COMMITTAL OF A WOMAN FOR POISONING HER
HUSBAND AND CHILD.—BRECON, JULY 25.-0 wing to
facts which had come to the knowledge of Mr. Davies,
the coroner, he ordered the bodies of John Michael and
Martha Michael, his daughter, to be exhumed, in order
that an inquest might be holden to ascertain whether
there was any truth in the reports which had for some
time been prevalent in this neighbourhood that the de-
ceased had not come fairly by their deaths. The in-
quests were formally opened on the 17th, when the con-
tents of the stomacns were handed over to Mr. Herapath,
the Bristol chymist, and the inquiry was resumed and
concluded yesterday, when the jury returned a verdict
" That John Michael died from the effects of arsenic
administered by his wife, Margaret Michael;" and
" That the deceased, Martha Michael, died from arsenic
administered by her mother, Margaret Michael." She is
fully committed to take her trial at the present assizes.

Baltimore American,_ is to count one in the census.

companion was lying fast asleep by the road side. He
returned, and found that his young friend had been
struck dead by lightning. Mr. Ffolkes, thuseuddenlyd

J Holloway's Ointment and
Pills, the finest remedy in the world for the cure of Scrofula.
David Davies, a miner, living at Newport, had been agicted
from his infancy with scrofula or king's evil, which was greatly
aggravated by the nature of his employment. All the doctors
he applied to were unsuccessful in their treatment of his case,
even those at the Infirmary at 'Bristol, whither he had gone in
the hope of obtaining relief. In this condition he commenced
the use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and'so rapid was the
cure by these fine medicines that it is considered by those cog-
nisant of it to be perfectly miraculeus. Sold by all venders of
medicines, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244,
Strand, London.
