THE MYSTERIOU.4 DEATH OF P. C. STUBD.9.—The Cardiff Times writing on the above subject says:— Nearly the only remaining mysterious feature of the death of policeman Stubbs has been removed by a letter received by Sergeant Adams, from Mr. W. N. Reynolds, of that town, who states that he in l, company with Mr. Sladen and Mr. Joseph Bra:yn, passed over the road from St. Lythians to Cardiff at the time described by the witnesses as that at which they met three men in a cart—the parties who leaned to the suspicion of foul play having , fancied that the three men in the cart were poachers who had murdered the constable. This is now exploded by the police ascertaining who the parties were. Mr. Reynolds and his companions state that they did not see the constable. They were looking ahead, to avoid coining in collision with other vehicles, and did not notice the dying man on the ground. Taking Dr. Paine's statement, that the man could not have lived over ten minutes after the injury, and recollecting that it was several minutes from the times Mr. Reynolds, and afterwards Mr. Lewis passed the it cerised, before Mr. Morgan Thomas found him, still alive, it is plain that the fatal injury could not have been inflicted more than a minute or two before Mr. Reynolds reached the spot. This in itself goes far to negative the idea of the deceased having fallen in a scuffle with poachers. Besides, there is the fact that his clothing was undisturbed, and only dirty on one side. As he fell, so he lay—the dirt on his left side and the fatal injury on his right, where the horse must have knelt or trod on him in rising. Every fact as to the position of the body, the hat, &c.,concurs with what would naturally have been the case had the man dropped off the falling horse over its left shoulder, and been struck by the struggling animal in its rise. There is nothing surprising in the riderless horse not having been met by Mr. Lewis or Mr. Morgan Thomas, for the animal had but a very short distance to go on the turnpike before it turned aside to the lane on its right, leading to its master's farm The only suspicious thing to be accounted is the whistle heard by Mr. Thomas, and a little inquiry at the South Wales railway station at St. Pagans would most likely account for this also. As for the threats of poachers, mentioned by the deceased to Mr. Harris, and by the latter repeated at the inquest, there is nothing more in them than every constable who does his duty must expect.to be exposed to. No doubt the Cardiff thieves have often vowed vengeance against Detective Price, and it is matter of notoriety how often the brothel pimps have threatened P.C. Evans. But "threatened men live long," and we are not to assume that because men occasionally go catching rabbits and hares at midnight, that they are capable of laying wait flu. a policeman on a public road and murdering him in cold blood. We have written thus lengthily on the case because we feel it would be a pity to have the black shadow of an infamous crime hanging over the rural population of this neighbourhood, endeservedly.

Under Holloway's treatment the source of this complaint may lie in obscurity and the successful Issue be still the same whether the stomach, liver, large or small Intestines be the seat of malady, for his Judiciously taken, and his Ointment briskly rubbed on the abdominal walls, restrain the excited vessels and regulate each erring function, let it spring whence it may. Both medicaments address themselves directly to reproduce the exact balance between sensibility and irntablity, between morbid and healthy secretion, between natural and excessive excretion.
