It appears that some time ago a farmer of the name of Plio3, who occupied a farm called Cae-maen, Aberogwen, tnariied his servant, to whom at the time Price's son was paying his addresses." After the marriage all three lived together till the old man's death, which occurred a short time 320. By the will John Pri' e and his stepmother became j lint pos- sessor of the farm Recently, however, Mrs Price seems to have intimated her intention of marrying again, and tho suppcsitiou ia that, fearful of the farm paesiug into other hands, and prompted also by feelings of jealoury, Price (uttackecjhei rn Wed- nesday afternoon,jictlicting a wound woict," must have proved itumediately fatal, and afterwards cut his own throat. Catherine Price, the victim, was about 50 years old, whiletl e murderer was font years older. On Wednesday afternoon Price hid been drinking at the Gate House Ian, on the above road, neaj Olte Maen, which place, however, be left perfectly sober and apparently in high spirits.

Run- ning out she informed one of the farm labourers, and they both returned at onco only to fiad Mrs Price quite dead, and Price lying by her side dyiug from a terrible gash right across his throat.

The crime was of a moR detcrmlnerl character, àhs Price's head being almost severed from her body, whilst the murde/er had inflicted a wouud almost as severenpon himself. There were no indications of a etruggl; saving taken p'ace, and the only other injury on the woman was a slight incision on the left hand, received, no doubt, while endeavouring to ward off tho savage attt-ck of her sou-in-law.
