It appears that after the robbery, the prisoner had absconded from the neighbourhood, and was quietly resting at Brampton, but this coming to the ears of Thomas HODGSON, superintendent of Police, Wigton, he with his usual activity, started immediately for Brampton, and greatly to the surprise of the prisoner (who imagined himself quite safe) apprehended him.     ******
