The Pontsarn Mystery., AN OPEN VERDICT RETURNED. The adjourned inquest on the body of the man found drowned in the Tatf l'echan river, at Pontsarn, on Sunday, 27th February, was held on Tuesday afternoon, at the Aberglas Inry Lefore Dr. Jones, one of the coroners for Brecon* shire. At the outset the coroner made sympathtfa reference to the death of the Rev. J. Hathrea Davies, of Cefn, who was the foreman of the jury. Dr. Jones said he would like to acknow- ledge the great assistance he had at all time. received from Mr. Davies, and he offered the widow and family his sincere sympathy in their sorrow. At the adjourned inquest, a fortnight ago, Mrs. Recs, wife of the landlord of the Adam and Eve Inn, Pondside, i'< rthyr, said she believed the deceased was Mr. I, "ilry Williams, formerly a hay and corn merchan: "f Treherbert, and late of Cardiff, and a distant relative of Sir W T. Lewis, who had stayed at her house. Sinca then Mr. Williams has written a letter to the Merthyr Express to say that he is still alive. The Coroner, on Tuesday, said the inquesfe had been adjourned for a fortnight for a posft mortem examination, and to enable the police to make further inquiries, inasmuch as thera was some suspicion that the deceased might have been connected with the Cefn cemetery outrage, which occurred on the 19tli February, P.S. Davies, Cefn, said that since the last inqu iry several persons had viewed the body, but had failed to identify it. A detective from Scotland-yard, who was accompanied by an inspector of Cardiff police, had also interviewed Mr. Henry Williams. Mrs. Rees. re-called, said that after what she had seen in the papers she was bound to change her opinion. Dr. Webster, who conducted the post mortem examination, said that death was due to drown. ilig. He thought the body had been in the watel for at least ten days. Deputy-Chief Constable Hands, who watched the case on behalf of the Breconshire police. elicited from Dr. Webster that deceased did not appear to have been a man of drunken habits, and there was nothing which would enable him to say whether or not he was a maa whose mind was deranged. The Coroner, in summing up, said he was not at all satisfied of the present existence of Henry Williams. If he were still alive be iriigbthav. attended the inquest to show himself. The jury returned a verdict or "Pound Drowned," and found that the body was that of a person unknown. j j

INNOVATION.—An arrangement has been made by the Great Western Railway Company, which, when it becomes generally 1 known, is likely to prove a striking success. Parcels can now be taken to any of the Company's stations and booked to the United States, Canada, and all other parts of the world. The] usefulness of this innovation will at once be appreciated when it is remembered that the public are not generally well acquainted with the routine of forwarding parcels to places outside their own country. In future, therefore, senders of parcels abroad will no doubt find it greatly to their convenience to simply hand in their consignments to the neatest Great Western station, where, of course, all information regard- ing rates, together with insurance, etc., charges, can be obtained.

POOR LAW RELIEF CASES.—Up to recently the Merthyr Board of Guardians have sat as a relief committee, to hear special appeals in cases where persons had been summoned to contribute towards the maintenance of relatives. In some cases the orders made by the Magis- trates were reduced, and the sequel was heard at the police court; last Friday.—Mr. Llewelyn Richards, warrant'officer, applied to the Stipen- diary for several contribution orders, and the Stipendiary refused to'grant them.—Sir Marchant said that if the orders which he made were disregarded the Board must take the respon- sibility of making orders themselves. When cases were brought to court they were decided on evidence, and if the Board wished those orders varied the cases should be sent to court again with any fresh evidence. The Board, he added, had no.business to vary the orders after the Bench had made them. THE PARKS.—A sub-committee of the Corpor- ation have of late considered the expense and revenue of establishing bowling greens in various parts of the borough, an exhausive report having been drawn up by the Borough Engineer, show- ing what had been the outlay and income on similar greens in other towns and boroughs. At a meeting of the Parks Committee of the Corporation, on Friday afternoon, the sub- committee recommended that, as an experiment, a green be laid out at Thomastown Recreation Ground.—Alderman A. Wilson, however, thought a greater revenue might be got at the Cyfarthfa Castle grounds, and upon his proposition the Council will be recommended, on Monday next, to establish a green at Cyfarthfa.—Mr. Thomas, park superintendent, reported that the pair of swans presented to the Council by the Marquis of Bute, and the pair of Egyptian geese presented by Mr. W.
