THIS wonderful Ointment acts like magic in relieving and curing old sores, wounds, bad legs, ulcers, and eruptions cf the skin; when rubbed on the surface it penetrates and purifies each tissue on its passage, and exerts the most wholesome influence over the internal structures. It heals by cleansing all animal fluids with which it comes in contact, and thereby promotes a sound and permanent cure. Gout and Rheumatism, To sufferers from the racking pains of Rheumatism and Gout this Ointment will prove invaluable. After "fomentation with warm watej the soothing action of this Ointment is most remarkable; it seems at onee to lessen inflammation, ease pain, reduce the swelling, restore natural circulation, and expels the disease. For the above complaints Holloway's Ointment and Pills are in- valuable specifics. Diptheria, Bronthitis, Sore Throats, Coughs, and Colds. This class of diseases may be cured by well rubbing the Ointment, three times a day, upon the throat, ches-t, and back of the patient. It will soon penetrate and give immediate relief. In all stages of Influenza, Colds, and Bronchitis, this treatment may be followed with effi- ciency and safety-indeed it has npver been known to fail. All Varieties of Skin Diseases, Scrof ula, and Scurvy. This Ointment is a certain cure for Ringworm, Scurvy Scrofula, or King's Evil, and the most inveterate skin diseases to which the human race is subject. They can- not be treated with a safer or more speedy remedy than Holloway's Ointment, assisted by his celebrated Pills, which act so powerfully on the constitution and so purify the blood that these disorders are completely eradicated from the system, and lasting cure obtained. Piles, Fistulas, and Internal Inflammation. These complaints are most distressing to both body and mind, false delicacy concealing them trom the knowledge of the most intimate friends. Persons suffer for years from Piles and similar complaints when they might use Holloway's Ointment with instant relief, and effcct then- own cure without the annoyance of explaining their ail- ments to anyone. The Pills greatly assist the Ointment as they purify the blood, regulate its circulation, rene > deceased structures, and invigorate the entire system. Both the Ointmentand Pills should be used in thefollowing cases Bad Legs Chiego-foot Fistulas Sore-throatt Bad Breasts Chilblains Gout Skin-disease Burns Chapped-hands GlandularSwel '-igs!lscur-y Bunions Corns (Soft) Lumbago j Sore-heads BiteofMos- Cancers Piles I Tumours chetoes & Contracted and Rheumatism Ulcers Sand-Flies Stiff-joints Scald liesids Wounds Coco-Bay Elephantiasis Sore Nipples Yaws Sold at the Establishment of Professor Hollowly, 244, Strand, .near Temple Bar) London, and also by all respectable druggist.- and dealers in medicines throughout the civilized world, at the o'lowing prices:—ls.l^d, 2s.3d., 4s.6d, lis, 22s, & 33s, iach p01 • Thereis a considerablesaring bytakingthelarpersi7.es.

CARDIGANSHIRE ASSIZES. The Commission was opened on Tuesday the 8th inst, by Mr.Baron Channel, who afterwards, ac- companied by Mr Loxdale the high sheriff, at- tended Divine Service at St. Mary's Church, where a very impressive sermon was preached by the Venerable Archdeacon Jones, of York. On Wednesday morning business was com- menced at ten o'clock. The following gentlemen formed the Grand Jury—viz.; Lieut. Col. Lewis (foreman), Mr G. W. Parry, Sir T. D. Lloyd, Bart.; Messrs. Boult- bee, J. B. Harford, G. B. Jordan. John Vaughan, W. Price Lewis, J. R. Howell, J. Pugh Pryse, John Griffith, A. T. Davies, C. R. Longcroft, Herbert Vaughan, J. E. Rogers, and J. P. A. Ll. Philipps. The usual proclamation against vice and im- morality having been read, the Judfje proceeded to charge the Grand Jury. He said it was a great satisfaction to him to have the honour of meeting the magistrates of the county after an ab. sence of five years, and the more so because he was able to congratulate the county upon the full attendance of the magistrates, and the number of gentlemen anxious to discharge their duties was more numerous than it bad been his fortune to meet here on the former occasions. The calen- dar, be regretted to say, was of a more serious nature than it had been his fortune to observe; but he thought that it was not of such a character as to give any alarm for the increase of crime, and that the cases were such as would not require any lengthy remarks from him. He then went fully into the several cases which would come on, and said that it was a remarkable feature that the use of the knife in scuffles and quarrels had become much more general of late than it formerly used to be, and it would require the strong arm of the law to put it down. When he was a boy there never was such a thing as a knife resorted to in quarrels, and he hoped that an end would soon be put to the dangerous practice. In con- cluding, be earnestly recommended the magis- trates to encourage all institutions calculated to improve the moral and social condition of the in- dustrial classes, and to give especial aid to all movements in furtherance of religion. Richard Hughes was charged with having feloniously stabbed and wounded David Evans, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm, in lhe parish of BlaenpenaJ, on the 7th day of May last. Mr de Rutzen appeared for the prosecution, ind Mr Bowen appeared for the defence. From the evidence, it appeared that the prisoner and the prosecutor's father bad recently bad some lawsuits, in which the prisoner bad the best. Both were small farmers, and it appears that prisoner and prosecutor were at Tregaron on the 7th of May, and that, as prosecutor was return- ing home in company with others, he was over- taken and passed by prisoner. On coming up again with him, some words took place. Prose- cutor then went borne, and in the evening had occasion to go to a neighbouring shop, and also to the house of a needlewoman. That while there be again saw the prisoner, who came back to bim, and they had a scuffle, both falling down. rhat while they were thus down the prisoner :alled upon his son, a young boy, to the rescue ind that while the three were wrestling prosecutor felt his hand cut by some sharp instrument. rhey then separated, and in the course of four 3ays he went to a surgeon to show his hand, and to have it dressed. Such was the story for the prosecution. For the prisoner, evidence was produced to show that the prisoner was waylaid, and attacked by the prosecutor and some two others, and it was contended that if a knife was used it was done for the purpose of frightening bis cowardly assailants, and not with any felonious intent, and that the wound was such as would occur by the merest accident. The witnesses were examined at great length, occupying the time of the court for nearly five hours and the judge having summed up very minutely, the jury re- tired, and shortly afterwards returned with a ver- dict of not guilty. Evans Evans, aged 28, described as a labourer, was charged with having wounded Thomas Evans, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm, at the parish of Gwnws, on the 13th day of \pril last. Mr Bowen prosecuted the prisoner was not defended. The prosecutor, who is a navvy, working on the Manchester and Milford Railway, raear Ystradmeirig, lodged at a small public-house n t5 called Rhydgaled. On the night of the 13th of April last all the family except the daughter had retired to rest. About eleven o'clock a person knocked at the door, and on being asked what be flesired, said that he wanted some beer, which at first was refused to him but on his threatening to break open the door, he was allowed to enter, ind had some beer. He then grew abusive, and the landlady called upon her son and the prose- cutor to get up, upon which he went out. Thomas Evans went out to see who it was, and was stabbed in the side, above the hip, with a knife, which was produced. He fell insensible, md was carried to the house and put in bed, and medical attendance was sought. The pri- soner, on being apprehended, said he knew nothing ibout it; and it appeared from the evidence that be was excited, and worse for drink. After the udcre had summed up, the jury returned a verdict )f guilty of unlawfully wounding against the pri- soner, who was therefore sentenced to three nonths' imprisonment with hard labour. John Evans, aged 24, described as a miller, a -espectabiy dressed young man, was charged vith having burglariously broken into and en- ered the dwelling-house of Abraham Lloyd Lewis, and with having stolen a fore ham, knile, screws, hinges, and other goods, of the value of £ 5, the property of the said Llovd Lewis, at iortn, on the night of the 13th of April, 1867. 3n being asked whether he was guilty or not, he laid that be could not say, but that he thought he stolen articles could not have been brought o his house unless he had taken them. and his ordship entered a plea of not guilty. Mr Hughes appeared for the prosecution the pri- Z, soner was not defended. Evidence was called, ivhich clearly proved the guilt of the prisoner, ind he was found guilty of housebreaking, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment with lard labour.

TRIAL FOR CHILD MURDER. On Thursday the Judge attended court at half- past eight. Z5 The only case remaining for trial was that of Mary Ann Rees, who was charged with having murdered a certain female child, to which she had given birth at Aberystwith, on the 25th day of May last. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Z, Mr Allen and Mr J. M. Davies, instructed by Mr F. R. Roberts, of Aberystwith, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Hughes, at the request of his lordship, appeared for the prisoner. From Mr Allen's opening speech, it appeared that the prisoner was a native of Merthyr. and that she had only been in service at Aberystwith for about seven weeks before the unfortunate event took place. Ellen Williams, examined by Mr Davies: I am a servant living with Mr Poole, at Aberystwith. I know the prisoner. She was my fellow-servant. I remember the morning of the 25th of May last. It was Saturday. She slept with me on Friday night. We both went together to bed on Friday bight. Mary Ann Rees was standing by the dressing table when I awoke. I did 11 not awake during the night at all. When prisoner was standing by the dressing table she had only her black petticoat, her hoots, & her stockings on. She was wiping the floor. There was some blood on the floor. I got up at that time. I then ob- served the spots of blood. There were some large and some small. There was one bigger than a man's band. I asked her what was L, the matter, and she told me that she was unwell. She placed the flannel with which she wiped the floor in a wash stand basin. There was a bucket in the room. It was covered with a black apron, which belonged to Mary Ann Rees. The bucket was taken by the prisoner down to the garden. The apron was on the bucket when she went down stairs. The bucket was in the room the night before. I used to take it up sometimes. I took it up to empty some slops which were in the bedroom. It was not covered up when I saw it on Friday night. I followed prisoner down- stairs. She went out through the back door to the bottom of the garden. I saw prisoner again in about a quarter of an hour. She was then coming up the garden towards the house. She had the bucket with her then. The apron was not on it when she came back. She then went to the kitchen. She was sitting down on a chair. I told her she was not well, and she said she was not. Mistress came down to the kitchen, and she told her to go to bed. Thomas Garner, examined by Mr Allen I was a fellow-servant with the last witness and prisoner in Mr Poole's employ in May last. On the even- ing of the 25th I got up at six o'clock. I had occasion to go to the privy fiat morning. The door was partly open. I did not try the door, but went away. Some time after I went there again. In the interval I saw prisoner. I had not seen her before I went there the first time. She was coming from the direction'of the privy. She had a bucket in her hand. I did notice whether she had any thing in it or not. In consequence of something I heard, I went there the third time, but the privy was just as usual, and I could observe nothing. A. pigstye adjoins the privy, which I then examined. I pulled up two boards of the pigstye floor, and found the body of a child laid on its left side, ft could be put in that position from the privy. The soil is about three or four feet below the level of the seat of the privy. I then took up the body through the aperture. I washed it and called master, and afterwards the policeman came. By the Judge The privy door was partly open, There is only a small bit cut from the door to serve as a window. If the door was shut there would be sufficient light in the privy for a person to see what he was about. Henry Poole, examined by Mr J. M. Davies I am a confectioner at Aberystwyth. The prisoner has been in my service. On Saturday, the 25th of May, she was in my house. She had been with me about seven weeks. After she had been with me some time I suspected she was pregnant. I believe my wife spoke to her about it. David Thomas, P.C., examined by Mr Alien Garner handed me the body of the child about twenty minutes after ten. I handed it over to Mr Roberts, the surgeon, and he made an examination. The child was buried after the examination by the medical gentleman. On the tollowing morning a. further examination was made, and then it was re- buried on Monday. Cross-examined: I don't know at whose request the body was taken up on Monday. Mr Jacob Roberts, examined by Mr Allen I am a surgeon in practice at Aberystwyth. 1 have been t, in practice for twenty-six years, and am a M.R.C.S. On Saturday, the 25th of May last, the body of a female child was handed over to me by the last witness. It was between two and three o'clock when I made the first examination. The child looked as if it had been recently born. I then made an examination of the body in company with Mr Jones. It was a full grown child, and healthily formed. In examining t, the body I discovered marks on the back and front of the neck. The external skin was injured as if by a rope. The mark extended about tv/o inches. The circle was Dot complete. By the Judge There were no marks on the sides of the neck. On each side there were about three inches without mark at all. By Mr Allen I am of opinion that the child had been born alive. By the Judge By being born alive, I mean that the child had breathed freely. I found, from the colour of the lips, and the swollen tongue, and the marks round the neck, that the child had been killed by strangulation. By the Judge I can't swear that the marks oil the "neck were not caused by the umbilical cord. The appearance of the tongue and lips might have ensued from a difficult or prolonged delivery. Mr Morris Jones, a surgeon at Aberystwyth, was next examined, and corroborated the evidence of Dr Roberts in most respects. z, After Mr Hughes had addressed the jury on be. half of the prisoner, his Lordship summed up at great length, and the jury, having retired for a few minutes, returned to the court with a verdict of Not guilty of murder, but guilty of concealment of birth; and the prisoner was sentenced to four months' imprisonment, with hard labour.
