1 SHOCKING SUICIDE AT COLCHESTER CAVALRY BAR-
. RACRS.—Yesterday (Thursday) morning, between 9 and 10
o'clock, • melancholy suLida took place at the cavalry
barracks in this town by private George Knott, 16th
(Queen's) Lancers, shooting himself through the bead with
• cavalry horse pistol. We are ioforroed that the unfor-
tunate man enlisted into the 16th Lancers on the 19th
March, 1842, and is aged 36. He is said to be one of the
most respectable men in the regiment, a good soldier,
with two good-conduct stripes, and his officers give him
• most excellent character. It appears that be had
suspicions of his wife's chutity when the regiment was
stationed at York, and since its arrival at Colchester
she had been corresponding with a man at York unknown
to her husband. Yesterday morning she received • letter
from this man at York, which came under her husband's
notice, sod, it is believed, had such an effect upon his mi•d
as to cause him to commit the rush act. He went to clean
his horse in the stable in the morning as usual, and upon
returning to his quarters in the married men's barracks
he shot himself by discharging the pistol beneath his chin,
his wife being at the time from home engaged in cleaning
the officers' quarters. The shot was instantly fatal in its
effects, and the unfortunate man lay in • pool of blood
grasping the pistol, being dreamed in trousers, shirt, and
forage cap, jut as he had left the stables. The sad affair
awaits the borough coroner's investigatiou.—Cdelnarford
