Load Bearing Wall?

[brooks693]

Whilst ripping down the old ceiling in my house, I noticed the ceiling boards between my dining room and corridor were put up before the wall separating them was constructed.

Does this mean it isn't load bearing, and if I fancy, may tear it down. I've attached a floor plan and a picture of the wall itself.

I would personally say it's not load bearing, given the plasterboard as you say and that it's between joists. That is not an expert opinion however.
