who arrived in town from Hull to-night, has identified
the watch and chain found in the possession of the pri-
soner as those belonging to her daughter. A puhse also
found upon the prisoner has been identifid by tie char-
woman who was in the habit of washing at the house as
the property of Mrs. Henrickson. The prisonerstated
he bought the purse at Bristol, and also one of theshirts,
of which he had three on his back, one of them laving
lately undergone partial washing about the sleeve,. Mr.
Superintendent Clough having cautioned the prisoner,
told him he was charged with the wilful murder of two
children. He replied, in a half-careless, half-impetuous
manner, "I am satisfied to stand my trial for it." Mr.
Dowling ordered the prisoner to strip, and stains of
blood were found, upon his black silk handkerchief. 'As
before stated, he had three shirts on, his trousers, cep,
and neckerchief were new. On Wednesday even-
ing he lodged in a house in Porter-street, in this tovn
where he had given a shirt stained with blood to se
washed. Police-officer Toole went to this house after
his apprehension, and there found a hat with crape on.
This hat answered exactly the description given in the
bills, and when placed on the head of the prisoner, con.
siderably changed his personal appearance. When the
hat was shown to him he said, " That is mine; I'll prove
it." The prisoner has only been married a few months.
He left his wife at Mr. Lewis's house, Lower Tranmere,
about two months ago, and where he has been since
his friends were not aware, although they heard he had
been at London, Bristol, and other places. A police-
officer was dispatched to Lower Tranmere, and he ob-
tained a letter in his own handwriting, which had been
addressed by the prisoner to his wife. On comparing
the writing with the directions of the letter found near
the pond at Windsor by Mr. Caine, they were found to
correspond. When asked where has got the _trousers;
the prisoner said, " That is for you to find out." The
boy from whom he took the potatoes at the door, now
speaks positively to the prisoner, and in seeing the differ-
ence in the countenance which is made by substituting
the hat for the cap, there is no wilder that a mistake at
first in the identity should be the aJnsequence. Late as
the -hour was, the news of the apprehension of the sup-
posed murderer spread through the town, and there was
a considerable number of person; in the neighbourhood
of the police-office. Mr. Dowlin;, at the time the news
reached him, was at the Collegiate Institution hearing
Jenny Lind, and when the intelligence was conveyed to
him, it soon was whispered about Ilea an important com-
munication had reached the head :onstable, and consi-
derable sensation was evinced in tie ball.
The prisoner appeared exceedingly restless and con-
fused. The fingers and thumbs of his hands he moved
quickly together, and although when the hat was
brought into his presence he betrayed little change in
his countenance, all his former levi), disappeared. When
asked to what country he beloneee he replied, to Tips
perary, and added that he was Ater. The prisoner has
a country look, and speaks thickly,
No part of this horrible traged' is more remarkable
than the so far concluding seine. That plunder
was one of the objects of the murderer, no
doubt now remains, but that a man
(if he be
the person) guilty of so enormius a crime, should
hover about, as it were, that place where detec-
tion was inevitable, and that he would himself agree
to walk to Bridewell, to clear himsef froth the suspicion
of stealing the watch, are some of those inexplicable
circumstances connected with the dreegfal crime of mur-
der which can be accounted for by no human being;
but it proves that—
" Murder, though it bath no tongise,
Will speak with most miraculouiergan."
LrvEqoOL, FRIDAY.
The prisoner John Gleeson Wilsontas this morning
taken to the Southern Hospital, when
Henrickson's
servant girl immediately identified hill;
as the man who
had attacked her and murdered the children. He was
then re examined before Mr. Yr/0M0p; and remanded
to Saturday (this day). He lieari the
appearance of a
seaman.

CITY COURT FOR 711 it _RECOVERY OF
SMALL DEBTS--March 28.
TAYLOR V. DENIS MOYLAN, ESQ.-SUING THE JUDGE OF A

COUNTY conwr.
Mr. R. Taylor, of the firm otTaylor and Co., printers,
applied to Mr. Bullock, the judge of the court, for an
order against Denis Moyla4 Esq., the Judge of the
Westminster County Court Or the Recovery of Small
Debts, for the payment of certain fees incurred in a case
in which the applicant was.pisifitiff'and Mr. Moylan was
defendant.
On the clay before that appointed for the hearing of
the case the amount of ie debt contracted by Mr.
Moylan, and part of the expenses incurred, had been
paid, but there were other expenses which sprang from
the course adopted by the iefendant, and which it ap-
peared by all the rules of connion justice the defendant
was bound to discharge.
Mr. Taylor's claim upon Air. Moylan was for printing
executed eight years ago. Re had repeatedly applied
for the amount without effect, and the defendant had at
length given notice that he would plead the statute of
limitations in answer to the demand; that subsequently
a bearing of the case had been appointed to take place
in that court, and that the night before the amount of
the demand was paid into courtii notwithstanding the
special plea alluded to.
Mr. Taylor said that Mr. Moylat bad offers& to pay
the debt, exclusive of the expense; upon finding that
the claim was*not likely to be relinquished, but the
proposition was rejected, for expense and trouble
had been incurred. It had bee% necessary to sub-
peena witnesses to prove the handwriting of Mr. Moylan,
and to exhibit the post mark of a letter, the date of
which proved that the debt was not affected by the statute
of limitations, as it proved the elistence of the debt
within eight years. He had been obliged to employ an
attorney to meet a gentleman who rust be presumed to
be well acquainted with the practice of the court, inas-
much as ho was a judge in a similar tribunal. He had
also been obliged to go to the expense of sending notices
round to his witnesses not to attend on the 23d inst.; as
the money had been paid into wart, and their attend-
ance was thus rendered unnecessary. These 'expenses
Mr. Moylan was certainly bound, but bad refused, to
pay; and it was hoped that an order would be issued to
compel the payment.
Mr. Taylor's attorney subnitted that there was
nothing in the Act of Parliament to prevent the judge
from exercising a discretion in the case, if it happened
that any omission of form intervened.
Mr. Jupp observed that the application for the addi-
tional costs sought by Mr. Taylor ought to have been
made before, and referred to the dates in his books.
Mr. BULLOCK said the only question appeared to be,
whether the plaintiff had made his application in time?
Mr. Taylor's attorney said he hoped that if his Honour
had any objection to make un order fur the payment of
the costs, he would grant a rule to show cause why the
deft ndant refused to pay the extra costs into Court.
Mr. BULLOCK—Of the validity of the claim there is
no doubt. The point is whether you are in time. You
may take a rule to show causa
