It was reported 9th July 1785 that a Mr. John
Pollington claimed to have taken a Public-house at Etling Green and
would be entering it at Michaelmas.
He was described as about 30 years old, a very personable man, near six
feet high, fresh complexion with his own dark hair. On the 6th June he
had been dressed in Corduroy Breeches, Silk Waistcoat, White Stockings,
round Hat and a light coloured Cloth Coat. He was completely smart and
produced a Green Shagreen Case Watch, another Silver Watch with
broken glass and Money and Bills to the amount of £150, and upwards. He
had claimed he was once Game keeper to Lord Sheffield and had been
Ostler at Gooderstone, Surrey.
Unfortunately the above information was reported since he was suspected
of having stolen a Brown Mare, worth Twelve Guineas, from Great
Ellingham and of selling it at Smithfield Market for Ten Guineas. A
Reward of Ten Guineas over and above the Reward allowed by Act of
Parliament would be received by any person who secured the said Pollington so that he could be brought to trial and convicted.
