CAPTURE OF THE M URDERER.
Considerable sensation was created last evening in the
neigbourhood of Great Queen-street, Holborn, by the
announcement that the murderer of the unfortunate
woman, Mary Brothers, had been captured in a court
leading off the above street. We made inquiry on the
subject, and found that the information we had received
was correct. It appears that Superintendant Pearce,
having received some communications on the subjects
paid a visit to the lodgings of the party charged with
this diabolical murder, and was fortunate enough to sr
prahend the individual in question. His name is under
stood to be William Cannon, his age is about 19, he is a
smith, working with his father in the Haymarket•
Superintendant Pearce, on taking the prisoner(
into custody, informed him of the nature °
the charge against him. It is not stated
in what way the prisoner met the imrutation•
He was immediately conveyed to the Bow-street station'
house, and messengers were at once sent off to Mr. Old'
ham, the cutler, of High-street, St. Giles, and to the
woman Palmer, the servant to the brothel, who attended
very soon afterwards. Both of them, without hesita-
tion, identified the prisoner; the former as knowing hi°,
to be the purchaser of the knife found in the wound la
the unfortunate woman's neck, and the latter as b' jog
the person who accompanied the deceased and engaged
the room where the murder was committed. We are
not aware that the prisoner was in any way influenced
by the recognition by these parties, but, as stated by
Mr. Oldham at the invest, the prisoner is a young tvell
not more than twenty years of age, very sallow in coo'
plexion, and nothing very remarkable in his appear
ance. These are all the accredited facts that have trans'
pired to this time respecting the prisoner. The matte!,
of course, will be thoroughly investigated when be Will
appear before the magistrate at Bow-street to-morroo'
(this day).
