A full report of the trial of Rush will appear in
the Observer of Sunday, April 1, and of Monday, April
2. The extensive publication of the Observer commences
at five o'clock, Sunday morning ; the Monday's edition
(best for the country and abroad) at four, Monday after-
noon. A sixpence, or six pos'ago stamps, enclosed to
Mr. Clement, junior, 170, Strand, will insure a copy of
the Observer by return of post. The Observer regularly
reports the parochial matters of Marylebone, Pancras,
and Paddington.
THE WEATIIER.—D r. Forster's communication to
the London Astronomical Society, to the effect that a
Saturday's moon is always followed by twenty days of
wet or windy weather, has not, so far, been justified. The
weather from Saturday to Tuesday was fine, although
cold, for the season, with foggy mornings and evenings.
On Wednesday, there was a change for the worse, and
yesterday W 23 as cold, foggy, wet, and dismal a day as
November itself could produce for the life of it. We
have, as yet, bra /to wind.—Liverpoel Morcury of Friday.

LIVERPOOL MURDER.

APPREHENSION of the SUPPOSe.D MURDERER.
(From the Liverpool Mercury of yesterday.)

Yesterday ea ening, -a little ufter 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 diy at the shop
of Mr. Samuel, ofreing 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 man 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. Ile had a pair of new
blue trousers on, new stockings, and a new silk hand-
kerchief in his peat t. His hair is cut off straight be-
hind, giving it the appearance of being short. The
prisoner answers exactly the d2scription 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 ho 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 fourteen men, and another man, who had
seen hint on Wednesday, was asked to pick him out if
he were present. After examining the men, he said
the man with the cap (the prisoner) was the. leer-
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 he speaks, that'
would render his identification a matter of greater cer-'
tainty by one who had conversed with him.
The prisoner, when asked his name, said it was John
Gleeson Wilson, and that he was au 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 mina; I paid foi 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 attemptin; to prejudge the case, we may state there
can be no doubt he is the man for whom 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 for lodgings,
.and the same afternoon he offered the gold watch for
sale at Tranmere. The mother of Mrs. Henrickson,
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 purse also
found upon the prisoner has been identifid by the char-
woman who was in the habit of washing at the house as
the property of Mrs. Henrickson. The prisoner stated
he bought the purse at Bristol, and also one of the shirts,
of which he had three on his back, one of them having
lately undergone partial washing about the sleeves. 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, cap,
and neckerchief were new. On Wednesday even-
ing he lodged in a house in Porter-street, in this town
where he had given a shirt stained with blood to be
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 poud at Windsor by Mr. Caine, they were found to
correspond.l When n-ked where he got the trousers,
the prisoner " That is for you to find out." The
boy fronin-hje‘m he to.,k the pr,lat,e4.,4* the doer,. nowspeaks p4siiwly to the prisoner, and in teeing the differ-
ence in thc,..ountenance which is made by substituting
the hat for the cap, there is no wonder that a mistake at
first in the identity should be the consequence. 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 persons in the neighbourhood
of the police-office. Mr. Dowling, at the time the news
reached him, was at the Collegiate Instituticn hearing
Jenny Lind, and when the intelligence was conveyed to
hirn, it soon was whispered about that an important com-
munication had reached the head constable, and consi-
derable sensation was evinced in the bull.

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 levity disappeared. When
asked to what country he belonged, he replied, to Tip-
perary, and added that he was a fitter. The prisoner has
a country look, and speaks thickly.
No part of this horrible tragedy is more remarkable
than the so far concluding scene. 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 enormous a crime, should
hover about, as it wt re, that place where detec-
tion was inevitable, and that he should himself agree
to walk to Bridevvell, to clear himself from the suspicion
of stealing the watch, are some of those inexplicable
circumstances connected with the dreadful crime of mur-
der which can be accounted for by no human being;
but it proves that—

1‘ Murder, though it hath not ongue,
IVill speak with most miraculous organ."
LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY:
The prisoner John Gleeson Wilson was this morning
taken to the Southern Hospital, when Mr. Henrickson's
servant girl immediately identified him as the man who
had attacked her and murdered the children. He was
then reexamined before Mr. Tushton, and remanded
to Saturday (this day). He bears the appearance of a
seaman.

CITY COURT FOR THE RECOVERY OF
SMALL DEBTS.—March 28.

TAYLOR V. DENIS MOYLAN, ESQ.-SUING THE JUDGE OF A

COUNT? COURT.

Mr. B. Taylor, of the 'firm of Taylor and Co., pt inters,
applied to Mr. Bullock, the judge of the court, for an
order against Denis Moylan, Esq., the Judge of the
Westminster County Court for the Recovery of Small
Debts, for the payment of certain fees incurred in a case
in which the applicant was plaintiff and Mr. Moylan was
defendant.

On the day before that appointed for the hearing of
the case the amount of the 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 defendant, and which it ap-
peared by all the rules of common justice the defendant
wes bound to discharge.
Mr. Taylor's claim upon Mr. Moylan was for printing
executed eight years ago. He 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 hearing of the case had been appointed to take place
in that court, and that the night before the amount e
the demand was paid into court, notwithstanding the
special plea alluded to.
Mr. Taylor said that Met Moylan had offered to pay
the debt, exclusive of the expenses, upon finding that
the claim was not likely to be relinquished, but the
proposition was rejected, for expense and trouble
had been incurred. It bad been necessary to sub-
peens 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 existence of the debt
within eight years. He had been obliged to employ an
attorney to meet a gentleman who must be presumed to
be well acquainted with the practice of the court, inas-
much as he was a judge in a similar tribunal. lie 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 court, and their attend-
ance was thus rendered unnecessary. Those 'expenses
Mr. Moylan was certainly bound, but had refused, to
pay; andit was hoped that an order would be issued to
compel tho payment.
Mr. Taylor's attorney submitted that there was
nothing in the Act of Parliament to prevent the judge
fi om exercising a discretion in the case, if it happened
that any omission of form intervened.
Mr. Jupp observed that the application for the addi-
I tional costs sought by Mr. Taylor ought to have been
made befero, and referred to the dates in his books.

Mr. BULLOCK said the only question appeared to be,
whether the plaintiff hid made his application in time?
Mr. Taylor's attorney said he hop( d 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
defendant refused to pay the extra costs into Court.
Mr. BtiLocx—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 cause.

At the annual general meeting of the Royal Astro-
nomical Society, Sir John F. W. Herschel! presented to
that body a finely-executed marble bust of their late
President, Francis Bally, D.C.L. (the gift of Miss Baily,
his only surviving sister), with an appropriate address,
which appeared in the society's transactiQns for Febru-
ary, 1849.
