APPREHENSION OF THE SUPPOSED

MURDERERS.

Yesterday morning a man named George Mul-
lins, a plasterer, Barnsley-street, Bethnal-green,
who had been occasionally employed by the de-
ceased Mary Emsley, proceeded to the chief office
of the Metropolitan Police, Great Scotland-yard,
and gave information that he had a clue to the
murderer of the deceased lady, and he had good
grounds for believing that a man named William
Thomas Emms was the murderer.

Inspector Thornton, of the detective force, with
Sergeants Thomas and Tanner, at once engaged a
cab, and taking the informer with them, they pro-
ceeded to the residence of the man Emms, who
lived in a cottage situated at Emsley's brickfield,
Globe-street, Bethnal-green. It was about twelve
o'clock when they reached the place, and found
Emms at home with his wife and children. The
officers interrogated the man Emms, and othPr mem-
bers of the family, and commenced searching the
house and the back of the premises, to ascertain
they could find anything to implicate the accused!
After some time the officers went into a shed on the"
north side of the dwelling, and one of the constables
removed a slab of stone which had been placed
against the wall inside, and there they discovered
the missing cheque for £lO which the deceased had
received on the morning of the 13th ultimo from
Messrs. Pickering and Carryer, the manufacturing
chemists, Lamb's-fields, Bethnal-green. There
were also four silver spoons, a powerful magnifying
glass, a piece of red tape, several documents, a
newspaper, and a bunch of keys containing twenty-
four in number, which it was believed belonged to
the deceased.

The officers accordingly took charge of Emms,
and then apprehended the informant Mullins, who
had been standing aside for some time, and a cab
having been procured by Sergeant Tanner, the two
prisoners were conveyed to the Stepney police-
station, at Arbour-square, where they were charged
with being concerned in the murder of Mary Ems-
ley, of No. 9, Grove-road, Mile-end, Stepney.
The two prisoners were much affected, and the
man Mullins was evidently labouring under great
excitement. After the charge was duly taken by
Inspector Griffin, the prisoners were placed in
separate cells with a constable.
Information of the apprehension soon became cir-
culated, and in the course of an hour the vicinity of
Barnsley-street was crowded by anxious inquirers.
The police subsequently took charge of Mullins's
room at the house in Barnsley-street, and secured
the door, so that a complete inspection of the place
might be made this day, and several officers have
since been marring further examination of the pre-
mises where Emms had resided, as it is supposed
the things found in Emms's shed might have been
" planted" there to implicate him, and secure the
reward.

Mullins was formerly a constable in the K divi-
sion of police, and was superannuated for some
time, and subsequently he obtained a situation on
the Brighton Railway, where he was detected (as
a detective) in the serious robbery, of which he was
convicted, and sentenced to four years' penal servi-
tude, and his daughter was sentenced to six months'
imprisonment for being concerned in the same
felony.
It seems that Mullins has been living alone in
Barnsley-street, and his wife has not been seen at
the house for some weeks past. He has also been
seen by the children of the man Emms loitering
about the brick-field, and sleeping on two occasions
upon the grass near a pile of bricks.
The prisoners will be brought before the magis-
trates this morning, but they will, no doubt, be re-
manded for the completion of the evidence neces-
sary in such an important case.
