SUPPOSED SUICIDE.

MR. F. S. POLLOCK FOUND DEAD. A painful sensation was caused in Stratford yesterday when it became known that Mr Frederick Smythe Pollock, the well-known coachbuilder, of Page Street, had been found dead in an outhouse' at the back of his office. It appears that Mr. Pollock had left home, apparently in the best of sp rits, between 9 and 10 a.m., for his office, telling his family that he wished to write a letter. A few hours later, when he had not returned, the eldest boy, Frederick, was sent in quest of him. The office door being locked, the boy climbed a fence and got into the budding through a back door, which was unlocked, proceeding through the shop into tho office. Finding no sign of Mr. Pollock, the boy searched the premises and found his father in an outhouse hanging by the neck from a cord suspended from a beam: The police and Dr. Paget were immediately summoned, but life was found to be extinct. An inquest will be held this afternoon before Mr. C. D. Sole, J.P., ActingCoroner.
