ABERDOVEY. A RESCUE.—An accident that might have been attended with most serious consequences happened on Tuesday, the 24th July, to a boat and eight men belonging to the barque "Glenalvon." Whilst engaged in the middle of the stream getting up an anchor the boat was swamped and went down underneath the men. The strugglesof the im- mersed men were fortunately witnessed by those ashore able to render assistance. Two of the pilots (Nicholasand Morris) with commendable alacrity hastened to the rescue and succeeded in picking up the eight men. THE PCBLIC CitIF.R,-Tliis place stands alone in its glory," as regards the originality of its public criers, who have a rendering of their own of the "Bells of Aber- dovey." The burden of a "crv" delivered the other day, arising from depredations amongst a gentleman's fruit trees was a homily on the eighth commandment, which was followed by an ihtimation that the penalty to which the depredators were liable was to be shot, in the fir t instance, and afterwards to be treated with the "utmost rigour ot the law." A DREAJJED VISITOR.—The Colorado, or potato beetle, having made its appearance in Germany, the Board of Trade has issued instructions to those having the super- vision of shipping at this place to take every precaution in preventing the introduction of the destructive insect into Great Britain.

MACHYNLLETH COUNTY C'OL RT, THURSDAY, JULY 19.—Before Mr. Serjeant H. Tindal Atkinson. H mere were auout sixty cases ana 10 judgment sum- monses entered for hearing at this court, two only of which came before the Judge, the rest being disposed of by the Registrar. Jones v. Jones.—This was an fiction brought by John Jones, of Tynewydd, Aberdovey, farmer, to recover the sum of £9 14s. from William Jones, of Tyddynyberth, Aberdovey, farmer, being balance due to him for wheat sold, and upon a contract entered into between him and the Iefendant. Mr. R. Williams, Newtown, appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Griffith Jones, of Aberystwyth, for defendant.—Plaintiff said I was tenant of Tyddyny- berth. Defendant was to be tenant on expiration of my holding. In the beginning of December we agreed that he should be at liberty to enter upon the farm then to sow wheat, fence, &c., and that he was to have possession of the house in March instead of 12th of May, he paying me JS15 10s. for those privileges. He paid R10 on account. I also sold him two sacks of wheat for i'4 4s.—Mr. Grif- fith Jones here pointed out that the case came within the 4th section of the Statute of Frauds. But his Honour held that there having been part performance by the pay- ment of money the statute did not apply, and that he was empowered, under the 89th section of the Judicature Act, to apply an equitable remedy to the case, although it was an action on a common law plaint. If Mr. Jones thought otherwise, he should be very happy to grant him a special case.—Judgment for plaintiff for full amount claimed, and costs. Jones v. Lewis-—This was an action brought by Richard Jones, gamekeeper, Towyn, against David Lewis, smith, Bryncrug, to recover J61 for a quantity of hay.— Mr. Griffith Jones appeared for the defendant, who ad- mitted having had the hay, but swore that he had paid the plaintitf the amount now claimed.—The plaintiff, on the other hand, swore that he had not received the £ 1.— His Honour remarked that he was always much pained to hear two witnesses swear contrary to each other, and that it v\ as his practice in such a case to let a jury decid, and to commit the one found wrong by the jury for per- jury, and he would adjourn this case, so that it might be tried by a jury at the next Court. PAROCHIAL COMMITTEE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 25.— Present Mr. Edward Morgan, in the chair, Messrs. David Jones, William Jones, Rowland Wood, William Pierce, and Richard Lloyd. Supply of Wate)-Tlle question of supplying the Town and Liberties of Machynlleth with water was considered, and it was decided to have an analysis taken of the samples of water from Cwm Rhaiadr and the Forge and that the Inspector, Mr. Edward Morgan, and Mr. Edward Rees get the samples for that purpose. The meeting was adjourned to the Hth August, when the question will be further considered, on receipt of the re- port of the analysts. 1 he Inspector's report was read and considered. A drain was ordered to be made at Doll, as recommended by the Inspector estimated cost, £ 8 3s. (id. Summonses were ordered against parties not complying with notices given by the Surveyor to erect privies.

UP AND DOWN THE COAST. -v_v.- -V TRF'JARO.V MARKET HALL. This hall is dated 1S74, but it is not ifnished vet. Tre- garon is a place chat has been drained, and that might easily be supplied with excellent water, There is no place in the district in a fairer way of becoming a thriving market town than Tregaron, but the inhabitants ought to do all thev can to keep up the markets, and to develop the trade of the place. I should be delighted to hear that the Market Hall is really finished, and I shall be more delighted still to hear that it is used by farmers aiit, dealers. OBSER Vi TIONS. Put a man into a place too large for him, and he will rattle in it like a dried kernel in a nutshell. The pleasant sounds a river makes are mainly due to the rugged bed over which it flows. The shallower the river, the more varied the music. Lives are like rivers they owe their sweetness to the roughness of their course. Drop a pebble into a brook, and it begins to murmur m another key. Often it happens that a life does not become vocal until a sorrow or two has been dropped into it, and if the life be deep and strong, the sorrow must be great, or the life will sweep over it as silently as the deep river flows over little stones. A boulder is required to fetch music from the deep river. The placid bosom of a lake may hide many a wild contortion of nature. The beauty of the valley is best seen by him who walks the barren crest of the hill, and not by him ho wanders by the river at its base. Gorgeous sunset clouds are- otily,'grey, mist when the light falles. The basest wrong is that done by a man who trusts to the honour and truth of his victim for immunity from retribution. When a man finds his enemies credited with his good works, and is able to remain silent, and also to go on working, he is beginning to learn what is meant by not letting his left hand know what his^ right hand doeth. A sick man's world is not much bigger than his bedroom. An idler is not wholly lost until he feels contempt for men who work. It is a hard thought that the punishments oulast tne consequences of evil. Ability often lacks opportunity; genius makes it; genius is- ability at white heat. The geniuses of the world are the few who say and do what the many think and feel.. 5 Men who think the world is teeminir with wickedness forget that it is made up of small families. Many common-place people flatter themselves they are exceptionally wicked. They would dj well to remember that it is as difficult to excel in vice as in virtue. It is a mistake to think that higher mental powers are required to describe a forest than to convert it into chairs and tables. The excellence of the workman is nof in making clothes or furniture or implements, but in making them from specified quantities of raw material within a given time, and up to a certain standard of excellence. To do these things requires mental effort. Men in the humblest walks of life expect to be re- membered by posterity. A moment's thought would teach them that past generations have been forgotten as quickly as they died. Go back the short space of six thousand years, and all the men whose names have been preserved would not people an average village. Men who look at themselves as the centre of the universe have great difficulty in understanding the plan of creation. This is not to be wondered at. One great cause of misery in the world is that men think they will be perfectly happy in a future that never comes to them. He is the only wise and happy man who so live" that he can strike a balance at the close of each day, owing nothing to the world and expecting nothing from it. It Is hot an uncommon thing for men to abuse the world in order to have the pleasure of hearing it defended. Nature with grand impartiality bestows noble presence irrespective of wealth. Rich men have recognized this fact by putting their servants in livery, so that there may lit* no m;t!>l:p t" (Hrnp" of wealth. It is a pleasant thought to a writer that his words are read in thousands of homes by young and old. That those same words may live when he has laid the pen aside is a pleasing hope, however vain. A man who in his eagerness to get rich makes money wrongfully, is terribly punished for his deeds by never being allowed to know, as long as he lives, whether honesty would have led him to success. Indulgence in meanness that the world will never know of may be enough to take off the fine edge from the moral sense. When the ancients represented justice as blind they perhaps meant to convey more than that she careunot which way the balance inclined. When, in old times, Isaac blessed Jacob instead of Esau, justice was blind. Isaac trembled very exceedingly when he found he had blessed the wrong man. Justice never trembles, for she is quite blind. They are wise who can go away from her decisions without an exceeding bitter cry, and without threatening to slay their brethren. SEEN IN THE DIJf FUTURE, A bridge over the railway at Machynlleth station. Letters at a reasonable time at Aberystwyth. A Marine Parade at Pwllheli. A railway to Aberaeron. Something like a post-office at Llanidloes. Honest mining in Cardiganshire. Gas at 3s. 6d. per 1,000 feet at Aberystwyth, and a regular supply of gas at any price at Machynlleth. Sales of furniture by auction in the autumn of this year, at watering places on the coast. 'Drainage and waterworks at Penparke. A tenant for the Aberdovey Hotel. Borough magistrates who will not let a man off lightly for drunkenness. County magistrates who will not punish a man severely for being in possession of a rabbit. Ample proof that the murderer of the woman at Dol- gelley was not a Welshman. Welsh poetry that will bear translation. Fifty thousand pounds from the landed proprietors of Wales towards the endowment fund of the University College of Wales. Winter gardens, swimming baths, a free library, and attractions of different kinds at all the Welsh coast water- ing places. A sea wall at Borth. Tregaron bog drained and divided into farms. Lampeter College with double its present number of students. The dog poisoners near Aberystwyth receiving their de- serts. Myself presenting the University College of Wales with a cheque for a thousand pounds to endow a scholarship to be called the Mira scholarship. Chapels that are not uglv, and preachers that are not dull. Better houses for the poor. AT BORTH. Last winter the sea, made an ugly rush at Borth, and almost took it away. The effects of the rush are still to be seen, and if there should be another next winter the effects will he most disastrous. The people are not able to help themselves, and nobody seems disposed to help them. A Parochial Committee has been formed with fhe sanction of the Rural Sanitary Authority, but as the latter body never did anything, it is not to be expected their deputy will do much. What sum of money has the Rural Sanitary Authority expended since its formation, in ad- dition to salaries? Not much I fear. Would a sovereign cover the lot ? Is it not a fact that the Rural Sanitary Authority's labours have mainly been confined to talk? The houses that ought to have been condemned the villages that ought to have been drained the districts that ought to have been supplied with water—are they not all in the same state now as they were when the Rural Sanitary Authority was formed years ago ? Shame upon you, country gentlemen shame upon you. You know your duty in these matters better than I can tell you, but, becanse of the expenditure, you neglect it. I have waited patiently something like five or six years, until at last my patience is exhausted. How much longer will you trifle with the requirements of Borth ? Nor is Borth the only place that calls aloud for action. A MACHYNLLETH CHAPEL. The time has come when this chapel ought to be finished. The chapel is of a retiring disposition, but that is no reason why it should be as long in the builder's hands as the clock tower. The Coast. PF.RRY W INKLE.

DC)LVT)T)FTPN AND VTHTNTTY. SCARCITY is the biggest item from Bettws. There are other items, but none so big as scarcity. The car drivers complain that people that arrive at Bettws by train are parsimonious enough to go by their stand without in- quiring anything, and foot it to the different neighbour- hoods. When they take a drive they prefer to go by coaches, instead of hiring cars. If people are not willing to hire cars on their arrival at Bettws, the car drivers would advise such people to stay at home. Visitors are very scarce at Bettws. The houses are not half full, and not likely to be so this year. There are many houses with- out a single visitor. CONCERT.—-A concert came off at Elen Chapel, Doly- ddelen, on Wednesday evening, July 18. The chair was occupied by Mr. Daniel Williams, agent to the Prince Llewelyn Slate Company. Pieces were sung by the choir, and a very happy evening (I must say so, you know) was spent. WEDDING TOUR.—Young Mr. Gee, son of Mr. E. W. Gee, Denbigh, paid a flying visit to this parish with his bride on Wednesday, July 25. He visited the Slate Quarry, Pontpren, of which his father is part owner, in connection with Mr. Gee, publisher, and others. This is bad weather for haying. The rain is coming down in torrents every day, and the wind is blowing very heavily. Not much railway news. The navvies are all gone. People do not want to have them here again as long as this generation is alive. ELLIS O'R NAXT.

PWLLHELI. RESCUE FROM DRow-Ni.NG.A, few days ago a very gallant rescue from drowning took place at Pwllheli Nir. J. H. Wil- liams, son of the late lamented 3fr. R. G. Williams, barrister, was returning from bathing, and when near the bridge by the station he noticed a chillI in the river and several people looking on, but nobody offering to render any assistance at all.

Waters and Adie's band gave a concert in the assembly rooms of the Queen's Hotel, on Monday night. The attendance was not large but the entertainment was excellent. The band performed several operatic airs with great efficiency; the first vio- linist caused great amusement with his clever and eccen- tric solo; and the flautist charmed and astonished the audience by his air and variations on the piccolo. Among the amateurs were the Misses Thomas, Penparke, who sang The Flower Gatherer," and Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" and Mr. John Edwards" The Raft" (en- cored). Mr. Stokes and Mr. Foster, sang with their usual felicity, and were several times encored. "The Turkey and the Bear," by Mr. Foster, created much laughter and won an encore. Mr. R. S.

The officer went to her and asked what she wanted. She replied that she wanted her bag. On being told to go to her lodgings, she replied that it was not the policeman's business. He afterwards saw her going to the Terrace, and in about twenty minutes time going to the Castle. She was drunk, and, therefore, he took her into custody.

ti: THE DEATH OF SIR THOMAS LLOYD. After a few days' illness Sir Thomas Davies Lloyd, Bart., died at Bronwydd, his country residence, on Sat- urday night, July 21st, in his fifty-seventh year. He at- tended the Lampeter Jubilee Festival on the 28th June and made a short speech, and also attended the Assizes at Cardigan where he was foreman of the jury. His death has, therefore, created some surprise in the county where he was well known and deeply respected. His illness on Fri- day became alarming and it was deemed necessary to tele- graph for a London physician and Mr. M. 0. Lloyd, the eldest son of the deceased baronet. Sir Thomas D. Lloyd, of Bronwydd, is thus noticed in Thorn's British Directory Lloyd, Sir Thomas Davies, Bart. (United Kingdom, 18(53, M.P. for Cardigan district), J.P. and D.L. for counties Cardigan, Carmarthen, and Pembroke.

Arms Az., a wolf salient, arg. Crest: A boar chained to a holly tree, ppr. Motto: "I D(itiw bo'r (liolch," "To God be thanks." Lineage The descent of the ancient house of Bronwydd is paternally Cymric and maternally Norman, tracing in the latter line without interruption from Martin de Tours, the Norman conqueror of Cemmaes, in virtue of which descent and the tenure of the barony, the representative of the Bronwydd House, is inheritor of the title Lord or Baron of Cemmaes, the last Lord Marcher title now subsisting. The following genealogical table gives, first, the maternal lineage from Martin de Tours through the Owens of Henllys to AnrW, the last of that line, who married Thomas Lloyd, Esq., of Bronwydd, the great grandfather of the present Sir Thomas Davies Lloyd, Bart., by which marriage the purely Cymric line of Lloyd was joined to the Normano- Cymric line of Henllys. Martin de Tours (as we learn from the Baronia de Kerne us, printed from the MS. of George Owen, of Hen- llys, in the archives of Bronwydd), came over at the time of the Conquest, from France—it is supposed from his name that he came from Tours—conquered the Cantref of Cemmaes (Pembroke), and, settling down at Newport, built there a castle, after the manner of the Lord Marchers. When he married is not known, but he had a son, Robert, his successor, who married Maud Peverel, and his son, William Martin, married Angharad, daughter of the Lord Rhys, Prince of South Wales (as the con- clusion of much bloody conflict), and had by her a son, William, Lord of Cenimaes, who was succeeded by a son— Nicholas, Lord of Cemmaes, who married a Norman lady, Maud, dau. of Guy de Brien. His dau. Nesta m. Richard de Hoda, grandson of Lucas de Hoda, of Cemmas [probably one of Martin de Tours'companions,in arms]. His son Philip ap Richard de Hoda married, like his ancestor William, a lady of the Welsh Princely House of Tewdwr, Nesta, daughter of Llewelyn of Rhydderch of Henllys. This was the introduction of the Norman stock to Henllys as a residence. The son of Philip and Nesta was- Philip Fychan (the little, being of smaller stature per- haps than his father), of Henllys, whose son- Philip Ysgolhaig (the learned-vide Cartas Antiquas (le H(,iilllls al)i(d Bronwydd, 1858), married Lleyky (Lucy), dau. of Gwrgeneu ap Rhys Chwith, Esq. of the Body to Edward 1.

THE DOLGELLEY MURDER. As was announced last week a book containing poetry, in manuscript, had been found at Pare, the residence of Cadwaladr Jones, the young man who has been appre- 9 hended on a charge of the wilful murder of Sarah Hughes. The poetry was entirely in Welsh. It consisted of engly- nion,pennillion, and even cywyddau. On the inside of the cover of the book was the name of the prisoner, and on the opposite side, what was evidentlj7, an attempt to com- mence some poetical composition, commencing with the words in Welsh, 0 Give me Thy Holy Spirit." There was nothing more than that on the first page. Then about forty pages were occupied with rhyme, written in black and coloured ink, and also in pencil. Here was an englyn "To my Sweetheart," stanzas to Clynog, a bard who lived near Brithdir, and then, some verses headed "From the World to the Grave," and compositions on other subjects. Through these ran the feelings of a poet- ical spirit; the jottings down of a man who looked out upon the world and into human life and death with an observant eye. In one place, for instance, it is observed that the liberated soul will weary a planet in its flight," and in another it is remarked Ah, it is a great thing to live." It appears, however, that the poetry was not en- tirely the prisoner's composition, but nieces he had selected and copied into his book. The following verses written towards the end of the book, entitled Fy nghartre yn y Coed," are said to be his own :— Wel dyma le diwall, Neb, neb yn gwneud gwg, 'Does neb yina 'n deall Beth yw tafod rlrwg. 3tynwesol dangnefedd Sydd yma'n parhau, Coroni 'r gwirionedd, A gwrthod v gau. Y Byrdwn— AVelsoch chwi erioed, Welsoeh chwi erioed, Le bach mor anwvl A 'nghartre yn y coed Ac os daw cym'dogion, Neu estron i'n lie, Ceith groesaw pob calon, A digon o dé. Neb ffrae byth ni chlywch, Ond pawb yn ddiball, Neb, neb yn anynad Yn lliwiad i'r Hall. Welsoeh chwi erioed. Welsoeh chwi erioed, Le bach mor anwyl A 'nghartre yn y coed. For the benefit of those who do not understand the Welsh Language, a literal translation may be given as under:— Well here is a perfect spot, Where no one has a frown, And no one here knows What is an angry word. Blissful peace Here exists Where truth is crowned, And the false rejected. Chorus- Did you ever see, Did you ever see Such a happy spot As my home in the wood. And if ever my neighbours Or strangers come to see me They will receive a cordial welcome, And plenty of tea. A quarrel is never to be heard, But all live peacefully No one is disagreeable, Or with a lion's hatred towards another. Dolgelley, Thursday. A full hour before the doors of the County Hall were opened, they were besieged by a large crowd of towns- people, anxiously waiting the hour of eleven o'clock, when some of them would be admitted to the interior of the building. Ladies were excluded altogether, al- though there were several applications for ad- mittance, not to hear the evidence, they said, but just to see the prisoner. The chief constable. Captain Clough, had made arrangements to have a large police force on hand for any emergency. There was, however, nothing to call for their interference, excepting a great deal of push- ing and attempts to obtain an entrance before the time set down for hearing. The magistrates began to arrive shortly before eleven o'clock, and took their seats around the table generally used by the barristers and solicitors at county courts, sessions, and assizes. Lewis Williams Esq., occupied the magisterial chair, as the senior magis- trates of the Dolgelley Bench. On his right were H. J. Reveley, Esq., W. J. Beale, Esq., and the Rev. John Jones, and on the left, Griffith Williams, Esq., John Vaughan, Esq., and Charles Jones, Esq. The other seats were occupied by Mr. J. R. Jones, solicitor, and Mr. David Pugh, solicitor, the latter being sworn interpreter in the enquiry. Then to the left were Mr. Clough, the solicitor for the prosecution, and next him Mr. V\ R. Davies and hie senior partner. Mr. Jones, who are watching the case for the prisoner. Still more to the left the magistrates' clerk, Mr. Griffith Jones Williams, and his clerk, occupied seats, while behind them, and above the magistrates on the Bench, generally occupied by the Judge and the members of the grand jury, the Chief Constable provided convenient accommodation for the members of the Press who were present in great force. In the seat immediately behind the solicitors for the prosecution and the defence were, Mr Superintendent Owen Hughes, Mr. Edward Jones, M.D., and Captain Clough while directly behind this again was the dock containing the prisoner in custody of P.S. Roberts, Aberdovey. In the side docks were Mr. Owain Thomas, the governor of the county prison and two other officers. On entering the dock the prisoner was seen to be strongly affected, holding his head down and partly covering his face with his hand. During the evidence relating to the finding of the portions of the body, the prisoner bowtd himself down, and rested his head on the front of the dock. Throughout the afternoon lie clasped his hands around the side rail of the dock, and leaned his head upon his hands. The crowd in the hall were perfectly orderly manifesting no feelings throughout the trial, excepting when Inspector Jones repeated slowly the prisoner's ad- mission. Then a sensation ran throughout the court. The enquiry commenced at eleven o'clock, and continued until the evening. EXAMINATION OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER. Cadwabclr Jones was brought up on remannd, and charged with the wilful murder of Sarah Hughes, on Thursday morning, July 26. There were present on the Bench, Lewis Williams, Esq., H. J. Reveley, Esq., John Vaughan, Esq., W. J. Beale, Esq., Griffith Williams, Esq., Charles Jones, Esq., and the Rev. John Jones. Mr. Clough appeared to prosecute and Mr. W. R. Davies watched the case on behalf of the prisoner. The proceedings were opened by Mr. Clough in a brief address, which was almost inaudible to the reporters. Margaret Hughes said—I live at Brithdir, and am a single woman. I am sister of the deceased woman Sarah Hughes. I saw her the last time on Monday night seven weeks last Monday. My sister left home about six o'clock in the evening, saying that she was going to Dolgelley. I did not see her alive after that time. Previously to that time my sister was in service at Coedmwsoglog. She left her situation the Saturday previously. She had been there since Good Friday last. She went there the first Wed- nesday after Good Friday, remaining there until the 2nd of June. The prisoner worked on the farm at Coed- mwsoglog. I saw the prisoner previous to the Monday at Brithdir. We merely conversed about the weather. I saw him again the fiset Monday after we missed her, on Monday, the 1,1th. I saw him on the road on the way to Coedmwsoglog. I had some conversation with the pri- sener on the following Tuesday. I asked him if he had seen anything of my sister, and if anyone had been there asking about her. He replied that he had seen no one. He thent went on. I saw him again on another occa- sion. It was on the road near to the place where I had seen him on the Monday. He spoke to me, saying that *he wanted a little girl. I had to go there to rock the cradle. Every time I saw him I observed to him, it is a strange thing about Sarah. I saw him once again, but no conversation occurred. I have seen the remains of my sister at the dead house of the workhouse. The witness was too much affected at this point to con- tinue her evidence further. Howell Jones said-I live with my father at Rhydy- maen, and now working at Hengwrt uchaf. I have been working at Coedmwsoglog. I went there last some time last May. Cadwaladr Jones was also working there. He occasionally stayed in the house, but I cannot say whether he slept there or not. The deceased, Sarah Hughes, also worked at the farm. I cannot say whether she slept there or not. She was there in the morn- ing. I slept at home, so cannot say. I last saw her there the 2nd of June, at Coedmwsoglog. I cannot say exactly [the J last time I saw the prisoner working at the farm. He told me he had told others he was going to Dinas fair. I don't recollect when he spoke to me. I left the farm on a Saturday night. She was going at the same time. By Mr. Reveley—I did not observe any intimacy be- ween the prisoner and the deceased. Mr. Davies said he had nothing to ask the witness. Given Lewis said—I live at Penrallt, about two miles from Dolgelley, and less than a mile from Pare, taking the footpath. I remember the 4t.h June, and the prisoner Cadwaladr Jones, coming to my house on the evening of that day. He came there about eight o'clock in the even- ing. I had some conversation with him about milk pans. He came there to buy a churn. He remained there about one hour. By Mr. Reveley—He went away about nine o'clock. IVititess-I know it was nine because the bell rang about five minutes after he left. By Mr. Griffith Jones Williams—He went along the path the nearest way to his home. By Mr. Vaughan—I did not notice anything strange in his appearance. Catherine Griffiths said-I am in service with Mrs. Davies, Eldon House, Dolgelley. Sarah Hughes was my aunt. I remember Monday, June 4th. My aunt came to see me that evening about seven o'clock, remaining there about half an hour. During that time I had conversation with her. She left about half past seven. Ann Ellis said- live at Plas Goch, Dolgelley. On Monday, June 4, I saw Sarah Hughes at this end of Coed Ffriddarvv. Saruh Hughes was going to town. I was going to Dolgelley at six o'clock. It was considered unnecessary to further examine this witness to prove seeing the deceased in Dolgelley at that hour on the 4th. Margaret Williams, wife of Richard Williams, Unicorn Lane, said—I remember the 4th June. I saw Sarah Hughes that evening. By Mr. Reveley-She left our house between half-past eight and nine. Witness—She was in the habit of calling at our house but not often, I did not remember having seen her there so late on a previous occasion.- I do not know which way she went on leaving. By Mr. Griffith J. Williams—There was no one with her at my house. She left with no one. And I did not see her in anyone's company. Ann Williams said-I live near the Arran Bridge, Dolgelley. I remember meeting Sarah Hughes on Mon- day evening, June 4th. I was returning home from Caerynwch. I met the deceased near the Ship Mill on the river side of the road. The deceased was going to- wards her home at Brithdir. I was coming towards Dolgelley. It was then about nine o'clock in the evening. After I passed her I saw her looking back towards me. I did not speak to her. By Mr. G. J. Williams—I saw no one with her, no one going after her on the road, and I met no one coming in the same direction as the deceased. I am certain that it was she. Griffith Thomas said-I am a weaver working at Aber- naint Factory. I recollect the 16th July. I was walking on the side of the river Arran that morning. Did you find anything in the river ?—I did.

I saw a human arm near the centre of the bridge stopped by the force of the water. Edwd. Roberts fetched the limb out and handed it over to me. I took the piece to the dead house at the workhouse. In conse- quence of further information I returned to the river and went to Abernaint, where I saw other pieces handed over to other officers, P. C. Cadwaladr Jones and P.C. Hughes. The pieces found that; day were taken to the dead house and put together. When put together the pieces formed al- most a human body. Now we will go to the 18th. Do yen remember the 18th?—Yes.

Did you surround the house?—Yes we waited outside until he came out. 1 W ho went up to him—Mr. Hughes. I took part in the conversation. Mr. Hughes and I and the other con- staples followed. We searched the house. What then occurred?- Immediately I began to search upstairs in the furthest loft he came after me. When I was searching the prisoner came to me; called me by name. I wrote it down after I got to the town. What did lie say?—What he said was in Welsh "You may as well take no further trouble. It is my desire to tell you that I did it." (Sensation in court). Mr. Beale—Was it volunteered or in answer to ques- tions ?—Voluntarily. Mr. Beale—Was it to prevent you taking more trouble? -So I took it. What then?—I then asked him, "Do you know the im- portance and the consequence of what you have told me. I must make use of all you say upon your trial." He re- plied, I do know." Then I asked him, "Do you mean to tell me that you killed Sarah Hughes?" He replied, "I do. I did it, and no one else. That is the truth. That is the truth." What did you do after that?—I took him to prison, telling him he would have to come to Dolgelley. What did you do afterwards ?—We went to the cow- house. The prisoner accompanied us. What occurred there?—P.C. Vaughan found a sack in the corner of the cow-house, covered with stones. After- wards we went down towards the river, mvself and the prisoner in front, and the other officers following. Did you stop at any place ?-About 200 yards from the house, towards the river, the p^sonerstopped and said 'We will go this way." He had prfviously stated in Welsh I is there need to go to the river." Prisoner and I then turned into an enclosure, something like a garden. The prisoner turned to the right il-uthe garden, as if he was going backwards to the top of the garden. There I saw the earth covered with branches. The prisoner pointing to the place, said, Here everything has been." Yma y !:u 1, I,eth- > 1iJ}'r P()lice Officers, Supt. Hughes, P.S. Williams, and P.C. Vaughan, beo^an to remove the- branches, and Mr. Hughes and Mr. Wiiliams picked up something from the surface. We then went back towards Pare, and prisoner asked to have his Bible. We then took him to Dolgelley. Did the prisoner make further remarks voluntarily ?— Yes, he asked me questions. What was it?—He asked me if the Lord would forgive him for what he had done. Did you answer ?—I told him I believed He would. Any other conversation ?—Nothing. He repeated that question off and on. Mr. Clough-Was there anyone present in the loft when the prisoner made the admission ?- Yes, P.C. Vaughan and P.C. Cadwaladr Jones. I afterwards called Superintendent Hughes and Sergeant Williams, and prisoner repeated his admission. Mr. Vaughan—Was he alone in the house ?—No, his wife and child. w' P. C. Cadwaladr Jones said-I am a police constable stationed at Dolgelley; was called, but was not asked to give evidence. Mr. Supt. Owen Hughes, Towyn, said—On the 18th July I went to Pare Farm, the residence of the prisoner. I was accompanied by Inspector Jones, Sergeant Williams and the other officers. When you reached the house did you find anythin" ?— About five minutes after arriving at the hou¡,;e I saw in front of the house on a block a hedge hook, and an axe. The handle of the hook was broken. Further on in the day I found the handle over the hedge about two or there yards from the grave. Does the handle fit the hook ?—Fits exactly. Mr. Reveley-Were there any marks of blood on any of th tltings f-None as far as I could see. It had been raining. D Air. G. J. Williams-Does the axe appear to have been I newly ground ?--It had a new appearance. After you had been there about an hour did you see the prisoner ?-About six o'clock I met the prisoner near the door-within two yards of his house. I bid him the com- pliment of the morning in Welsh. He replied, and I said, Don t be agitated. We have come here about the murder that has been committed in the neigbourhood. And when the other officers come up I said a murder has, been committed, and we are going to search every house in the neighbourhood until we find the guilty party. He replied "quite right. He ought to be found out." Mr. J. G. Williams You did search ?—Yes. i?1^" ^hen you were down below searching what did the prisoner say ?—Allow me to go up to Inspector Jones.
