SUICIDE OF A SERGEANT OF

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS.

On Friday eight, at seven o'clock, an investigation
took place before Mr. H. Bedford, at the Canteen of St.
George's Barracks, Charing-cross, as to the death of
Colour-Sergeant Richard Gardener, aged 38, of the first
battalion of Coldstream Guards, who committed suicide
by .hooting himself with his musket.

The body presented a frightful spectacle, the right side
was nearly shot away from the head, and the brains
were strewed about. He appeared to have put the
muzzle of the rifle under his chin, and the ball had
pa,sed upwards through the ceilog. The deceased was
a remarkably tine young titan, and highly respected.
John Webster, pay and colour sergeant of the Ist
bqtalion of the Coldstx,iina Guards, said he often saw
the th ceased, and lie always appeared cheerful. At a
quarter past eleven_ yesterday morning witness saw
him off duty. He appeared as usual. At twenty
minutes to one witness was going up to his room, which
was immediately over the deceased's, when his wile
called to him, and sail a gun had gone off it, the de-.
ceased's room, and smoke was coming ut of the key
hole. The door was locked, and the key had been taken
out. The door was broken, and the dec:,ased was found
sitting on the bed with his bank against the wall, and his
fusee between his legs The right side of tne bed was
shot away.
To the CORONER—Th 'fusee ought never to be loaded,
but ammunition is kept in his room. He could not want
his discharge. tor he could have discharged himself, as
he had served 18 years.

Sergeant-Major Huth, of the same company, said that
that morning the deceased was taken before the com-
manding officer for taking a sum of 181. from private
Smales, to pay for his (Smales') discharge, which is eon
trary to the standing orders of the army. He was de-
sired by the commanding officer to produce the mottey,
when the deceased said it was at a friend's. The officer
told Lim to write a letter to his friend. The deceased
wrote an order for 181. on Mr. Dukins, of the W hite
Hart, Tottenham-court-road. Mr. Dukins sent an
answer—" I have no money of Sergeant Gardener's, nor
ever had." While the sergeant was gone with the letter
the deceased committed the act.

Sergeant E. Belcher, who had been on guard with the
deceased, also said he had seen no difference in his
manner. He mentioned about the 181. to him, and the
deceased smiled, and said it was all right. He was a
very high-spirited man, and was far above his station.
The money had been given by civilians for Smales's dia •
charge, and he believed they hsd written to the Com-
mander-in-Chief to know why he had not obtained it
The money in his box was only sufficient to pay his
company.

The CORONER summed np the evidence, and the jury
returned the following verdict—" That the deceased shot
himself while in a state of tetepprary insanity, produced
by pecuniary embarrassm, nt."
