SUPPOSED CASE OF POISO ffING.

AIZERYSTWITH, SATURDAY.,--.The neighbourhood
of Pontrwydferdegoed has been thrown into a state of
the most painful excitement in consequence of the
death of an aged lady named Mrs. Ann Jones, under
circumstances leaving no doubt of her having been
poisoned by arsenic, and the apprehension of her
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, as the sus-
pected perpetrator of the crime.
The unfortunate lady was a person of very respect-
able family, and had resided at Bronderbleau for a
considerable period with her eldest son, Mr. T. Jones,
and his wife. In 1846 the deceased lady's brother
died, leaving very considerable property, and be-
queathing her, among others, a legacy of 1,0001.,
which she placed in her son's hands, requesting him
to deposit it at her bankers, at Aberystwitb ; instead,
however, of fulfilling her intentions, it appears that
he paid in the money in his own name, and appro-
priated a portion of it to his own purposes. This
being discovered, Mrs. Jones commenced a suit for
its recovery, and obtained a verdict. The son
then, without baying anything to bis family, went
off to America, and his wife and family went to live
with his mother, and as it is said treated the old lady
very unkindly. The old lady having afterwards died
under circumstances of great suspicion, an inquest has
been commenced on the body before the county co-
roner, Mr. R. Williams, M. D.
The following is a brief summary of the evidence
given at the inquest :
Mr. Evans, surgeon of Aberystwith, deposed to
having made a post mortem examination of the body.
The inner coat of the stomach, upon being opened,
had an unusual appearance of inflammation, to such
an extent as to awaken his suspicions, and to in-
duce him to send to Bristol to Mr. lierapatb, the
analytical chemist. In witness's opinion death was
caused by some unusual inflammation produced by
the presence of some irritating substance. The ap-
pearances were different from those of ordinary in-
flammation.

Mr. R. Rowland, surgeon, also assisted in making
the post mortem examination, but could not undertake
to say whether the deceased was poisoned or not.
Thomas Beard, police-constable No. 24, deposed to
his having conveyed the stomach and its contents to
Mr. Herapath, at Bristol. He (witness) knew John
Jones, of Caenmawr, and had heard him say that
about two months ago he purchased twopennyworth
of arsenic at Mr. Humphries's shop at Aherystwith.
He told witness that the deceased, IVltii. Ann Jones,
had directed him to purchase it, saying that she wanted
a bit of arsenic to kill some rats.
Evan Evans deposed to his having oauied the in-
quest to be holden. He sent for a policeman after
Mr. Jones's death, because he knew that she bad been
ill-treated. In July, 1849, the deceased came from
Pengraig, because she said she could get no peace
there. She said that her daughter-in-law (the pri-
soner) had thrown her down stairs, and she had marks
of violence on her arms and head. She said she would
never go back to her daughter-in-law again.
Mr. William Herapath, analytical chemist of Bris•
tol, deposed that he had examined the viscera of the
deceased, which had been submitted to him. He dis-
covered arsenic in the substance of the liver, and in
the contents of the stomach and abdomen, which no
doubt had caused the death of the deceased.

Charles Jones, of Caenmawr, was then called, and
asked if he had anything to say respecting the death
of Mrs. Ann Jones. He replied that he had, and
being sworn, deposed that on the Monday before she
died the prisoner had asked him to buy twopenny
worth of arsenic for her at Aberystwith. She said
she wanted it to kill rats. He want to Mr.
Humphries' shop, and was served with it by the
tallest apprentice, who folded is in white paper, and
wrote something on it, which he could not read. He
(witness) then took it and gave it to the prisoner.
When he gave it to her he told her he was afraid that
she had some mischief in her head, and she replied,
" Nonsense, it is for rats." The witness, on being
questioned, admitted that he had told a different
story, but said that he had done so because he had
been bribed ; the prisoner had bribed him, and had
promised to give him a pony, and her mother was
to give him a cheese. What he now deposed to was
the truth.
The CORONER here adjourned the inquiry, and re-
manded the prisoner.
There was a very considerable feeling in favonr of
the prisoner on the part of the crowd, and at one time
considerable danger of a riot to effect her rescue,.

On 'Wednesday last, Miss Sarah Biffin, the cele-
brated miniature painter, who was born without
hands or arms, died at her lodgings in Duke-street,
in this town, at the age of sixty-six. The deceased
was born at East Quantoxhead, near Bridgewater,
Somerset, in the year 1784. She manifested in
early life the talent for drawing and painting which
she afterwards cultivated to so extraordinary an ex-
tent ; and she was first initiated in the rudiments
of the art by a Mr. Dukes, to whom she bound her-
self, by a written agreement, to give the whole of
her time and exertions, and for that purpose to re-
main for a term of years in his house. Some time
after this engagement had been contracted, the Earl
of Morton became- acquanted with, and so much
interested in Miss Biffin, that he caused her to be
further instructed by Mr. Craig, a gentleman of
great eminence irl his profession as a miniature
Painter. Under his skilful tuition, she attained to
an almost miraculous degree of perfection ;so much
so, indeed, that in the year 1821 the " Society of
Arts and Commerce Promoted," for one of her pic-
tures, presented her with a prize medal, through
their president, his Royal Highness the late Duke of
Sussex. The Earl of Morton also made liberal offers.
but unavailingly, to Mr. Dukes, to induce him to re-
linquish his claim. upon Miss Biffin • and although
she was assured by professional gentlemen that the
agreement was not legally binding, she refused to
avail herself e)f the circumstance, and she remained
with Mr. Dukes for nearly 16 years. During the
whole of this tim .o she resided with Mr. and Mrs.
Dukes as one of their family, and was treated by
them with unifort a kindness ; but it will scarcely be
believed, although such is undoubtedly the fact, that
in compensation fo r this exclusive sacrifice of the best
part of her life, M iss Biffin, at no time, received from
Mr. Dukes, in n coney, more than 51. per annum.
Miss Biffin was patronised by their late Majesties
George the Third , George the Fourth, William the
Fourth ; by the Q,useis Dowager, by her present
Majesty, by Princ e Albert, and by a host of the nobi-
lity,
and other d istinguished persons. For many
years she support ad herself by miniature painting ;
but after the deal h of her noble benefactor and ever
kind friend, the 1 :arl of Morton, there was no one,
like him, ready to assist her in obtaining orders for
pictures, or in dis, nosing of such as she was enabled
to complete when: not otherwise employed ; and as
age grew upon he r she became much reduced in cir-
cumstances. A few years ago she came to Liverpool,
where she made an ineffectual attempt to support herself
by her own exerssions. Our benevolent townsman,
Mr. Richard Rath: bone, took a great interest in her
welfare, and it wits principally by his exertions that,
a short time ago, a small annuity was purchased for
her by subscriptio n.—Liverpool Mercury.

Naricv.—A correspondent informs 113 that it was
Messrs. Redgrave, Lister, and Co., who purchased Mr.
Baxter's two-year old filly Nancy, by Pompey. The
price was 700 sou., with a further contingency of 500
sous. should she win the Great :Yorkshire Stakes at
York. She is still at Job Marson's, and is to remain
there.
Mr. Phillips's Montezuma, by Slane, died on Wednes-
day week of inflammation of the lungs. •
SPORTING MATCH AT PARTRIDGE SHOOTING. A
match for 2001. a side came off this week, hetwEen
George Osbaldestone Esq. (The 'Squire), an4W. S.
Crawford, Esq., on the preserves of Lord Scarborough,
at Rufford Hall, Notts. Sir Richard Sutton acted as
referee. The shooting was on Tuesday and Thursday,
Mr. Crawford giving " The 'Squire" ten brace each day.
On the first day Mr. Crawford bagged 75 brace, Mr.
Osbaldestone 69, which, with the ten brace given him,
left him with a majority of four brace. On Thursday
business was resumed, Mr. Osbaldestone having the
worst of the ground, and at the finish Mr. Crawford
was the winner by two brace. Good work for the old
'Squire, at the age of sixty-three, against a youthful
competitor.

INGENIOUS WINDLING.
At Guildhall, on Friday, John Stevenson, alias
Wilson, alias Price, alias Johnson, alias Williams, a
respectably dressed and gentlemanly looking indivi-
dual, describing himself as an usher, was charged
wi▪ th obtaining various sums of money from different
well-known firms in London.
William' Anderson Rose, oil-merchant, of Upper
Thames-street, said—l know the prisoner. He called
on me in May last. He brought me a sample of
naptha, and said he had discovered in hie efforts to
effect a coloured daguerreotype, the sample he pro-
duced. He professed ignorance as to the value of the
article, and requested my opinion in that respect. He
said it could be produced by the process by which he
di▪
scovered it at an expense of about twopence or
threepence
per llon, from common saw-dust—
( L aughtee)
the aid of electricity.—(Laughter.)
I told him that the market price of naptha of the
ga
same quality was from. 7s. to Bs. per gallon. Having
gi▪
ven him my opinion as to the value of the article,
he proposed
necessary to carry out the invention on a large
that I should join him in the expense
scale,, and share the profits accruing therefrom.
The apparatus required to produce the article he said
would require money, and he proposed that I should
advance him the money to purchase it. He would
construct it at his own house, and bring it complete to
my premises, where the naptha was to be manufac-
tured by this extraordinary process. Negotiations
were accordingly pending between prisoner and my-
self for some weeks, until at length prisoner sent a
