chief officer; in company with Ballard, to make the item:-
sary investigation, and act npon any ciremnstaeces that
alight arise out of their inquiries. These two active officers
accordingly proceeded at an early hoar, on Friday morn-
ing last, to the house, No. 4, Cumberland-street, relteeti,i
which they had the information; and having gaine I
'pittance. questioned the landlady as to the ilescriptise nt .
persons who occupied her 'apartments as lodgers, Tie •
woman in the moat unreserved 'manner, immediately on.
learning who the offwers were, expreved, her willingness to
disclose all she knew, and her conviction that she had the
misfortune to let,ber first floor to a murderer ; and.without
any disguise related to the officers the following par-
, oculars
:
She stated, that on Monday, the 21st of October. two
men, one of theta a tall nun, wearing a white hat, and the
other much shake, dressed in shabby black clothes, came
to her house, and agreed to hire apartments on her first
floor by the. week. The agreement was made, by the man
with the white hat, who said 'he should occasionally slec,
there, and bad a good deal of valuable lurnitare, which he
should move in. , . .
After agreeing upon terms, the man with the white hat
gave his name as Mr. Brown, and referred fur his chara.ner
and respectability to a Mrs. Hunt, residing at No. :19, in
the same street, where she accordingly made inquiry show.:
him, and received from Mrs. Hunt it moat favourable
character of Mr. Brown. The next day a cart was driven
to the door, accompanied by the saute two men, containine.-
a quantity of furniture, iocluding several feather beds, the
whale of which was deposited in the apartments; and the
landlady received strict injunction to be very earthl of
the property, particularly the feather beds, %hick Brown,
(whom she no,/ believes to have. been John Thurteli)
requested sliewouldylace under some of her own bras for
the. purpose of keeping them sired, and which she accord-
ingly
did. From that time, until the Tuesday after the
murder of Mr. Weare, she saw mailing of either of the tw.,
men, but on that morning, the shalitiy-looking man i•I
black, (whom she now has no do doubt wn, Joseph Hnnt\
called about lit o'clock, and inquired if Mr. Brown was at
home? She replied that he was not; he then inquired in a
very earliest manner if a black hat lied come there for %Ir.
Brown ? To this she also replied in ttie negative, at which
hemmed einseis disappo4teda_ He then west away, but
had net been gone above a minute when Int warned:
companied by Brown (Thurtell), who sire has no doubt •
now was waiting for, him at the time, and merely sent hint
to reconnoitre the premises.
Brown (or Thurtell) still had the white bat on,, and he
also inquired very anxiously about a black hat; which be
said he expected to he sent there for him. They both
stopped in the apartments only a few minutes, and took •
their departure, after locking the rooms, and Brown saying •
he should be back in a day or two ; bat she has never since
that day seen any thing more of them. • :
Planet, on hearing this explicit statement from then
woman, had uo doubt whatever that Thurtell and Hunt
were the parties who had hired the apartments, and al-
though he • was unprovided with any warrants for that
purpose, be did not hesitate to take upon himself in such
a case all the responsibility of the course he thought it'
necessary to pursue; and without father delay instantly
burst open the doors of the apartments, *hen the first
thing that presented itself to hint was a dressing case, in •
which was contained a set of razors with the name uf
" John Thurtell, Cosk, Haymarket," engraved at null '
length on them. Plank next proceeded to force open a
large chest which stood in the room, and here he found.
variety of property; among which were several towels • '
marked T. 5. T.—supposed to mean " Tomas and Sarah
Modell."

The officers having accomplished the object they bid 'kW •
view, of identifying the suspected parties with the lodg-
ings, again seccred and sealed the doors of the roomy;'..'
until comniunication of the circumstances sboaki be made
to the magistrates at Watford. The officers before thdv.
left the neighbourhood. ascertained that Mrs. Haut, resid-
ing at No. '29. who gave so good a character of Mr. Brown,•
is the mother of Joseph Hunt. •
