This afternoon the totality coroner for the district, Mr.
Thai. Thorpe Deimos, held an inquest en the body of the
deceased in the mese-room of the regimen., when • number
of witnesses ware ssumin,"i.

It appeerod from the a videnoe that the deceased had been
for some days much depressed in epirlts, and it had been
Mated that lie was indebted to hie ompasy about 20/. On
Saturday ha was @jokes to on the subject of the loss of the
501. note referred to, sad not answering questioos which
were put to him I. a satielartory manner he woe placed
under arrest. About 20 minutes before two of the text
day the ofile,r on guild bead the deceased groaning, and
knocked at the door, and receiving no answer be culled for
asds•anos. When the door was broken open the deceased
was found etroggbog on the bed, but quite insensible. He
died immediately afterwards. There was nothing ommyed
to him while he was under Arrest, except Lis dinner and some
ale. An envelope was found on the table bearing the address,
"Miss M. A. Roe, Sydmonds Court Cam's, Donnybrook,
Dublin." Some pieces of an unfinished letter were also

Tt is wu said to be in the deceAsed's handwriting. A bottle
was also found beneath the mattress of the bed.

Home U. Eire Powell said be bad known the deceased for
the last year and a half. He had always found him eaergetic
end eacitable in bid manner. He wan quite the contrary
during the conversation with the colonel on Saturday last.
It struck him that deceased's manner wee then so listless
that it bsi &red on atupetani in. That was during the con-
versation which terminated in hie being placed under arrest.
He also obacrved a peculiar ghastly sppearanos In his
countenance. Pecuniary difficulties were iike4 to produce
awl appearances. There was nothing, however, in the
conduct of the deceased to lead to the supposition that he
cottemplated suicide.
Mr. lonsthao kiwi), surgeon to the regiment. said Its bed
made a post-mortem cesmioation of the deceased, end found
tho internal stirface of the stomach inflamed and die.
organised, be had n.l doubt from prussic acid. The bottle
pridaccd had contain. d prussic mid. It was quite possible
that he might have taken oxalis acid as well, as witness did
not think that praise acid would have produced the dia.
orgmbiation of the stomach alone.
The jury found thst " the deceased destroyed himself by
poison while labouring under a fit of teniparary insanity."
