RAMSGATE, MARCH 26. _

• ,
Late onThursday afternoon last,- a route ar-
-rived here for the -detachment of the '2d Dragoon
".Guards, .or ;Queen's Bays, at our barracks, to
march to the head-quarters, Deal, the next morn-
iug, and from thence for Portsmouth, to embark,
• and join Lord Wellington's army. Accordingly,
, between nine and ten yesterday, morning, the de-
_ tachment was on parade; under arms, and lett the
barracks, at which time a most melancholy circimi-
-stance .took place: A private dragoon, named
George Gregory, was, it is.said, pretty .much in-
toxicated, and was reported so by an Officer to
'Major Gordon, whO' commanded the detachment,
and that the said Gregory was very refractory.-
-On this. Major. Gordon said to the_Otlicer, It
is of no use talking to a drunken man ; you will
only - get
•i abusive language perhaps ; order
Gregory into the cnstody of• the 'rear-guard—
(this .was. the barrack-yard). Immediately
after the detachment marched, and the rear-
. g:narsl not following so soon as it ought, MajZir
Gordon, •it is said, on• inquiry; found that Gre- '
gory, the private before mentioned, refused to go
H.e went to Thin), and Gregory said to the
Ilpior, that he woidd.not march until 4lie was told
why he was a. prisoner, Major Gordon then ,said,
Is" Gregory, you ,are drank:" The nian,said, '' I
ant not drunk," and made-use of mutinous lan-
guage to the Major, 'and still kept his horseback,
refusing to go on. Major.Gs..then seeing the Cor-
poral of ,the rear-guard without a sword, asked
him the reason, • and be was answered, that his
sword was at head-quarters to be sharpened. The
'Major then observing that the refractory soldier
- had a sword, he drew it out of the scabbard, and
struck the prisoner's horse several times with
the fiat part, to make him go forward, Gregory
still keeping a tight rein to prevent it. "Ille,.horse
then turrning•zbarp round, and the Major holding-
the sword. out, or repeating his stroke, .the point
of the swordentered Gregory's left side, just under
the ribs, which caused such effusion of blood, that
the, poor man died in a few minutes. The pri
soner, as is supposed by some, in pulling up
.the
horse, :and leaning hack, might have met the
point of the sword. The pour man cried out,
0 !' 0 h" and fell hook wards, the horse thgn
going on .a few yards. M•ijor Gordon ran: and
assisted in taking him riff the horse, saying,
" For God's sake ! will any person run for me-
dical assistance, and for a Magistrate Z" as be wish-
ed to deliver himself up. , then delivered him-
self 4th to the Deputy of Ramsgate, saying he was
fearful he had killed the man ; he knew not what
he should do, and had no idea how it civil,' pos-
sibly have been done, for it was unintentionai.7--
The Coroner was instantly
,sent for, and a 4E)/
swumoned, Who, after hearing a • e'reat masa of
evidence, ,returned, a verdict ofv Monskrughter
agOinst Mvjor Gordan, 'who was list night coin-
nutted and. sent- to Sandwich, to take his trial at
the next Session in that town, on the 14th of

nril. , .
It is a re,nhrliable circumstance, that this sol-
dier's sword hail been s,hurpene,l only the xl.ly,be-
fore, the regiment having been ordered for foreign
service. [lad this not been the case, ,it is,prot-
bable it wouid not have pierced his body.
