DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE BY A GUARDS-
MAN.—A singular and desperate case of suicide was at-
' tempted by a private of the Coldstream Guards, named
Sayers, in Sale-street, Paddington, on Saturday night, under
the subjoined circumstances. At half-past 11 o'clock on
Saturday night police-constable 175 D was attracted to a
scene of uproar and excitement near a public-house in the
above street, and found the soldier struggling in a semi-
unconscious state, in the arms of two civilians, who stated
that they had been in his company in the course of the
evening, and that he had just wilfully swallowed some
oxalic acid while under the influence of liquor. The con-
stable removed the wretched man with assistance to St.
Mary's Hospital, near at hand, and his case being made
known four or five medical gentlemen of the hospital imme-
diately attended on him and administered several emetics,
which seemed to produce the desired results, and he was at
once put to bed. In his conscious state he pulled out of his
pocket a piece of paper labelled " poison," which he said
contained oxalic acid, that he purchased with his last penny
at the chemist's shop of Mr. Watts, Edgware-road, avowedly
for the purpose of removing stains from his tunic, and
in-
stead of applying it in that way he took it by
eating it up in its dry state. Yesterday it was asniereatE of

that he was progressing favourably, and hopes war
tained of his recovery.
