SUICIDE BY DROWNING.
Nelson, This day,
The Colonist's correspondent at Motueka has Avirod the following message: — Mr T. R. BroAVsden, a retired paymaster in the British navy, who had not been seen since 11 o'clock on Sunday night, has just been found drowned at tho bottom of the river between the bridge and Mr R. Stable's house. A note avos found under his pillow yesterday morning expressing his intention of destroying himself, the supposed cause being that an information for indecent exposure Avould be heard in the next Court day. The deceased Avas much respected. It appears that the information was laid upon ridiculously Avcak grounds, and there can bo little doubt he Avould have been honorably acquitted, but the thing preyed on his mind.
