CORONER—My opinion is, that the flesh had been eaten away by some animal or other. I at first supposed it might be by dogs which were found running about, but I think it impossible that dogs would be enabled to have cleared the orbits of the eye so completely out. The flesh was also eaten from both hands, and since the body had been locked up and the dogs removed, he had found they had been still more eaten. On opening the body, he found in the apex of the right lung a large abscess touching the clavicle. This abscess had broken, and discharged itself into the air-passage of the lung, no doubt causing death; there were also tubercles, and other evidences of corruption, the breaking of the abscess being the immediate cause of death. The deceased bad evidently been dead for eight or ten days. The jury returned a verdict of " Natural death."  Trrn CWMCWDY MunDint.—lt is now reported confidently, that Williams, alias Griffiths, the supposed murderer of the unfortunate Thomas Edwards, at Cwmgwdy, near Brecon, is hovering about the country and within a few miles f Hereford. It has been stated most positively by several elderly people, in the neighbourhoods of Credeuhill and Tillington, that they have more than once seen the fugitive (whom they say they knew well) in the respective neighbourhoods; and it is moreover said, that a few evenings ago an old woman, having occasion to go to a shed after dark, in which she kept her donkey, saw Williams make his exit from the shed. Badnage-wood is supposed to be his refuge by day, and it is thought that he leaves his hiding-place by night, and receives sustenance at the hands of some staunch friend, who is not to be tempted by the large price set upon his head. Persons residing near the wood assert that each morning they can discover traces of the fugitive through the wood, and some of the old people in the neighbourhood are much alarmed by seeing lights moving about the wood at night—these most probably procesd from persons in search. However this may be, we are informed, upon the best authority, that there are good grounds for believing that this locality is the " whereabouts" of the wretched man. It may naturally be asked, Why do not those who are so well assured that ho is there apprehend him?" The task is much easier contemplated than performed. Badnage-wood is a most extensive one, and we have not heard of its having been visited by more than two or three persons at a time, whereas it would take twenty or thirty persons to beat it properly. A wood, of all other places, is the one where a person might be soonest apprised of the approach of another, and where he might more easily escape detection unless a number of parties could surround him. Several unhappy Rights have been taken up on suspicion, and, after examination, have been discharged—in particular, one at Aberystwith, and another at Stourbridge. One poor fellow, from his unlucky resemblance to the fugitive, has been apprehended five times. On the last occasion ho begged that the magistrates would give him a certificate that he was not the man—a petition that was granted. It is to be regretted that the reward for the apprehension of Williams was not offered in the Hereford papers immediately on its first publication, as he is so well knoe.n in Here ford and neighbourhood.—liereford Times.
