The same goes for Lamb when he was alerted to the murder. The way his testimony reads, certainly doesn't suggest that one (Kozebrodski) surfaced from Batty Street - which would only have been some 30 yards away from where Lamb was at the moment - while the other had come running from further away, the direction of Berner Street. It reads as if the two men came running to him together and from further away than Batty Street. Also, Kozebrodski stated that he "went into the Commercial-road along with Eagle", which supports the notion that Kozebrodski had joined Eagle before the latter had reached Commercial Road and that they came running towards Lamb together (and that Kozebrodski hadn't just joined Eagle right under Lamb's nose).
Everything's possible of course, but the evidence sure doesn't read as if Kozebrodski was joining Eagle in Commercial Road from Batty Street, only some 30 yards away from Lamb.
The best,

PS Kozebrodski is stated to have said "I afterwards went into Commercial-road along with Eagle", which would support the idea that he first finished his search "in the direction of Grove Street", then returned to where he started from - Berner Street - and then joined Eagle somewhere before the latter reached Commercial Road.
