    • TEACHER'S DEATH.

      FINDING OF SUICIDE.

      A verdict of suicide by poisoning was returned by the coroner, Mr. F. K. Hunt, this morning at an inquest touching the death of Clinton Roland Gribbin, a school teacher, aged 41, who was found dead in Point Erin Park last Sunday morning.

      Evidence was given that Gribbin, who occupied a room in Vincent Street, was a married man with two children, and that he had not been heard of since he left the Newmarket School about three weeks ago.
